The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 86
"My lord, victory or defeat is a common thing in military strategists, how can you commit suicide?" The generals were frightened, and quickly hugged him, hugging his waist, grabbing his sword.

After a long time, he finally persuaded the bull governor.

Tongzhou Chengyi Zhang Binglin saluted and said: "Master Inspector, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. Although we have lost this battle, we can go to Huzhou and let Huzhou Inspector send troops. We will make a comeback and regain Tongzhou. Ping Yang Yong and Xue's father and son."

Niu Shan saw that he was talking nonsense in front of him again, and thought that if you hadn't paid me all the attention, would Tongzhou be lost?Can this governor have the fiasco of this life?The more Niu Shan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directed all his anger on Zhang Binglin. When he had just finished speaking, Niu Shan pulled out his sword and knocked Zhang Binglin down in a pool of blood, cursing: "You man, if you weren't bad After the important event of the assassination history, how can there be today's defeat?!"

The generals were too frightened to speak, after killing Zhang Binglin, Niu Shan calmed down and thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth and took the defeated generals to the Turks.

After the battle, regardless of fatigue, Yang Yong personally commanded the soldiers to bandage the wounds of the wounded brothers, clean the battlefield, bury the corpses, and bury his brothers generously.Then according to the method created by myself, the captives were scattered on the spot, those who were willing to hang out with themselves stayed, those who did not want to join the rebel army would never force them, they were dismissed and returned home on the spot, but they were not allowed to re-enter the Sui camp, otherwise they would be arrested and killed Not forgiving.

Give an order, none of the more than 2000 soldiers is willing to leave, and they are all willing to follow their county guard Luo Fang to follow Yang Yong to the death.

Yang Yong didn't expect that he was so courageous, so of course he was happy. When he left the city, there were 2000 soldiers, plus Xue Renguo's [-] cavalry and Luo Fang's more than [-] subordinates. Excluding those who died in battle, there were more than [-] soldiers. After some work, they carried the wounded number and returned to Jincheng in a mighty way.

When he got close to Jincheng, Xue Renguo saw that the walls surrounding Jincheng were covered with a layer of ice, and he couldn't understand why.When Du Yi told him the mystery, Xue Renguo was very surprised. It seems that Yang Yong's martial arts and martial arts are not inferior to my father.

As soon as Yang Yong's soldiers arrived at the city gate, the city gate opened wide, and countless soldiers rushed out from inside. Yang Yong was taken aback when he saw it.

The soldiers who came out of the city gate were led by the commander guarding the south gate, and they knelt down from a long distance away. It turned out that they had come to greet him.

What surprised and moved Yang Yong even more was that there were many ordinary people behind these soldiers. Regardless of their thin clothes and severe cold weather, these men, women and children also went out of the city to greet them.

Seeing this kind of scene, Yang Yong couldn't sit still on his horse anymore. He jumped off his horse and led the horse. Gongye Chang, Du Yi, Xue Renguo, etc., all the soldiers on horseback also got off their horses, followed by those infantrymen. Like a pawn, he followed Yang Yong and entered the city on foot.

After returning to the city, the first thing Yang Yong did was to order his subordinates to double the compensation for the losses of the common people, and let General Gongye take charge of this matter personally.

Knowing that Xue's father and son had captured Tongzhou, Yang Yong was very happy. Just as he was about to send an order to the three armies to rest and recuperate, and when he was about to congratulate him, the general Luo Fang saluted and said: "My lord is benevolent, and the last general has a lot of Sifang counties." The subordinates, the general is willing to persuade them to give up Sifang County with their three-inch tongue."

Yang Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and decided to send troops to Sifang Commandery with Luo Fang on the spot, Xue Renguo saluted: "My lord is the head of the family, and I must be exhausted from the battles for several days. I will not be able to do so in the end, I would like to take a trip for my lord. "

To be honest, Yang Yong was really exhausted. He had been fighting for the past few days, especially last night when he rested for less than four hours, but he laughed when he heard this: "Brother Xue, you are more tired than me, Yang Yong. , I was just defending the city with my brothers, and your father and son were fighting again, and traveled hundreds of miles, without rest overnight. I thank you for your kindness. I have made up my mind on this matter. You and Brother Gongye stay here. Guarding the city, resting the troops, appeasing the people, I will take Du Yi and General Luo for a trip, at least two days, at most three to five days, and then we will move to Tongzhou to join Senior Xue."

"Obey." Xue Renguo bowed and saluted. He was full of admiration for Yang Yong's pro-government and caring for the people, but he only admired half of it, and a little bit of jealousy and worry rose deep in his heart.

After Yang Yong had used the battle meal, he did not stop, took Du Yi and Luo Fang, and led [-] troops out of the east gate to Sifang County in the northeast.

In the evening, Yang Yong and the others came near the west gate of Sifang County.

To be on the safe side, the three agreed that Yang Yong would lead [-] soldiers and horses to wait for news in the woods more than a dozen miles away from the city. Advanced city lobbying.

Yang Yong thought it was feasible, so he hid the two thousand soldiers in the small woods.But waiting is always a torment. Time flies very slowly, and there is still no news until sunset.In fact, Yang Yong waited for less than half an hour, but Yang Yong felt that it was as long as half a century.

Yang Yong thought about the worst. Could it be that something unexpected happened in the city?Or Luo Fang didn't really surrender himself and made up a trick for himself, so wouldn't Brother Du Yi die in vain?Oh, although Du Yi is clever, he is a child after all, how can I let him take risks?Yang Yong regretted it too much, so he ordered: "Gather your troops and kill them in Sifang County!"

