It has been five days since the Zhou army broke through Pingyang City, and the original Great Qi Jinzhou Road Xingtai Yamen, located in the north of the city, has also been changed to the Great Zhou Jinzhou Thorn History Yamen.

Of course, it is not the undetermined history of the Jinzhou Assassins of the Great Zhou Dynasty that occupies the government now, but dozens of senior generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Great Zhou, including Emperor Yuwenyong.

Wang Yi, the superintendent, said: "...... In the past few days, our army has transported all the seriously wounded who have lost their combat strength back to the Tongguan camp first, and the remaining nearly 60,000 elites have also finished resting and can march at any time.

According to the time of the Flying Eagle's message, the King of Qi will be able to withdraw to Pingyang City tomorrow, and the 100,000 troops led by the puppet Qi Emperor Gao Wei will pursue at the end of the year, and it is expected that they will also arrive in Pingyang the day after tomorrow.

Whether our army advances or retreats, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

The candlelight flickered, and a dim halo cast on Yu Wenyong's face, but it seemed to reflect a rare hesitation.

Therefore, Yu Wenxin, who had accumulated merit in the previous battle and was promoted to hussar general, couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, why should you worry too much? With Your Majesty's holy wisdom and might, taking advantage of the enemy's absurd indulgence, why worry about not being able to conquer them?

If a good monarch appears in the puppet Qi, and the monarchs and ministers work together, then even if I have the momentum of Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou, it is not easy to level the other party, but now the monarch of the puppet Qi is mediocre, the ministers are stupid, and the army has no fighting spirit, although there are millions of people, it is actually given to His Majesty.

Your Majesty, why can't you fight and capture the puppet Emperor Gao Wei in front of him?"

Junzheng (military judge) Wang Hong stepped forward and echoed: "The discipline of the Qi State has been corrupted, and there have been two generations so far. Heaven blessed us with Da Zhou, and after a battle, we grabbed each other's throats.

The so-called attack on the country of bullying and turmoil and defeat is today. Let go of the weak pseudo-Qi and retreat by himself, the minister really can't understand ......"

Yu Wenyong's face was silent for a long time.

Of course, he knew that what these two people said was true, compared to the last year, Qi was in front of the elite of Luoyang Dugu Yongye, and this time he took Jinzhou, all the way like a bamboo, except for attacking Pingyang City, the seat of Jinzhou, and holding on to the city for a few more days, the rest of the Jinzhou city had no resistance in front of the various divisions of the Great Zhou, and even Qi Wang Yu Wenxian led the vanguard army to the periphery of Jinyang (Taiyuan).

Although the Eastern Expedition to Qi had planned a strategy of anti-guest before the invasion of Qi, that is, after the capture of Pingyang City, a small number of elites were left to rely on Pingyang Jiancheng to consume the main force of Northern Qi...... However, in the face of the good start of the victory of the Zhou army in the first battle and the favorable status quo of the increasingly corrupt Qi army, Yu Wenyong could not help but have the idea of directly fighting a decisive battle with Gao Wei's 100,000 army.

If we can win the battle, wouldn't we be able to capture the entire Northern Qi in one fell swoop? Why bother withdrawing and then advancing back and forth in a decisive battle?

Shi Zhixuan, as the only two Shangzhu generals in the Zhou army, has always occupied the first place in the left column in the absence of Yu Wenxian. At this time, he looked at Yu Wenyong's uncertain expression, and disguised himself by raising a glass of tea, and said to Yang Jian, an old acquaintance beside him:

"Sui Gong thinks that now our army should advance or retreat?"

Yang Jian didn't seem to be affected by the big victory in the first battle before, his eyes were as calm and firm as ever, and he couldn't help but groan a little when he heard the words: Isn't he testing my vision and talent to be able to control the momentum of Hanxing and ascend to that supreme position?

Immediately, Yang Jian also raised his glass to cover up, and the voice replied: "Yuwen Xin is brave and brave, and the art of war is acceptable, but his vision is shorter;

The corners of Shi Zhixuan's mouth hooked up a weird smile, and he said, "Then you have to be prepared!"

Yang Jian didn't know why, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Shi Zhixuan's gaze fell back to Yu Wenxin and Wang Hong, who were excited and expectant, and felt that they were slightly the same as Yang Jian's heroic sightings - Yu Wenxin and Wang Hong are both superior talents, but they are only limited to playing a role in the right field, the former is brave and good at fighting, and can be a pioneer but not a handsome, and the latter is fair and strict, and can be a law enforcement adjutant or a handsome.

It's just because the two of them only achieved the domain of the war between Zhou and Qi, but they never achieved the overall situation of the world.

As the saying goes, those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain!

In any case, the scale of the great war with a total of 230,000 troops of Zhou and Qi is also a grand war of the first class in the world, and its victory or defeat is enough to affect the situation in the entire world, and it will also attract the close attention of all countries in the world to see if there is a possibility of getting a piece of the pie.

Therefore, the strategic instructors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty must not only focus on the gains and losses of one city and one place, one battle and one battle, but must look at the whole world and consider it holistically.

After all, Middle-earth and the surrounding areas are not only Zhou and Qi, but surrounded by wolves, if the Northern Zhou Dynasty wants to successfully annex the Northern Qi Dynasty, then the king can only win the decisive battle of the king but not the bitter victory, otherwise not only will there be a risk of failure, but also may make a wedding dress for others.

