The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 306

Yu Wenhuaji's soldiers recovered from their panic, saw Yang Yong's soldiers approaching, and rushed to fight, but after Yu Wencheng's death, these soldiers became distracted, so they were killed as soon as they came into contact with Yu Wenhuaji's soldiers. Killed and defeated, defeated.

Yuwen Zhiji saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly protected the distraught Yu Wenhuaji and retreated while fighting. He retreated dozens of miles in one breath, and retreated into Licheng City.

Yang Yong's army has been chasing and killing all the way to the city, and the battle is not over.Yang Yong ordered people to clean up the battlefield and deal with the post-war affairs, and the statistics were soon reported: this battle wiped out more than [-] people from Yu Wenhuaji, and Yang Yong's men only paid a small price and captured The enemy has nearly ten thousand horses, and the obtained swords, spears, equipment, food and grass are piled up like mountains, and there are thousands of horses, which greatly boosts the army's prestige.

Yang Yong was very satisfied, and commanded the army to surround Licheng, but he did not rush to attack the city, and ordered the army to set up camp.Then let the two military divisions and Li Mi reward according to their merits, rectify the soldiers and horses, treat the wounded, hand over the spoils and food to General Qu Tugai for registration and safekeeping, and so on.

After arranging these things, it was late in the evening. Yang Yong returned to his camp with three beautiful bodyguards to rest. Yang Yong had just sat down when a travel-worn commander ran in and knelt down to report: "Report to the lord that Tongguan has fallen. , General Gongye was captured, and his life and death are unknown."

"What?" These two words were like a bolt from the blue, Yang Yong jumped up on the chair, and the three beauties were also surprised, Yang Yong grabbed the commander and said, "What do you want to say?"

The commander repeated it again, and took out a letter from his body and handed it to Yang Yong: "Yang Yong took the letter impatiently. On the cover was only written the words "Passed by Yang Yong", and there was nothing else. He opened it." At first glance, there are only two short sentences: You are limited to rush to Tongguan within ten days, otherwise, you will wait to collect the body of your good brother Gongye Chang. The signature has the date, month, and date, but there is no signature.

Yang Yong looked at the date and there are still eight days left. This is Licheng, Shandong, and it is not even two thousand miles away from Tongguan, Shaanxi. It is measured with the meat of a horse, and the road at that time is not the same as the road in the 21st century. The time is too tight.

Yang Yong's head was buzzing, and his face was sweating. He asked the reporter: "Where did the letter come from, and what happened? How did Tongguan lose it? captured? Who did this?"

Gong Yechang and Yang Yong are close friends, they are brothers and sisters, closer than brothers, suddenly hearing this sad news, Yang Yong can't get it.Yang Yong asked several questions in one breath, almost roaring.

The commander hurriedly replied: "My lord, please tell me, five days ago, a team of about [-] people came from outside Tongguan City. The marshal and the military adviser are both women. The marshal's name is Li Xiuning..."

Yang Yong was surprised when he heard the name, Li Xiuning?Li Yuan's daughter, Iron Lady?She came here to seek revenge from Lao Tzu, so Li Yuan is going to use troops against Lao Tzu?Li Yuan and his children are my real opponents!
But they only came with [-] troops and let Li Xiuning be the commander. So what are Li Yuan and his son doing?One hundred thousand troops are not enough to fear.The terrain of Tongguan is dangerous, Brother Gongye is brave and resourceful, and he still has [-] elite soldiers under him. If Brother Gongye sticks to his position and does not fight, the [-] troops who want to open Tongguan will have a great potential.But Li Xiuning is a girl, I know her ability, how did she take down Guancheng, and how did she capture Big Brother Gongye alive?Could it be that she has a helper, her military adviser is also a woman, who is this?

At this time, the commander continued to say, "Li Xiuning took the imperial decree and claimed to be the Generalissimo of Rebellion..."

"Wait." Hearing this, Yang Yong interrupted the commander again, "Didn't the faint king Yang Guang be killed by Yu Wenhuaji? His son Yuande Prince Yang Zhao was killed by Wang Shichong. Both father and son are finished. Where did the imperial decree come from? Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor?"

Li Jing said: "My lord, I never heard that Li Yuan became emperor. Although Yang Guang and Yang Zhao are dead, he still has heirs. This is Chen Wang Yang You. His territory is in Shanxi. After Yang Guang and Yang Zhao died, Li Yuan and Chai Shen and a group of former ministers supported and promoted Yang You, who was under ten years old, as Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Yong suddenly realized, yes, yes, there is such a thing in history, "Understood, Li Yuan wants to imitate Cao Aman back then, coercing the emperor to command the princes." Looking at the commander, "Okay, continue talking .”

