"The soldiers and horses of the Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang?"
I heard what Luo Fang reported.
Yang Lin couldn't help but feel interested.
turn out to be.
The Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang were both big families in Hebei.
The Cui family of Qinghe originated from Cuiye in the Western Han Dynasty. They were named because their family settled in Dongwucheng County, Qinghe County. By the time of the chaos in the north and south, they were already one of the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" and were famous for a while.
The Fanyang Lu family, like the Qinghe Cui family, also settled in Zhuoxian County during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Because Fanyang County was established during the Cao Wei Dynasty and Zhuo County belonged to it, later generations were called "Fanyang Lu family".
"In that case, please invite them to come in and talk!"
Thinking of their backgrounds,
Yang Lin nodded slightly.
Immediately, he ordered Luo Fangdao.
"yes!"
Luo Fang bowed slightly and walked out of the tent.
Soon.
But I heard footsteps coming from far and near from outside the tent.
Immediately afterwards.
Luo Fang led the two of them into the Chinese army's tent.
I saw someone entering the account.
Yang Lin subconsciously raised his eyes to watch.
At this sight, he was surprised.
The people who came in behind Luo Fang were not the handsome young men from aristocratic families as Yang Lin had imagined, but two sturdy men -
But it is said that there is a man on the left, nine feet tall, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, a red face and sword eyebrows, as tall as a pine tree, with five willow thin beards flowing on his chest.
The person on the right hand is over ten feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a black face and a thick beard, wide-open eyes, and piercing energy. His movements are full of strength.
The two walked to Yang Lin, turned over and knelt down together, and said: "The last general Cui Yue (Lu Jian) pays homage to the patron king!"
"Two generals, please wake up quickly!"
Yang Lin stroked his long beard and nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Cui Yue and Lu Jian heard this, they bowed their hands to express gratitude, then immediately stood up and stood with their hands down.
"Are you all direct descendants of aristocratic families?"
Yang Lin looked at the two people and asked with interest.
"Exactly, the last general is from the Xuzhou branch of the Cui family in Qinghe. My father is Cui Zijin, the chief administrator of Xuzhou."
I heard Yang Linxiang ask.
The black-faced Cui Yue with thick beard replied.
"The last general is from the Dafang lineage, the northern ancestor of the Lu family in Fanyang. My father, Lu Sidao, once served as the prefect of Wuyang County and the minister of Sanqi."
Wait until Cui Yue finishes speaking.
The red-faced and long-bearded Lu Jian on the side also raised his hands and said.
"The names of Cui Zijin and Lu Zixing have also been heard by the Gu family. Unexpectedly, after being famous, they abandoned literature and joined the martial arts. It's quite interesting!"
Yang Lin heard this, nodded, and said to the two of them with a smile.
"Alas! Your Majesty, your Majesty... Brother Lu and I have known each other since we were young. We have studied literature and martial arts together. We originally planned to inherit our ancestors' ambition and serve as officials in the court. However, in recent years, there have been frequent military disasters. We have no intention of studying, so we can only recruit The rebel army forms a stronghold to defend itself and protect one side's safety."
After hearing Yang Lin's words, Cui Yue sighed and said immediately.
"It's actually pretty good to be able to protect one side's safety... How many soldiers and horses did you bring with you this time?"
Yang Lin nodded, with a look of approval in his eyes, and asked.
"Brother Cui and I each brought a thousand horses here to follow the prince, destroy the bandits, and get rid of the traitors!"
Lu Jian answered directly.
"Hahahaha! Okay! Let's destroy the bandits and get rid of the evildoers! In this case, the two of you will serve in the Gu family's central army, commanding the troops and horses of the headquarters, and ready to be called upon at any time, how about it?"
Yang Lin was very happy when he heard this, couldn't help laughing, and then said.
Say it.
He sent a message to Luo Fang and Xue Liang, asking them to arrange camps for Cui Yue and Lu Jian's troops. He did not mention this matter for the time being.
…
soon.
Two days passed.
Cui Yue and Lu Jian are already familiar with many generals.
The training of soldiers and horses from all walks of life is also on the right track.
At this moment.
Outside the camp, an envoy from Ji Hao's army came.
"Listen, you soldiers! A certain family is Liu Cheng, the silver spear general under the command of the King of Han. Quickly inform the patron king that a war report has arrived!"
This envoy is majestic, wearing a silver helmet and plain armor, and holding a spear. He is none other than the Silver Spear General Liu Cheng, the master of the Iron Hands who followed Liu Tianxiao from the south of the Yangtze River.
It is said that this Liu Tianxiao was originally the descendant of Liu Yuan, Emperor Guangwen of the Xiongnu. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. When he was young, he inherited the inheritance of the fierce general Duan Wenyang. His spear was so powerful that he was almost invincible, so he was known as the "Invincible General with the Golden Spear".
Later, he met Yuan Buji by chance and joined the Iron Hand Regiment. He made countless meritorious deeds and became the leader of Xuangui Hall, taking charge of many affairs in the Jiangnan area.
In Xuangui Hall, in addition to his outstanding abilities and martial arts skills, he also has four very powerful lieutenants under his command.
These four people are-Golden Sword General Zhang Chong, Silver Spear General Liu Cheng, Bronze Hammer General Li Du, and Iron Rod General Sun Sheng.