For example, Nanchen, who is also keen on cutting Qi, and the Turks and Goguryeo, who have always been eyeing the prosperous places of the Central Plains of Zhou and Qi.

Now the 100,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty are rushing in, and the momentum is flourishing, nearly half of which are still the elite of the Jinyang Fortress......

After Yu Wenyong pondered it repeatedly, he obviously also understood this, forcibly abandoned the temptation of a direct decisive battle, and said in a deep voice: "What the two Aiqing said is reasonable, but the strategy has been decided before, and it is easier to rush suddenly, and confusion will inevitably occur." ”

Yuwenxin and Wang Hong glanced at each other, and wanted to persuade again, but they waved to Yuwenyong to stop. The two turned their eyes to Shi Zhixuan, Yang Jian and other generals who could speak, as if they hoped that everyone would give advice, but no one responded, and the two had no choice but to retreat.

Yu Wenyong looked around the hall, "I want to continue to implement the established policy, who is willing to assassinate the history of Jinzhou, stick to Pingyang City, and resist the puppet Qi 100,000 army?"

Although he asked, his eyes were fixed on Yang Jian, and the deep meaning was self-evident.

Yang Jian's face was expressionless, but he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, his hands and feet were cold, and he finally understood what Shi Zhixuan meant just now, "There is a preparation", it turned out that Yu Wenyong would take the opportunity to let him stay and garrison Pingyang City!

Once he takes on such a heavy task, he will face the onslaught of the 100,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty with more than 10,000 elites under his command.

Even if he did everything to keep Pingyang City, the generals and henchmen cultivated by the Yang family over the years would also suffer heavy losses, and Yuwen Yong would deliberately suppress it openly and secretly, and the Yang family would inevitably collapse and gradually die out.

Otherwise, he could only send the backbone of the Yang family back to Chang'an and choose to die himself and a small number of generals in Pingyang City, and then the Yang family could not escape a certain degree of suppression by Yuwen Yong, but they could keep their wealth and wealth forever.

Shi Zhixuan still smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking like he was watching a good show, and secretly sighed: "Yuwen Yong's move cannot be described as not vicious. Yang Jian can either destroy the family and temporarily save himself, or sacrifice himself and live in the family forever, what a dilemma!"

Under the attention of everyone, just when Yang Jian was still fighting in his heart, a heroic middle-aged man who was separated by two seats had a gleam in his eyes, and suddenly got up and bowed his hand to Yuwen Yong and said solemnly: "Weichen is willing to defend Pingyang City for His Majesty, and will refuse to fake Qi 100,000 troops and the city!"

The tone is resolute and vigorous.

When the generals saw this, their eyes flashed, or they were surprised, or they were surprised.

"Chen Liujun is loyal to the country, and I am very relieved. A hint of disappointment inadvertently flashed in the depths of Yuwen Yong's pupils, and he didn't immediately agree.

Yang Jian turned his head and glanced at the man meaningfully, and the man also turned his head, his sharp eyes looked at Yang Jian unabashedly, with a look of righteousness and awe-inspiring determination on his face, but there was a looming ruthlessness in his eyes.

Shi Zhixuan's gaze turned back and forth between the man and Yang Jian, with a slight smile in his eyes: Brother Huh?

That person's face is four or five points similar to Yang Jian, and it is Yang Jian's brother-in-law Yang Quan, who is a compatriot of his mother. Previously, Yang Quan's performance had been tepid, and he could be regarded as an outstanding talent among the children of the powerful, but he was not as top-notch as Yang Jian, but the momentum that suddenly erupted when Yang Cheng got up just now showed his strong skills beyond the first-class in the rivers and lakes and comparable to the top masters.

He asked for battle in time, and it seemed that he did not hesitate to stand up for Yang Jian and take a wave of killing moves from Yu Wenyong, but in fact, many well-intentioned people know that Yang Jian and Yang Quan brothers were quite dirty when they were young, and they have always been at odds, but in recent years, as Yang Cheng has reached middle age, he has become more and more mature, and his temperament has converged a lot, and he no longer pinched his brother in front of others.

However, it seems that Yang Cheng is still unwilling to admit defeat, but he has just learned to keep Taoguang and raise obscurity, this time he has the right time to top the cylinder for Yang Jian, it seems that he will die for a lifetime, but in fact, there must be a big opportunity with a big risk, once he succeeds in defending Pingyang City, whether it is an official position or a title, he will inevitably be promoted, and he will be on a par with Yang Jian, or even surpassed.

At that time, with Yang Quan's identity as the son-in-law of the Yang family, with the support of Yu Wenyong, it is enough to start the battle with Yang Jian again for the head of the Yang family, and there is a great chance to squeeze Yang Jian, who is very suspicious of Yu Wenyong, out of the position of head of the family.

On the contrary, Yang Jian was worried that his brother took the initiative to top the tank for himself this time, not only could he not fall into the ground, but he also had to find ways to help his brother save his life in the cruel attack and defense of Pingyang City in the future.

Otherwise, Yang Jian will inevitably fall into the eyes of everyone with an image of repaying virtue with grievances and being mean and unkind, which will be greatly detrimental to what he plans in the future. After all, if he can't even tolerate his own brothers who are willing to die for him, who else can he tolerate?

And this point just fell into Yang Quan's urn again!

"From this point of view, Yang Cheng is stoic, resolute and ambitious, but he is also the number one person!" (To be continued.) )
