When Lao Wang Gui rushed to Shengzhou with the Datong army, Yang Dezheng had just received a battle report from Fan Long's fast horse.

Chenjiakou. The Great Tent of the Chinese Army. Yang Dezheng sat on the couch in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the herald knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng opened the battle report sealed by fire paint and carefully read it from the beginning. Fan Long carefully described the battle between him and Guo Da on the border of Fengzhou and Shengzhou in the battle report, and explained with great annoyance that he did not catch Guo Da and let Guo Da escape.

However, Yang Dezheng didn't care whether Guo Da was caught or not, as long as Guo Da's remnants were wiped out, Guo Da had already become a lost dog, and he had no possibility of turning over except for quietly fleeing back to Liao to wagging his tail and begging for mercy from his master.

"Boom~" After reading half of the letter, Yang Dezheng knocked on the case in front of him excitedly, and said with a smile: "Guo Da's remnants have been executed, and this Shengzhou will be surnamed Yang in the future." After laughing, Yang Dezheng continued to read the letter. At the end of the letter, Fan Long told Yang Dezheng that the wild beggars in Fengzhou chased Guo Da to the border of Shengzhou, and heard that the remnants of Guo Da's army were annihilated, but they had no intention of retreating, and there was a great possibility of marching into Shengzhou. After all, it was Guo Da who killed the eldest son of Ye Qi Ganbo, but it was the Fuxing Army who killed Ye Qi Ganbo's younger son.

Fan Longzheng is leading the Zhejia army to confront Ye Qi Ganbo, and due to the limited strength, the two sides are still tentative on a small scale. After reading the letter. Yang Dezheng frowned slightly. There were only 10,000 soldiers and horses left, but they were unwilling to retreat, and they were still spending money on the border between Toyosu and Shengzhou. Yang Dezheng speculated that Ye Qi Ganbo was likely to want to enter Shengzhou, and the reason why he was wasting time with Yan Qianzi was to delay time, so that he could transfer troops and horses from within the party.

Speculating at this point, Yang Dezheng put down the letter and said to the soldiers beside him: "Order the first and second regiments of the Ranger Regiment of the Fuxing Army, with 20,000 horses, to go to the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou to support the Mourners." The pro-soldiers around Yang Dezheng received the order and quickly went out to convey Yang Dezheng's order.

Yang Dezheng wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to the soldiers of the Zhejia army sent by Fan Long to deliver the battle report, and said: "Take my handwritten letter and go back to Fan Long to return to his life." At the same time, he told him that after the arrival of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Renaissance Army Rangers and 20,000 horses, he would control them. ”

The soldiers of the Zhejia army clenched their fists and said: "The subordinates obey the order." With Yang Dezheng's order, the first and second regiments of the Renaissance Army Rangers officially started and quickly went to the border of Fengzhou and Shengzhou to support. The soldiers of the Zhejia Army also took Yang Dezheng's handwritten letter and went with the Ranger of the Renaissance Army. After the soldiers and horses sent out to support, Yang Dezheng's expression was a little dignified.

If Ye Qi Ganbo mobilized a large number of troops and horses from within the party to attack Shengzhou, then Yang Dezheng's situation in Shengzhou would become precarious. Shengzhou is lost. The Liao people will definitely get the news quickly and react quickly. Once the armies of the Liao and Yeqi Ganbo get together, then the Shengzhou that Yang Dezheng just won is likely to be lost, and the revival army is also very likely to be disabled.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Dezheng seemed very impatient. The soldiers and horses of the wild beggars are easy to deal with, but the soldiers and horses of the Liao people are not so easy to deal with. It's not that Yang Dezheng was afraid of the Liao, but because the tactics of the Liao's combat were basically fighting with a large army pressing the border. That is to say, once the Liao people go south, it is basically impossible to command 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is very likely that they will command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Therefore, in Yang Dezheng's heart, Liao talent is a big trouble. The only thing that could help Yang Dezheng gain an advantage in the battle against the Liao was the pass of Chenjiakou, which was under construction. Yang Dezheng led Wang Xing, Wang Xing carried the banner, and when the group arrived at Chenjiakou, they saw the city building scene in Chenjiakou.