And this time, the brave generals who followed Liu Tianxiao north to support Dou Jiande were these four right-hand men.
Back to the present.
I heard that there was an enemy envoy outside the camp asking to see him.
Yang Lin immediately ordered Luo Fang to bring Liu Cheng in.
Not long after.
Liu Cheng came to the Chinese army tent.
He slightly arched his hands, saluted, and then took out a letter of challenge written by Ji Hao himself.
"The decisive battle in five days? Huh! Okay! Then the decisive battle in five days!"
Accept the challenge.
Yang Lin looked through it carefully.
Then, he raised his head, looked at Liu Cheng, and said slowly.
"In this case, I will retire!"
Liu Cheng cupped his hands and said.
"Go!"
Yang Lin waved his hand, and Luo Fang and Xue Liang on the side understood and immediately sent Liu Cheng out of the camp.

After Liu Cheng leaves.
Yang Lin said: "I think the enemy army relies on the help of that fierce general, so it is preparing for a decisive battle with our army... The Gu family is planning to mobilize Xue Shixiong from Zhuo County to help. Is it possible?"
Hearing this, Lai Hu'er thought for a moment and said: "Xue Shixiong's soldiers and horses have just experienced the battle of Daxing Mountain. I'm afraid they are quite tired and cannot go on an expedition... I have a formation here that I think can defeat the enemy."
"What formation is it?" Yang Lin asked.
Lai Hu'er said: "It's a long snake formation, its shape is like a snake in Changshan. If you hit the head, the tail will come, if you hit the tail, the head will come, if you hit the middle, the head and tail will come... Now our army has many soldiers, and the enemy The young soldier can use this formation to break it!"
Hearing this, Yang Lin nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense... This long snake formation can indeed strangle the enemy. In the past few days, you have been training your troops and horses. At the same time, send out scouts during the day to check the enemy's movements at any time!"
"yes!"
After listening to Yang Lin's words, many generals handed over their hands and took the order to leave.
…
Since then.
The Sui army and Ji Hao's troops actively prepared for war.
In this Sui army camp, they practiced the Long Snake Formation every day, preparing to set up their formation for a decisive battle with Ji Hao's army in five days.
As for Ji Hao's camp, drums were beating all day long, and countless flags could be seen fluttering and flying in the wind during the day.
After learning about this.
Yang Lin smiled slightly and said to the generals: "The thieves sharpened their guns before the battle and tried to boost the morale of the soldiers by beating drums. It's really ridiculous! Hahahaha..."
Such situations.
This is the first day...
The next day was like this...
The same goes for the third and fourth days...
Until the fifth day.
The scout came back to report that the enemy in the camp
The sound of the drum gradually became fainter.
Hearing this, Yang Lin said to the generals: "The so-called strong momentum will weaken again, and it will be exhausted after three days... Now, after five consecutive days of training, the enemy's morale has been exhausted, and our army is just in time to attack!"
Say it.
He passed down the general's order and asked Lai Hu'er and Cao Yanshou to lead the troops, set up a long snake formation, and beat drums to let the enemy troops come out of the camp to fight.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Accompanied by intensive drum beats.
The Sui army quickly completed their formation.
But.
Everyone has been waiting for a long time.
In Ji Haojun's camp, there was no movement at all.
See this situation.
An ominous premonition arose in Yang Lin's heart.
He gently waved his hand and asked two eunuchs, Ma Zhan and Ding Liang, to lead 500 cavalrymen and approach Ji Hao's barracks to check the situation.
The two eunuchs received the order and immediately came to the enemy camp cautiously.
However, until this moment, there was no movement outside the enemy camp. Upon seeing this, the two men immediately pushed open the fence and walked straight into the enemy camp.
However, once entering the enemy camp.
Ding Liang and Ma Zhan, the two eunuchs, were dumbfounded.
turn out to be.
Except for the flags and flags fluttering in the air, there was no one in the camp!
Among the many war drums in the camp, there was a sheep hanging upside down on each drum. The sheep's two front hooves were on the drum surface. It subconsciously struggled hard and kicked randomly until the drums rumbled.
Thinking about it, Ji Hao and others used the cover of drums to quietly withdraw their troops in batches.
Seeing such a situation, the two of them did not dare to make any decisions, so they could only go back and report to Yang Lin.
"The thieves are so cunning that they kill an isolated family out of anger!"
After listening to Ding Liang and Ma Zhan's words of return.
Yang Lin was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently, and smoke filled their seven orifices.
present.
He no longer set up a long snake formation, but ordered the entire army to attack and pursue the enemy to the north.
It won't take long to catch up.
The soldiers and horses just arrived outside a mountain pass.
Yang Lin raised his eyes and saw the faint flags of the rebel army waving in the dense forest at the mountain pass.
"The enemy troops are over there, follow me and kill the thieves!"
Say it.
Yang Lin hurriedly urged the war horse, holding the prison dragon stick, and ran straight into the mountain pass.
However.
At this moment.
Only the sound of a cannon was heard behind the mountain.
Then the sound of killing shook the sky.
Among the shadows of the trees on both sides of the mountain pass, two flags suddenly rose, and then two groups of soldiers and horses rushed out, directly cutting off the Sui army's retreat.