As soon as they came out of the grove, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. Yang Yong was startled and stood up on his horse to watch. A group of people came from a distance, about a hundred people, led by Luo Fang in the middle, and Du on the left. Yi, Yang Yong doesn't know the general on the right, this general is called Cai Huan, he is the confidant general of Luo Fang's subordinates, it seems that this means that he has gone out of the city for more than ten miles to meet him, Yang Yong didn't expect it at all.

It turned out that Luo Fang, the governor of Sifang County, and Cai Huan, his county lieutenant, were rare and upright officials in the Sui Dynasty. The two scoffed at the scandal of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, and hated Yang Guang's perverse actions and the excessive expropriation of local officials. The two spoke lightly, and they could only open one eye and close the other.

A few days ago, they heard that Yang Yong, the abandoned prince of the former dynasty, was chased and killed by the emperor to Tongzhou. Horse thief, I want to fight the faint king to the end.

The two only expressed sympathy in their hearts, but they didn't take it seriously.The reason is that Yang Yong's notoriety is not favored by the two of them. Of course, it is the old Yang Yong. They also know that Yang Yong is ignorant, dissolute, and lives a luxurious life, so that he became a commoner from a prince and almost lost his life.It is impossible for such a down-and-out king and grandson to make any great achievements, at most it is nothing more than grandstanding.

After receiving the order from the governor of Tongzhou to send troops, Luo Fang did not dare to delay, but only brought [-] soldiers and horses out to deal with the mission, and asked Cai Huan to lead [-] troops to guard Sifang County.

Halfway through the march, many fleeing civilians flocked to Jincheng, which aroused his suspicion. He thought, Jincheng is at war, and these refugees are not afraid of death?Then he ordered people to inquire, and these people came back and told him that the common people praised Yang Yong, who loved the people like a son, and generously donated money. The county opened warehouses to release grain to help the people.

Luo Fang didn't believe that Yang Yong could do such a good deed, but the investigators all said so when they came back, and he personally arrested a few old people and questioned them, with the same caliber.Now Luo Fang believed him, and found a fundamental change in his view of Yang Yong, so he basically stayed put for the past two days, and waited for the other troops to approach before slowly heading towards Jincheng.

Through these two days of fighting, Luo Fang gained a deeper understanding of Yang Yong and his rebel army. Especially in the battle in the south of the city, Yang Yong took the lead, winning more with less, and his attitude towards prisoners and the way he treated casualties. He was deeply moved, thinking that Yang Yong is a wise and enlightened master, so he led the crowd to sincerely surrender.

After Luo Fang and Du Yi entered the city, General Cai Huan took him into the city. Luo Fang first introduced Du Yi, and then in front of Du Yi, he reported what he had seen and heard in the past few days, as well as the common people's feelings towards Yang Yong. He talked about all the evaluations, and advised him to support Yang Yong and join the volunteer army.

Cai Huan answered without hesitation after hearing this, and Luo Fang and Du Yi were overjoyed, and they went out of the city to greet them with people beating gongs and drums.

When Cai Huan saw Yang Yong, he quickly dismounted from his horse and knelt down to salute: "The villain Cai Huan is late to welcome the lord, he deserves death!"

Yang Yong hurriedly got off his horse and helped him up: "The general is a hero who abandons the dark and turns to the light. What is the crime? The general's righteousness saved the people from the suffering of swords and soldiers. What a great contribution!"

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, and then they took Yang Yong into the city like a crowd holding the moon, and set up a banquet. During the banquet, Yang Yong asked about Yongdu County and Baiyin County, Luo Fang and Cai Huan looked at each other. He nodded and saluted Yang Yong: "My lord, the two princess generals are dead, the city is empty and the people are in panic, and the two counties are not more than sixty miles away from Sifang County, so it is better to take it overnight, and the general is willing to lead the troops there. "

Yang Yong was overjoyed. After eating hastily, he left [-] soldiers and horses to guard Sifang County, asked Luo Fang and Du Yi to lead [-] troops to capture Yongdu, and he led Cai Huan to lead [-] troops to capture Baiyin.

They arrived within an hour of tens of miles away. When the guard of Baiyin County heard that Yang Yong's soldiers and horses had been killed overnight, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled.The situation in Yongdu is similar to that of Baiyin. When Luo Fang and Du Yi were killed, it was an empty city. In this way, Yang Yong's soldiers and horses won two more counties without bloodshed.

After resting in the city for a day, Yang Yong moved to Tongzhou.Xue Ju went out of the city to welcome them. So far, all the five counties in Tongzhou have been occupied by the rebels. The total strength of the captured prisoners and ordinary people who have accepted to join the army has reached [-].

On the one hand, Yang Yong continued to open warehouses to release grain in Tongzhou, on the other hand, he rewarded the three armies, and congratulated them for three days.

Three days later, Yang Yong and Xue's father and son raised troops to the north, and quickly wiped out Huzhou and occupied Dingzhou with a devastating momentum.Within a month, most of Gansu was occupied.During this period, with the collection of captives and the acceptance of people who signed up to join the army, Yang Yong's elite soldiers and strong generals quickly broke through [-] people.

Yang Yong was full of enthusiasm, stepped up his military training, and planned to send his troops eastward, attack Shaanxi, take Shanzhou and Daxing City, and the world will be settled.

On this day, Tan Ma came to report that Yang Guang worshiped General Yang Yichen as his commander, and his 15 troops had arrived in Dingnan.

As soon as Yang Yong heard that Hu'er was coming, he immediately stood up: "On my first day, this bastard appeared again, this time I will take revenge! Come here, call all the generals to discuss matters!"

Before Yang Yong finished his sentence, another blue flag official ran in and knelt down on one leg: "Report! Please report to my lord that the Tugu horse bandits have invaded the country on a large scale. One hundred thousand soldiers have crossed Ganshui to the east, and the soldiers have arrived. Jingzhou, please make a quick decision."

After hearing this, Yang Yong was stunned!