Nearly 200,000 people piled up in Chenjiakou. The construction site in Chenjiakou is particularly lively. After Yang Dezheng saw the pass built by Chenjiakou, he was slightly stunned. Because in the originally bare Chenjiakou, a three-foot-high wall has emerged. It's only been a few days, and the construction of the city wall has begun?

What about the foundation? The foundation is the most important part of a city wall. Often, three months to build a city, and more than a month is spent on the foundation. This shows the importance of foundations. Therefore, when he saw the three-foot-high wall that came out, Yang Qi not only did not feel happy, but was a little annoyed. He ordered someone to find Chen Yao, who was in charge of the construction of the city. When he saw Chen Yao, most of the anger in Yang Dezheng's chest disappeared.

In just a few days, the thin, weak, clean and fair-skinned Chen Yao disappeared. I saw that Chen Yao was rolling his trouser legs and sleeves, his hair was messy, and he was dirty, like a beggar. Yang Dezheng took a look at it and knew that Chen Yao had been running around the construction site to become like this. When Yang Dezheng's words of reprimand came to his lips, they turned into a cold question.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Yao gasped in a low voice and grinned: "I was about to inform you about this, General, the pass we originally constructed was sixteen zhang away from here. However, when it was time to lay the foundation, an old man told his subordinates that when the Liao people destroyed the Chenjiakou Pass, they only demolished the city wall, but did not destroy the foundation.

The subordinates sent people to look around, and sure enough, they found the foundation of the original Chenjiakou Pass. The subordinates ordered someone to clean up the foundation, and found that the original foundation was very stable and still usable. His subordinates hurriedly sent someone to report to you, the general, who gave us permission to build a city here. With the original foundation in place, we don't have to waste time laying the foundation directly. You can build a city directly. ”

Chen Yao scratched his head shyly and said with a dry smile: "The subordinates know that the progress is a little slow, but the people are already working day and night. This is already the fastest speed. Yang Dezheng was stunned, thought about it carefully, and remembered that two days ago, Chen Yao sent someone to report this matter to him. At that time, he was busy reforming the Revival Army and selecting elite soldiers, and he sent the person who reported with the sentence of 'let Chen Yao watch it'.

I almost blamed Chen Yao. Yang Dezheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile: "Good job, keep working hard." However, you can't act sloppily in order to dare to progress. To resist the easternmost city wall, it is necessary to face the charge of the Liao army, so it must be built strongly. Chen Yao nodded heavily and said, "The subordinates understand that the subordinates will never dare to act carelessly. Yang Dezheng told Chen Yao a few more words and sent Chen Yao down to continue working.

He led the king around the three-foot-high wall and went outside the wall. Walking outside Chenjiakou, Yang Dezheng looked around and always felt that something was wrong. After turning around for a long time, he saw that the mountains on both sides of Chenjiakou were full of trees. Lush and green.

Immediately, Yang Dezheng said: "Send someone to dispatch all the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Revival Army." Let them cut down all the trees on the east side of the mountain and the trees on the top of the hill and send them to the construction site to be used as supports. At the same time, they were warned that when they cut down trees, they should not cut them all, and they must leave a foot-high stubble. ”

The herald went down with a blank face and conveyed Yang Qi's order. And the people around Yang Dezheng were also at a loss. Only Wang Xing, who was carrying the big banner, said thoughtfully: "General, you are afraid that the Liao people will come from the mountains and forests on both sides to raid, so you ordered people to cut down trees." The reason why the stubble was left was for tripping horses. The Liao people have many cavalry, once they have this stubble as a shield. Basically, the idea of a sneak attack by the Liao people was eliminated. ”