The commander saluted and said: "It's the prince. At the beginning, General Gongye insisted not to fight and sent someone to report to the prince. Unexpectedly, they caught the messenger. The last female military division was captured before Wuhe, just like that, Tongguan fell, they did not kill the villain, but sent the villain to deliver the letter."

"What's the last name of the female military commander?" Yang Yong asked in surprise.The martial arts of a woman who can capture Big Brother Gongye alive within five rounds is too great. None of her three beautiful wives can do it, and neither can her strong lady Li Xiuning.

"Back to the lord, the villain doesn't know about it, I only know that this is a mysterious woman who usually wears a bamboo hat and a light veil to cover her face, so she doesn't show her true face to others.

After hearing this, Yang Yong forced himself to calm down and sent the commander down to rest.

Luo Shiying was puzzled and said: "My lord, who is Li Xiuning? What kind of hatred does she have with my lord?"

When Yang Yong hesitated, Li Wan'er spoke quickly: "Sister, don't ask, the hatred between men and women is nothing more than romantic debts?"

Princess Yujing interjected: "Then what about this mysterious female military adviser? Is she also with the prince..." Princess Yujing blushed and did not continue.

"Then who knows, only the lord knows it!" Li Wan'er pursed her lips and answered in a long voice.

Yang Yong really couldn't think of who it was, but he didn't have the time or thought to think about it. What was burning in his heart was the safety of Mr. Gongye, so he put on a tiger face and said to Li Wan'er: "Stop talking, Wan'er, go get me Father-in-law, please come."

"My father-in-law? Who is it?" Wan'er didn't understand.

"Oh, in dialect, Laozhangren means think tank, go and invite the military advisers Li Jing, Xu Maogong and Li Mi. Go!" Yang Yong is not in the mood to ask her about this now.

Not long, Li Wan'er came back, followed by Li Jing, Xu Maogong and Li Mi, the three think tanks came to Yang Yong, and bowed to salute.Yang Yong waved his hand, asked them to sit down without courtesy, and told what happened just now. The three of them were astonished. Yang Yong also let them read the letter, and finally the letter returned to Yang Yong's hands.

Yang Yong put away the letter and asked the three people for advice, but the three think tanks were silent.

After a while, Li Jing spoke first: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan sent Li Xiuning to attack Tongguan first. I am afraid that those who come are not good, and those who are kind will not come. We must send troops to Tongguan to eradicate this cancer, otherwise, Tongguan is too important. This is the gateway to the three places. Leaving aside the safety of General Gongye, they took advantage of us to fight with Yuwen and his son, and the interior was empty. They could use Tongguan as a stronghold to threaten Daxing to the west, and take Hangu and Shanzhou to the east to threaten Daxing. Luoyang, if Li Yuan sends an army south again, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Maogong said: "My lord, the pharmacist's words are reasonable. However, my subordinates feel that this matter is a bit strange. After Li Xiuning's soldiers and horses occupied Tongguan, they were not in a hurry to go west or east, but stayed in Tongguan and did not move. Let someone send a letter to the prince, and wait for him in Tongguan for ten days. Li Xiuning doesn't seem to be here for the territory, but seems to be setting up a trap to seek revenge, or it may be waiting for a fighter. We need to keep an eye on Li Yuan in Taiyuan .”

Yang Yong nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said: "This king decided to draw some soldiers and horses, and the military advisor Li Jing returned to Tongguan as soon as possible. After this king left, military division Xu will be the main force here, with brother Li Mi assisting, and we will continue to attack Yu Wenhua. And the use of troops. But we must beware of Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses, the king will go through Luoyang and deploy them again."

The three think tanks saluted and nodded, and Xu Maogong said: "My lord, just bring more elite soldiers and generals, and you can rest assured about the affairs here. In addition, Li Yang's troops need to be strengthened. This place is close to the Yellow River, and his subordinates will be able to resist King Xia in the north." , Li Yuan was rejected in the west. Xuan Sui (Li Mi's character) is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and has great resourcefulness, so he is qualified for this job."

Yang Yong looked at Li Mi with a smile and said, "I wonder if Brother Li is willing to take this seriously?"

Li Mi hurriedly got up and saluted: "Li is willing to do the best work for the prince, go through fire and water, and do whatever it takes." Li Mi made a vow on the surface, but his heart moved, he was unwilling to be under others, but he planned his own plan in his heart!
