The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 89

(Thanks to user Sky Lone Wolf for the reward) It was time for the morning court again, when all the civil and military officials had finished their pilgrimage, Li Yuan knelt down and kowtowed, asking to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate on the grounds of his poor health.

Yang Guang was happy when he heard this, but he was worried that there was no excuse, so he pretended to be reluctant to part with him and said, "Aiqing leaves the court, and there is one less pillar. How can I bear it? Naiqing is not in good health, and I can't persuade you to stay. How about it, Xingyang, Henan There is a vacancy, Qing can serve as the prefect for the time being, and when he is healthy, he can go to Beijing to serve."

"Observe the order." Upon hearing this, Li Yuan hurriedly thanked him, and said to himself, I don't care if the prefect is not too guarded, it's okay to let me be a commoner, as long as I leave the capital, I can save the lives of the whole family, and being with you is like being with a tiger!Leaving the capital is like a bird entering the deep forest, a fish diving into the sea, and I will not come back.

After the imperial court disbanded, Li Yuan did not dare to delay for a moment, armed with his eldest son Li Jiancheng and daughter Li Xiuning, under the watchful eyes of Yang Guang, Yu Wenhuaji, etc., they left Daxing and went to Henan to take office with the protection of more than 200 family members.

Knowing that Li Yuan did not go to Yang Yong but rushed to Henan according to the order, the stone hanging in Yang Guang's heart fell.

Among the high-ranking officials surnamed Li who were punished, there was another person who made Yang Guang feel bad, and that was Pu Shan Gong Li Mi, the current military adviser of the rebellion army, and Yang Gan's expedition to Nanyang, and he was not in the capital.

Yang Guang knew that this man was resourceful and good at using troops, and his military achievements were outstanding.But the more such a person is, the more he feels that the things in his dreams may come true in the future and take away his power.After discussing with Yu Wenhuaji, he first secretly put his family under house arrest, and waited for him to move back to Beijing before settling accounts.

This tossing lasted for more than a month. After the high-ranking officials surnamed Li in Beijing were eliminated, Yang Guang let out a sigh of relief and suddenly thought about Yang Yong. After returning in defeat, almost the entire army of 15 soldiers was wiped out.Yang Yong has occupied the entire territory of Gansu, and currently has more than 10,000 strong soldiers, and tens of thousands of Tugu horse bandits to help, [-]+ soldiers arrived in Pingyang, approaching Shaanxi.

Yang Guang was stunned when he heard this, and instantly seemed to be taken out of his nerves...

****
When Yang Yong learned that the emperor sent 15 soldiers to conquer him, and the leading generals were Yang Yichen and Lai Huer, he was not frightened, but very excited, especially when he heard that the general Huer was coming, Yang Yong felt a sense of revenge. impulse.

But one hundred thousand Tugu soldiers crossed Ganshui and arrived in Jingzhou. This news surprised Yang Yong.

Yang Yong couldn't help thinking of Prince Lu Ke and Princess Yujing, these two saved his life, and of course, he also rescued their brothers and sisters from danger.They must have sent troops to attack the Sui Dynasty. I remember that the former brother and sister asked Yang Guang to discuss the transfer of [-] aboriginal people, but Yang Guang refused, and they were chased and killed along the way. This time it must be revenge.However, it is also okay to take revenge and attack other places, Jingzhou is now Lao Tzu's territory, don't you know, how can this work?Then he ordered the account to be raised to discuss the matter.

With the sound of the generals' drum, the Chinese military officer took the roster and finished counting. Yang Yong sat down in the middle, and all the generals of the battalion lined up on the hatchback.Now Yang Yong has [-] soldiers and horses under him, and there are nearly a hundred generals who are above a thousand commanders alone, and there are two long rows on both sides of the camp.

Yang Yong looked at the huge lineup to the left and right, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. A month ago, he was almost like a bare-handed commander, with only one commander Gongye by his side. Later, Xiao Du Yi stood out, without a single soldier.Later, when he was the King of the Mountain in Gaolan Mountain, he had [-] soldiers under his command, and now he has [-] soldiers. This family fortune is hard-won!

The battle ahead was tight, and Yang Yong didn't have time to get more out of it. After reporting the information he got to the generals, he then promoted democracy to solicit everyone's opinions.

Xue Ju's prestige in the army was second only to Yang Yong's. As soon as Yang Yong's words fell, all the generals looked at Xue's father and son in unison.

Xue Ju did his part and said, "My lord, don't panic. At the beginning, we were no more than a thousand, and the generals were no more than a few members. The Niushan Five Route Army surrounded and wiped us out. We were defeated in the end? Take the three counties every day, and kill tens of thousands of Sui soldiers and Sui generals so that they throw away their helmets and armor and flee. Now we have 25 people, which can be said to be a strong army. Why are you? The last general is not talented, and I am willing to divide and attack him!"

After Yang Yong listened, he frowned slightly and nodded, without speaking, he continued to look at the other generals.

Chief Gongye came out to salute: "My lord, just now General Xue was justified. It's just that this time the foolish king has invested a lot of money. 15 troops are nothing to be afraid of, but the two generals should not be underestimated. My lord should know Yang Yichen, right?" He used to be the governor of Shanzhou. He was brave and resourceful. He was very handsome. We have fought against him. The combination of these two people came to attack us. They are really not good people. We should not underestimate the enemy. In addition, there are [-] grain-thumbing soldiers on the west road. The Yi people are tough and good at riding and shooting. Our shortcomings, so we should not take it lightly, there is a saying that a proud soldier must be defeated."