Yang Dezheng stared at Wang Xing with a smile and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are quite discerning, your previous identity must be unusual, right?" Wang Xing's old face turned red, and he coughed dryly: "It's all in the past, why mention it now......" Since Wang Xing didn't want to say it, Yang Dezheng didn't have a problem. Yang Dezheng sighed and said, "Time is urgent, and this is the only way to make a decision." If you have enough time, you should build the walls all the way up the mountains. Then on the top of the two hills, two more military villages were erected. In that case, it will be difficult for the Liao people to fly in even if they have wings. ”

When Wang Xing heard this, he praised it: "The general is wise." Yang Dezheng rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that I'm wise, it's my father's wisdom." The method of building a city and setting up a village mentioned by Yang Dezheng is the method used by Yang Yanzhao in Yanmen Pass. Yang Yanzhao guarded Yanmen Pass for ten years, built a city wall of nearly 20 miles along the mountain range, and established three military villages.

The so-called Sanguan Village refers to the three military villages built by Yang Yanzhao in Yanmen Pass. When Wang Xing heard Yang Dezheng's words, he was shocked: "Could it be that Ling Zun is the guard of Yanmen Pass, the legendary Yang Yanzhao, Yang Liulang?" Yang Dezheng pursed his lips and did not answer Wang Xing's question.

Obviously, Yang Dezheng didn't want to wear the hat of Yang Liulang's son in the eyes of his subordinates. Yang Dezheng inspected the city wall, and when he finally walked to the edge of the city wall, he put forward a proposal to build a moat outside the city wall, and then led people to respond.

Regarding the situation of building the city, although Yang Dezheng was anxious, he couldn't urge it. He knew in his heart that once he urged it, it would be easy to produce tofu scum projects. When Yang Dezheng returned to the barracks, he found a group of homeless people, who had gathered in the open space near the barracks and settled. At the same time, there are tens of thousands of war horses, galloping and neighing. As soon as he saw this, a flash of joy flashed on Yang Dezheng's face, and his steps were much lighter.

After Yang Dezheng entered his Chinese army tent, he saw Yang Gui and Yang Xin waiting for him inside. Yang Xin is the person next to Sister Yang, this time Sister Yang coldly cut her love and transferred it to Yang Dezheng, and the incident of Sister Yang in Yanmen Pass was scolded by Yang Peng for a mess, and it is still in the news. When the three brothers meet, it is inevitable to have a pleasantry.

After the three of them sat down, Yang Dezheng sighed with emotion: "My brother, you are finally here." I'll be relieved when you're there. Yang Xin's eyes kept frequenting the outside of the tent, as if he didn't have the intention of talking to Yang Dezheng, his soul had been snatched away by the army outside who were preparing to cut down trees. Yang Gui glanced at Yang Xin, shook his head and smiled, and said to Yang Dezheng: "After receiving your letter, your brother Yang Xin and I hurried here. However, with a large number of displaced people, he couldn't go fast at all. ”

Yang Dezheng said excitedly: "It's good to come, it's good to come...... Yang Guiwan smiled and said with emotion: "Now Yang Xin and I are about to become soldiers under your command, and we have to listen to you, the general, everywhere." Your letter is better than a military order. Yang Dezheng grinned and said, "Yang Gui, are you making fun of me?" You and my brother, do you still have to be honored? ”

Yang Gui waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know that I can't please you by playing tricks with you, a tanhualang." Brother, I'm not joking with you anymore, let's get down to business. Yang Dezheng immediately made a deaf look. Yang Guizheng said: "Before coming to Shengzhou, my father sent me a letter. Let me advise you not to attack Toyoshu. Yang Dezheng pondered for a moment, and immediately understood Yang Yanzhao's concerns.

Yang Dezhengle smiled and said: "From the moment I arrived in Daizhou, Shengzhou has been included in the territory of Daizhou by me. Now that Shengzhou has taken it, it is impossible to hand it over again, right? Yang Dezheng quipped: "I don't dare to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid of being poked in the back." Yang Gui pointed at Yang Dezheng with a smile, "You, you ......" Yang Gui is the eldest brother, and he has the responsibility and obligation to carry out the letter handed over by Yang Yanzhao. However, execution is execution.

