Yang Dezheng seemed to see the scruples of the generals, and he immediately said clearly: "You can speak freely. I just wanted to hear your suggestions and take a closer look. It doesn't matter if it's wrong. No one will be punished for that. The generals of the Zhejia Army glanced at each other, and after getting Yang Dezheng's promise, they were also a lot more relieved, and began to talk about their opinions.

Yang Dezheng listened to it roughly, and their opinions can be divided into two categories. One group advocated attacking Toyosu Castle. Those who advocated the attack felt that they could take advantage of this opportunity to take Toyosu City. Compared with the comparison of the military strength of Guo Da and Ye Qi Ganbo, Guo Dabu's military strength is obviously weaker than that of Ye Qi Ganbo.

It is completely easier to snatch Fengzhou City from Guo Da's hands than to snatch Fengzhou City from Ye Qiganbo's hands. As long as you control Toyosu Castle in your hands. Even if you are facing the wild beggar Ganbo, if you can't beat it, you can ask for help from the Zhejia army. The other group advocates continuing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. They felt that they could continue to lurk.

Then let Ye Qi Ganbo and Guo Da fight down. When the time comes, you can sit back and reap the profits. In fact, the two ideas they said coincided with what Yang Dezheng thought. It's just that Yang Dezheng feels that these two methods have drawbacks. After snatching Fengzhou City from Guo Da and facing the wild beggar Ganbo, Yang Dezheng felt that he had little chance of winning.

And when the time comes, it is not safe to ask for help from the Zhejia army. The Zhe family has just taken Linzhou, and to stabilize Linzhou and defend the party, this requires a large number of soldiers and horses. At such a critical juncture. It is impossible for the Zhe family to send reinforcements to help Yang Dezheng.

Therefore, it is not wise to pin your hopes on the Zhejia. Continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. There are drawbacks to this approach. The 30,000 revival troops under his command have been gathering rapidly in recent days. Once 30,000 horses are gathered, it will be a big goal, and it may not be able to hide it at that time.

As long as Guo Da and Ye Qi Ganbo found out that they were plotting Fengzhou City. The situation will be at an impasse. Because no one wants to help others make wedding dresses. When the time comes, the wild beggar Ganbo will definitely continue to mobilize troops and horses from the wild beggar tribe of the party. And Guo Da is also likely to take this opportunity to ask for help from Liao. The two of them will quickly gather strength as a result.

At that time, the 30,000 revival army under Yang Dezheng was a little weak. It is very likely that it will be quickly wiped out in the confrontation between the two major forces. Therefore, both options have drawbacks. Yang Dezheng is also not easy to judge, which plan should be used. Yang Dezheng frowned and looked at Fan Long.

Fan Long gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight." Now, there is no possibility for us to back down. If we want to gain a foothold in the northwest, we must not steal a living from chickens and dogs, but must show our prestige in an upright manner. Yang Dezheng nodded helplessly. He admitted that when the two plans were placed in front of him, Fan Long's choice and statement were correct.

In this land of four wars. Everything has to be done with your fists. Suddenly, a voice sounded timidly.

"That...... The last general will say...... "When the people followed the voice, they saw a man hiding quietly in a corner of the thatched hut." The man was very thin, tall and thin, wearing a suit of armor and appearing very broad. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, this person seemed a little cramped and uneasy.

He looked up and smiled dryly, looking at ease of embarrassment. Seeing that no one was talking, still staring at him, he whispered. "When I didn't say ......"

Yang Dezheng stared at this person for a while, searching his mind for memories of this person. After a while, Yang Dezheng asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Chen Yao?" This person was stunned, obviously not expecting Yang Dezheng to remember his name. His face was slightly red, and he stretched out his hand from his wide sleeve with great effort, and arched his hand: "The subordinate is Chen Yao." ”

The reason why Yang Dezheng has an impression of Chen Yao is because this person is a talent who was scooped up in the guerrilla warfare launched by Yang Dezheng this time. It is also one of the few minorities in this thatched hut that does not belong to the Fold Army. In this guerrilla war launched by Yang Dezheng, the people of the Zhejia Army almost uniquely occupied the position of captain of most of the 100 brigades.