Yang Yong couldn't stop nodding after listening. Before Yang Yong could express his opinion, Xue Renyue turned his lips away from Li Shili and said, "My lord, why do you need to build up the vigor of others and destroy your own prestige! What Yang Yichen, come to protect your son, what kind of horse thief who spit grains, They are nothing but bird droppings! The last generals are not talented, and they are willing to take the lead. My father is right, we will split them up and beat them all, turning them all into "flat-topped waiters"! These two groups of people are the three of us. Packed..."

Xue Renyue shook his head, swaggered, spouted foam from his mouth, and wanted to continue talking. Xue Ju coughed lightly twice, and stared at his son fiercely.

Yang Yong saw it, and thought that Xue Renyue was good at everything, but he had a violent temper and was extremely arrogant. He was completely different from those two men. This kind of general will not end well after all.

After hearing this, Yang Yong smiled calmly: "General Xue is courageous, heroic, and brave. Since we are facing the enemy on both sides, we will split the attack. Senior Xue led the two brothers Renguo and Renyue to lead an army of [-] , sent troops to Dingnan to fight against Yang Yichen's troops; because I had acquaintance with the prince and princess of Tuyuhun, I led an army of [-] troops to Jingzhou to negotiate with Tugu soldiers, and tried to turn hostility into friendship. See you. Brothers, do you have any questions?"

Xue Ju came out for the second time and saluted: "My lord, the Tugu horse thief is tough. There is a gust of wind coming and going. He is very powerful and has always been capricious. Once the soldiers meet, isn't the lord's 3 horses too small? The last general is [-] The army is enough, my lord should lead an army of [-] to march westward to resist the bandits and do good."

"Senior Xue, stop arguing. Yang Yichen and Lai Hu'er are indeed not idle people. They still have 15 tiger and wolf troops under their command. Although Senior Xue uses soldiers like gods, he still has to be cautious..."

The two made some concessions. In the end, Xue Ju left his second son with Yang Yong, but Yang Yong refused. General, [-] troops came to Jingzhou in mighty force.

Xue Ju took his eldest sons Xue Renguo, Wu Shouren, Yan Xingben, Jiang Da, Li Rang and other generals, and went to Dingnan with [-] soldiers.

Yang Yong's army was halfway there when news came that Jingzhou had fallen.Yang Yong was startled when he heard that, it seems that Tuyuhun is going to come for real.If they really want to attack the city and plunder the land, we really have to fight each other, even if I have friendship with that brother and sister. For the sake of the common people, we have to put public affairs before private affairs.

Yang Yong took out the military map and saw that Jingzhou was the boundary of Yanzhou. The distance between the two cities was less than [-] miles, and Tongzhou was after Yanzhou.There must be no accidents in Yanzhou, otherwise, our trip will be in vain.

Rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire. Thinking of this, Yang Yong hurriedly sent an order to speed up the march.At the same time, he picked out [-] cavalry, and personally led the flying horses to Yanzhou for support. The remaining large troops were led by Chang Gongye, and then followed up.

Chief Gongye wanted to ask for an order to lead the cavalry to go there, but Yang Yong disagreed, so he asked Du Yi to follow him and lead [-] cavalry to Yanzhou like a whirlwind.

Yanzhou is a county in the west of Tongzhou. It is guarded by Zhang Jiyao, a general of the Sui Dynasty. There are five thousand soldiers and horses in the city.When Yang Yong arrived, it was evening and the sun was setting.The red sun secretly hid in the clouds, and the western sky was as magnificent as it had been dyed.

Yang Yong was exhausted and had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, so he ordered people to call the city.When Zhang Jiyao saw that the lord had come in person, he had the backbone in his heart. He opened the north gate and brought Yang Yong and other two thousand cavalry into the city.

At this time, Tugu's cavalry vanguard battalion has more than [-] people, and they are fighting outside the south city.Zhang Jiyao knew that the Tugu horse bandits were strong and good at fighting, and Jingzhou, which was impregnable with ten thousand soldiers, could not defend it. How could he resist with five thousand troops?Therefore, he retreated without fighting, and stood by for help.

After asking about the situation and resting for a while, Xue Renyue asked to go to battle. Yang Yong was worried and ordered Zhang Jiyao to guard the city.Zhang Jiyao just led his soldiers to the gate of the city to watch the battle.

When the two armies confronted each other, Yang Yong saw that the Tugu cavalry was different from his rebels and Sui soldiers, not only in their clothing, but also in their weapons. Whether they were soldiers or generals, they all had dual weapons, with bows and arrows on their backs. , the hand is either a saber or a spear or a crescent knife, majestic and murderous.

Yang Yong was scanning the opposite side with his eyes, he wanted to see if there were any brothers and sisters of the Lu family, at this time the general who was scolding the other side pointed his spear in his hand, and shouted strangely: "Nanman, which one is here to die? Wow Yay..."

Both Xue Renyue and Du Yi were vying for orders, Yang Yong waved his hands and said, "Don't be in a hurry, brothers, it's better to give courtesy first and then soldiers. Let Commander-in-Chief answer him." As he spoke, he rushed to the front of the battle without taking off his gun. , clasped his fists and said: "The general on the opposite side, my servant Yang Yong, who is your general? Ask him to come and answer."

"I don't care who you are, but you still want our commander? If you win the spear in my hand, our commander will naturally come over and look at the spear!" prick.

Yang Yong steered his horse and dodged over, but did not return the call: "What's your name, are brothers and sisters Lu Ke and Yu Jing in the army?"

The general was furious: "Shut up! Those who have sore teeth and bad breath, dare to mention our Shaohan and the princess's name, I, Uri Tokin, will send you to heaven!" As he spoke, he stabbed him in the chest again with a spear.