Yang Gui raised his hands in favor of Yang Dezheng's victory over Shengzhou. After he reached Yang Yanzhao's words, he no longer talked about the question of Shengzhou's stay and stay. Yang Gui sat down solemnly and said in a deep voice: "On the way here, I heard that you are building a city in Chenjiakou?" Yang Gui nodded, "After taking Shengzhou this time, the Liao people will definitely not give up, and they will definitely make a big attack." At present, our troops are limited, and it is impossible to face the Liao people head-on. can only step up the construction of the city wall, and use the power of the city wall to resist the Liao. ”

Yang Gui nodded and said, "Your ideas and practices are correct. You are working so hard, I, the big brother, can't hold you back. This time, you Yang Xin and I have gathered a total of 120,000 displaced people. These were all laborers, and they were all sent to build the city. Yang Dezheng arched his hand and said: "Brother Lao will be involved in building the city." Yang Gui waved his hand and smiled: "You and my brother, don't be so polite." ”

At this time, Yang Xin suddenly turned his head and said, "What about me?" Yang Dezheng said solemnly: "The wild beggar is on the border of Shengzhou, and it has the intention of attacking Shengzhou. After that, I will take 20,000 soldiers and horses to the border of Shengzhou and fight with the wild beggars. Yang Xin, you are responsible for sitting in Chenjiakou with your eldest brother. I will have the remaining 10,000 Revival Army Rangers in your hands, Fifth Brother.

In addition, the preparation for the construction of heavy cavalry should also be done. Yang Xin: While training this 10,000 Fuxing Army rangers, you can select qualified heavy armored cavalry warriors. "Yang Xin is a persistent person, and he is obsessed with training soldiers and horses and commanding troops to fight. Therefore, Yang Dezheng was very satisfied with Yang Xin's arrangement. The arrival of Yang Gui and Yang Xin completely solved Yang Dezheng's worries. He entrusted the affairs of Chenjiakou to Yang Da, and handed over to Yang Xin's 10,000 rangers. He himself took 20,000 foot soldiers of the Revival Army and rushed to the border of Shengzhou to help.

The junction of Katsushu and Toyoshu.

A temporary camp set up by Fan Long. Yang Dezheng led 20,000 foot soldiers of the Fuxing Army into the camp, but he did not see Fan Long come to greet him, and it was the second regiment of the Fuxing Rangers who greeted Yang Dezheng. "Subordinate Grande see the general." The Second Regiment of the Ranger of the Revival Army is a burly man, and because of his martial arts and equestrian skills, he has a high prestige among the Revival Rangers.

He was also one of the first lieutenant generals to follow Fan Long's side, and was promoted to the second regiment for meritorious service. This is a typical party person, who speaks straightforwardly and does not know how to detour. Yang Dezheng sat on horseback, looked around at the soldiers and horses in the camp, and asked, "What about General Fan Long?" Grande stiffly arched his hand and said: "This morning, the soldiers and horses dispatched by Ye Qiganbo from the interior of the party have arrived, and there are a total of 50,000 people. General Fan Long was afraid that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity, so he brought the men and horses of the 1st Regiment of the Revival Rangers and went to reinforce them. ”

Yang Dezheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Ye Qi Ganbo actually sent 50,000 horses to reinforce him, it seems that he really wants to gnaw at Shengzhou." Yang Dezheng sighed with emotion, and after sighing, he ordered Grande: "Grande, order to go down and let the second regiment of the revival rangers be on alert." Always ready to enter the battlefield. ”

Grande arched his hand and said, "My subordinates obey orders." After giving the order, Yang Dezheng had no intention of continuing to stay in the camp, and he did not let the foot soldiers of the Fuxing Army enter the battlefield. Instead, he led 20,000 foot soldiers out of the camp and went directly to the battlefield.