But there are exceptions. Chen Yao is an exception. This person is a Han Chinese, and his family has been exiled to the party. Because he was born thin and weak, he was bullied by many people in the party. Later, when he first woke up, he stirred up the wind and rain in the party. This man took the opportunity to take refuge under the command of the awakening. was originally an inconspicuous pawn, but in this guerrilla war, he stood out. His brigade, when he set off, was the first to move.

It was also the brigade that suffered the heaviest blow from the cavalry of the wild beggar tribe. The captain of the brigade and the overseers died at the hands of the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe. At the critical moment, this person stepped forward. Relying on their own wisdom, they led their brigade of men and horses to fight wits and courage with the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, and finally succeeded in surviving. The sneak attack on Fengzhou City and the killing of the youngest son of the wild beggar Ganbo have a credit to this person.

After the soldiers and horses converged, although Yang Dezheng was very annoyed by the predicament caused to him by these guys who went to attack Fengzhou City, he also admired their talents. Therefore, Yang Dezheng officially appointed Chen Yao as a general. The official position is not high, just a petty official from the eighth grade. But it also has the power to senate on military affairs. Yang Dezheng has always felt that heroes don't ask where they come from, so he didn't despise Chen Yao because of his small official position. Yang Dezheng waved his hand, signaling him not to be nervous, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

Encouraged by Yang Dezheng, Chen Yao boldly said: "General, my lords, your eyes have always been on Fengzhou City, so have you ever thought about Shengzhou City?" "Katsushu Castle?" Yang Dezheng and the other generals were immediately stunned. Although Chen Yao is humble and timid, he does not reserve it when he explains his ideas. As long as he said it, he could finish it quickly, "At present, the Liao army of Guo Dabu is basically pouring out. Therefore, the Liao army in Shengzhou City should only have three or two kittens.

Why don't we take the opportunity to sneak attack Shengzhou? Guo Da is dragged by wild beggars here, and there is no time to return to help. By the time he reacts, we've already taken Shengzhou. As long as we take Shengzhou, we can divide the troops into two roads, all the way to the border of Shengzhou, and quickly lead the soldiers and horses to build a pass; Along the way, you can ambush Guoda on the border of Toyosu and Seongshu.

Once Guo Da was defeated, he retreated, or returned to Shengzhou. We can all wait for it and destroy it. Then in the counterattack back to Toyosu, take Toyosu. The more Chen Yao spoke, the more excited he became, obviously, he should have been thinking about this plan for a long time. And the thought is very thorough, taking into account not only the wild beggar Ganbo side, but also the reaction of Guo Da and the Liao side. Yang Dezheng thought about it carefully and felt that what Chen Yao said was reasonable.

In Yang Dezheng's plan, Shengzhou is also a place to fight. According to Yang Dezheng's original plan, he was ready to slowly try to win the state. It would be nice to have the opportunity to take Shengzhou at the lowest cost. Once Shengzhou is taken, and a wall similar to Yanmen Pass is quickly built on the border of Shengzhou, it will be able to keep the Liao army out of Shengzhou.

Shengzhou also fell into the hands of the Yang family. Yang Dezheng immediately clapped his hand and said: "That's it." He was also blind before, but now that he was awakened by Chen Yao, Yang Dezheng's vision suddenly became broader. Yang Dezheng is not a procrastinator. Now that you have decided to surprise the victory, act quickly. Yang Dezheng wrote a letter and asked people to take it and hand it to Yang Gui. With 30,000 horses, he rushed to Shengzhou day and night.

When Yang Dezheng rushed to Shengzhou with people. Ye Qi Ganbo gathered his 60,000 cavalry and rushed to Toyosu City. When he saw the head of his son hanging on the head of the city and Guo Da's military flag, he was completely angry. Although Ye Qiganbo dotes on his youngest son, in his heart, the most important thing is his eldest son.

He has always cultivated his eldest son as an heir, and has given too many high hopes. Now that the eldest son is dead, it has dealt a great blow to the wild beggar. After the wild beggar arrived at Toyosu Castle, he decisively gave the order to attack the city. At the same time, the order to slaughter the city was also given. The 60,000 cavalry and the 20,000 Liao troops in the city fought for a long time. Neither of them had the intention of letting the other go. Lao Yang, who is far away on the border of Daizhou, has been paying attention to the battle in Fengzhou.

Yang Yanzhao's hands itched a lot, but he couldn't go out of Daizhou to fight, so he could only watch dryly. Since Yang Qi sent three months' salary, Yang Yanzhao no longer has to worry about food. He had plenty of time to spend here. Yang Yanzhao was bored in the tent and kept deducing the battle situation in the northwest.

Wang Gui held a red lacquer letter in his hand and hurriedly entered Yang Yanzhao's tent. "Ling Gong, there is news of the eldest young master." Yang Yanzhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "That kid won't really fight Fengzhou City, right?" "Yang Yanzhao often received information from Fengzhou here, often relatively late, so what he knows so far is that Yang Yanzhao is quietly stationed outside Fengzhou City.

Regarding Yang Yanzhao's attack on Fengzhou City, Lao Yang felt that it was nothing. However, Yang Yanzhao felt that he might not be able to hold it if he was defeated. Yang Yanzhao saw very clearly from Yang Dezheng's intention to divide the troops, gather the troops again, and plot Fengzhou City. Yang Yanzhao can surmise that Yang Dezheng did not calculate Guo Dabu's sudden participation. Also underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Guo Dabu. So it's easy for Yang Dezheng to fall into a dilemma.

But no matter how he chose, the outcome didn't seem to be good. Yang Yanzhao felt that Yang Dezheng had better withdraw to Daizhou, and avoided this choice at once. Wang Gui has been deducing the battle situation with Yang Yanzhao in recent days, so he understands Yang Yanzhao's thoughts. Wang Gui handed over the red lacquer letter, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ling Gong, you and I have guessed wrong. ”

"Oh?" Yang Yanzhao took the letter, opened it, and looked dumbfounded. "He's going to Shengzhou?" Wang Gui couldn't help but laugh and said: "According to the report of the spies lurking in the revival army, Yang Dezheng said that he was going to pick up Shengzhou, not Shengzhou. ”

Lao Yang took the letter and said tremblingly: "It is a wonderful move to win the state, but, however, the victory state is the territory of the Liao country. Once he took Shengzhou, it would be easy to provoke a big war between Song and Liao. When the time comes, the Liao people will go south, how will he end? Who was he when he thought the Northwest was his home? Wang Gui sighed and said: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Now that we're here, let's think about how to end it, right? Lao Yang slumped in his chair and muttered, "How does the old man know how to end?" ”

Lao Yang has never done such an exciting thing in his life. So he really didn't know what to do. After sitting paralyzed for a while, Yang Yanzhao stood up and said, "No, the old man must stop that rabbit cub." Wang Gui hurriedly said: "Absolutely not." Now that the war in Fengzhou is frequent, you must sit in Daizhou. Once you leave Daishu, the enemy will take the opportunity to attack Daishu, and that's it. ”

Yang Yanzhao was indignant: "The old man can't watch that little rabbit cub get into trouble, right?" Wang Gui groaned: "For today's plan, we can only watch." However, isn't Yang Gui along the Fengzhou line now? Why didn't Ling Gong send a letter to Yang Gui and ask them to persuade the eldest young master. Yang Yanzhao nodded solemnly and said, "The old man will write to Yang Gui." ”

Just as Yang Yanzhao was writing to Yang Gui. Yang Dezheng has already led his men into Shengzhou. After entering Shengzhou, Yang Dezheng's brows furrowed. Fengzhou and Shengzhou are separated by a water, but after Yang Dezheng entered Shengzhou, it was like going to a strange place. The Han people in Fengzhou, although they have a very poor life, can barely be regarded as individuals. But after entering Shengzhou.