In today's situation of war, Yang Dezheng can only choose to face the wild beggars. The whole battle has developed to this day, and there is no place for intrigue and trickery. Everything has to be spoken by strength. In terms of the comparison of strength, although the difference in strength between the two sides is only 10,000 people.

However, the difference in combat effectiveness in the middle is huge. At present, under the command of Yang Qi, the soldiers of the 10,000 Zhijia army can be regarded as elite soldiers. The party members who became monks halfway through the road can only be regarded as barely qualified fighters. There is also a large number of men, all of whom are recruited from Shengzhou.

Moreover, in terms of equipment, Yang Dezheng is also obviously at a disadvantage. Yang Dezheng commanded 50,000 horses, in addition to the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, the remaining soldiers were only equipped with a knife and a few armors captured from Shengzhou.

In other words, the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command are called soldiers and horses at best, but they are a group of ordinary people with knives. On the other hand, the total of 60,000 soldiers and horses on the side of Ye Qiganbo not only have standard war horses, but also a lot of equipment such as armor and scimitars, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng.

Because, the two sides are going head-to-head, and it's a bit difficult to fight. When Yang Dezheng arrived at the battlefield with 20,000 Fuxing Army foot soldiers, he saw Fan Longzheng leading 10,000 soldiers of the Zhejia Army and 10,000 Revival Rangers fighting against Ye Qiganbo.

The soldiers and horses under the command of the opposite Ye Qi Ganbo obviously had an urge to jump. And the soldiers and horses under Fan Long's command looked a little restrained and serious. When the 20,000 Fuxing Army infantry led by Yang Dezheng arrived, Yang Dezheng could obviously feel the relief of the soldiers and horses under Fan Long's command. 20,000 foot soldiers of the Fuxing Army merged into the soldiers and horses under Fan Long's command.

Yang Dezheng rode to the front of the two armies and came to Fan Long's side. Fan Long saw Yang Dezheng and was obviously relieved. and took the initiative to give up the position of the main general. Yang Dezheng asked Fan Long sideways, and said in a low voice: "What's the situation now?" Fan Long lowered his voice and said solemnly: "The big war is about to break out. Yang Dezheng was stunned, "The opponent's strength and combat effectiveness are obviously superior, why didn't they attack?" ”

Fan Long pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "Ye Qi Ganbo said that he doesn't want to invade Shengzhou, so he can give us a chance to hand over the murderers of his eldest son and younger son, and the matter will be revealed." ”

Yang Dezheng was stunned and sneered: "He doesn't want to invade Shengzhou? He didn't want to offend the Liao people. Shengzhou is in our hands, and we have to bear the wrath of the Liao people. But when Shengzhou is in his hands, he has to bear the wrath of the Liao people. He didn't want to provoke the northern overlord of Liao, so he made this decision.

From this point of view, in the heart of the wild beggar, although his son is important. But it's not important enough to offend the Liao people for the sake of his son. Fan Long nodded silently. After understanding the beginning and the end clearly, Yang Dezheng had an idea in his heart. I saw Yang Dezheng straddle his horse forward, and when he arrived in front of the two armies, he shouted at the top of his voice: "On the other side, are the soldiers and horses of the leader of the wild beggar Ganbo?" ”

Among the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe, Yeqi Ganbo heard Yang Dezheng call him by name, and his brows were obviously wrinkled. Compared with a month ago, Ye Qiganbo has obviously aged a lot, and the sharpness of his whole body has also been reduced a lot, replaced by a kind of old twilight. Although Ye Qiganbo was not satisfied with Yang Dezheng's call for his life, he did not react excessively.

He just waved his hand at the lieutenant next to him. The adjutant general instantly understood what he meant, and also rode his horse to the front of the two armies. "It's the soldiers and horses of the leader of my family, who are you?" Yang Dezheng said with a hippie smile: "Who am I when you ask?" I am the benefactor of the head of your family. When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately scolded: "Fart, nonsense." ”

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