Everywhere I went, I saw something appalling. In Shengzhou, all the Han children are slaves. Yang Dezheng stormed a village and killed the Liao people inside. Thousands of enslaved people were rescued. Their eyes were numb, and when they saw Yang Dezheng's army, their eyes were full of fear. Especially those women, after seeing Yang Dezheng's army, seven or eight were stunned on the spot.

Yang Dezheng burst into tears, and he roared and instructed Chen Yao, "Hit the banner of Yang." Let the soldiers tell the people that we are coming. Yang Dezheng's pure Chinese voice obviously attracted the attention of some old people among the people. Their eyes were visibly starting to glow. An old man was bold and asked, "But my Han general?" Yang Dezheng solemnly shouted: "I am the general of the Han family, the chief general of the revival army, Yang Dezheng." ”

"Poof~" The old people knelt on the ground one after another, crying and crying. "You're here! You're coming! I've been waiting for you for forty-five years, old man. "Forty-five years! How did you come, how did you come? "Woo woo...... Why did you come here! ”“……”

The sentence 'Why did you come', Yang Dezheng, a talented man who asked, was speechless. Tears flowed uncontrollably. Oh, yes! Sixty-five years have passed since Shi Jingjiao dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan. When people mention this history, they always feel humiliated, unwilling, and angry. However, when Yang Dezheng set foot on this land, what he saw was not humiliation, unwillingness, or anger.

It's more of a guilt. A guilt that comes from the bottom of my heart. It's like a brother of a mother's fellow who has been imprisoned. And you are always sighing, unwilling, feeling humiliated, angry. But when you rescued him. All you feel is guilt. My brother has been wronged, how can you, a strong brother, not feel guilty if you can't help him get justice?

Yang Dezheng was more deeply touched than everyone else. Because he knew that if he hadn't shown up as a-stirring stick. The Han people in Liaodi have suffered more than 65 years. It's hundreds of years. Yang Dezheng felt that he had a lot to say, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word. A thousand words, condensed into one sentence.

"We're late. Let you be wronged. Yang Dezheng helped up the old man led by him, and said loudly with tears streaming down his face: "From now on, we will have the final say in this Shengzhou." From now on, you will be able to live and work in peace and contentment like the people of the Central Plains. Of course, I hope that everyone can work hard and work together to save more people who are suffering. The others, too, reacted at this time and began to cry along.

From now on, I finally don't have to be a slave anymore, and I finally don't have to be humiliated anymore. Yang Dezheng sent people to pacify the people. Then he ordered the army to play the banner of Yangzi. All the way to Shengzhou Castle. When the army was marching out, Yang Dezheng's order was only one word.

"Kill!" Yang Dezheng divided the 30,000 revival army into small units again and began to sweep in Shengzhou. The army swept all the way through. In response to that sentence, that is to pick up the city. Almost everywhere he went, resistance was weak. In front of the large number of people of the Renaissance Army, it did not play a big role at all. The army crushed it. When it came to Katsushu Castle.

The revival army under Yang Dezheng once again transformed into cavalry. There are many Liao people in Shengzhou, and many of them are descendants of nobles. Therefore, the revival army can easily gather from Shengzhou to War Horse. By the time the army reached Shengzhou City, it was already three days later. Judging from the defense of Shengzhou City, Guo Da is indeed a general. He built the defense of Shengzhou City well.

However, in order to take Toyoshu, he almost emptied Shengzhou's soldiers and horses. Therefore, on the walls of Shengshu Castle, there were less than 2,000 soldiers and horses responsible for defense. There were also 3,000 war slaves who had been temporarily recruited. Yang Dezheng crossed the horse to the city of Shengzhou. The 30,000 revival army has expanded to 50,000 in just three days. After being rescued, the young man of Shengzhou decisively joined the revival army.

And it's the kind that you have to enter. They all have a resentment in their hearts, they need to vent, they need revenge. Yang Dezheng strictly ordered the Renaissance Army not to recruit soldiers at will, but to go through strict selection. Even so, 20,000 soldiers and horses were levied.

An army of 50,000 gathered under the castle of Katsushu. Yang Dezheng raised his palms and shouted loudly: "Siege!" "The 50,000 Revival Army is basically nothing to see when attacking a city with only 2,000 regular soldiers and 3,000 slave soldiers. Although Guo Da made Shengzhou City impassable, the revival army under Yang Dezheng attacked from all sides at the same time, and the garrisons at the head of the city were assigned to each city wall, which consisted of 500 regular soldiers and hundreds of slave soldiers.

The generals and colonels who could command the troops in Shengzhou City were all transferred by Guo Da, so the battle situation was basically one-sided. In the siege battle, Fan Long showed his strong force. The three-zhang high city wall, with only a cloud ladder, successfully climbed to the top of the city. Faced with more than 1,000 soldiers on the city, Fan Long was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and began a brutal massacre. The Fuxing Army, which followed behind Fan Long, almost didn't have any pressure and landed at the top of the city.

An hour later, the entire city of Shengzhou had changed hands. When Yang Dezheng led the army into the city across the horse, the people who should be purged have been slaughtered. The blood on both sides of the street stained the entire street red. But the Han people of Liaodi were not afraid or disgusted at all, they crowded on both sides of the street, shouting and screaming wildly. It seems to vent all the anger and depression in my heart.

They all know that the general of the Han family has arrived, and from then on, this city will no longer be surnamed Liao, but will be surnamed Han. The north wind blew wildly. The Yangzi banner stretched very straight in the north wind. The Yang character on the banner is engraved in the hearts of every Shengzhou City people.

Yang Dezheng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and Guo Mansion in the middle of the people's welcome. In front of the Guo Mansion. Yang Dezheng looked at his people, and he felt that he needed to say a few words. Yang Dezheng jumped off the horse, and in order to let more people see him, he stood on a two-meter-high stone platform in front of Guo's mansion.

"Smack~" The horsewhip was thrown up and whipped on the plaque of Guofu. The plaque of Guo's mansion was shattered in response.

"Good!" The people jumped up and cheered for joy. Yang Dezheng put his hands behind his back and said solemnly: "The people of Shengzhou City, brothers and sisters. My name is Yang Dezheng, and I am the general of our Han family. Today's capture of Shengzhou City is to understand the suffering of my Han brothers and sisters.

From now on, this city of Shengzhou will be our common home. The afflictions that you have borne are over. When the people heard this, they burst into tears. Some even knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng said with a solemn face: "However, in the east, the Liao people are still eyeing us. Today, I have captured Shengzhou, and the Liao people will not agree. He will come in a great army.

We have to rely on our hands to keep the Liao people out of Shengzhou. The Liao people must not be allowed to invade Shengzhou again, and the Liao people must not be allowed to harm our brothers and sisters again. In order to defend against the Liao, I decided to build a fortress similar to Yanmen Pass in Chenjiakou. As long as the pass is built, the Liao people will never be able to step into Shengzhou again.

And my troops are limited, and we must build a fortress as soon as possible. So, I need everyone to help me. One person from each family went to build the city. Hearing that they were asked to help build the city to defend against the Liao, the people were obviously hesitant.

Hearing that the Liao people would soon be invaded by a large army, the people were even more hesitant. The Liao people seemed to have planted a fierce seed in their hearts, so that they did not dare to resist easily. Yang Dezheng's face was ugly. The Liao people have ruled Shengzhou for sixty-five years, and many of the newly-born Han people of the Liao have been enslaved for half their lives under the high-pressure policies of the Liao.

They have a heartfelt fear of the Liao people. The Liao people have always been high in the hearts of the Han people in Liao. A Liao person can kill a Han people at will. But if a Han people want to hurt a Liao person, they will be retaliated against by destroying the whole family.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
