In the small town. Zhe Yuxun seemed to be unaware of the danger and was educating his son. In the temporary tent in the city gate building. Zhe Yuxun and his son Zhe Weichang were sitting opposite each other, both wearing casual clothes, playing chess together. Zhe Yuxun holds white, Zhe Weichang holds black.
"Bata~" Zhe Yuxun's first son fell down and ate the second son of Zhe Weichang with murderous intent. While picking up the chess pieces, he asked: "Sanlang, my father is asking you, what will happen if Li Jiqian can't attack this place for a long time?" Zhe Weichang was just about to make a move when he heard his father's question. He pondered for a moment and said, "Li Jiqian is a human being." He is a cunning master who only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses.
Now they have been fighting here for half a month, but they have not achieved any success, and they have not gained any advantage by invading Linzhou territory. The kid thought he would plan a big conspiracy against us. Zhe Yuxun nodded and said, "Then guess what the conspiracy is?" Zhe Weichang frowned and guessed patiently. After a while, he murmured in a low voice. "Li Jiqian will definitely refuse to retreat... and he can't do anything to us..."
Zhe Weichang suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "He may jump over the wall in a hurry, and he is very likely to jump to Fuzhou and attack our base camp." Zhe Yuxun nodded with satisfaction and praised. "Not bad, he still has some wisdom."
At this moment, a spy entered the city gate building and reported in a deep voice: "Report to Commander Zhe, the enemy is gathering troops. Judging from the scale, the number should be around 50,000. The intention is unknown." Zhe Yuxun said. Waving his hand, he said: "You go down first." Zhe Yuxun looked calm and calm, but Zhe Weichang was anxious. "Dad, are they really going to attack Fuzhou? You should think of a way quickly. Once they enter Fuzhou, it will be over."
"Hahaha..." Zhe Yuxun laughed loudly and said: "Dad has been friends with the Dangxiang people for half his life, and he knows the Dangxiang people better than you. Once the Dangxiang people enter Fuzhou, then my family's century-old family business will be lost. But it will be destroyed in one day." Zhe Weichang shouted anxiously: "Then why don't you think of a way quickly?"
Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "No rush, no rush..." "Why don't you be in a hurry! My ancestors and sisters are all at home." Zhe Weichang could not wait to get his wings and fly back to Fuzhou now. Zhe Yuxun squinted his eyes and said cheerfully: "You brat, you underestimate my father too much, right? Since my father has decided to fight with Li Jiqian, then all that has to be settled has been over."
Zhe Yuxun no longer whetted his son's appetite, he told the whole story of his plan, "Before I sent out the army, my father was on guard against Li Jiqian jumping over the wall in a hurry. At the intersection of Fuzhou, Linzhou and Dangxiang. Dalang had already led a group of people. Tens of thousands of family troops and 20,000 rural soldiers were waiting for them.
In terms of bravery, the big man is not as good as the second man. But in terms of his ability to defend the city and defend the land, Dalang is the leader in our family. Although I despise Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao's ability to defend the village is second to none. Dalang learned half of his skills from Yang Yanzhao. In addition, I also arranged a surprise army.
Hehehehe... As long as this strange army seizes the right opportunity, it will definitely give Li Jiqian a big surprise. "Zhe Weichang was surprised and happy when he heard this. With his eldest brother Zhe Weichang taking action, he could not say that he would defeat the foreign enemies who invaded Fuzhou. At least he could ensure that the enemies could not advance even an inch. He scratched his head and wondered what his father's surprise army was.
After guessing for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what this cavalry was, so he decisively asked Zhe Yuxun. "Dad, what exactly is this strange army you deployed?" Zhe Yuxun said mysteriously: "It's almost time, it's just this day. You will know..." As the saying goes, curiosity kills. Cat, it was because of Zhe Yuxun's words that Zhe Weichang was distracted all day long. …
Not to mention Zhe Weichang, who was scratching his head in the small town. Speaking of Li Deming alone, after gathering 50,000 cavalry, he attacked Fuzhou in a mighty manner. At the junction of Fuzhou, Fengzhou and Dangxiang. There is a place they must pass through called Yama Ridge. The terrain of Yama Mountain is special and is very suitable for ambushes. After Li Deming arrived with his troops, he dove in without thinking. Li Deming didn't think there was an ambush here.
The Dangxiang cavalry's surprise attack on Fuzhou was just a temporary move. He didn't think anyone could even figure out a last-minute idea. On the Yama Ridge. Next to a huge strange stone, Zhi Weizheng, who was tall and dressed in Confucian attire, saw the enemy troops rushing into the Yama Ridge without even exploring, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
"In the past, people always said that I was rigid and stupid, but today I met someone even more stupid." After leaving these words, he never looked at the battle situation again and let his personal followers who had been following him accompany him. We went down to Yamawang Ridge together. He felt that there was nothing good to see. He spent a full fifteen days, using 30,000 soldiers, 20,000 civilians, and 50,000 people to set up traps in the Yama Ridge day and night, turning the Yama Ridge into a gate of hell.
If this could still allow someone to break through the Yama Mountains and enter Fuzhou, then he might as well crash to death. The fighting in Yan Wangling lasted for five hours. In the end, only 3,000 people escorted Li Deming to escape from inside. After they escaped from Yama Mountain, they did not dare to look back and kept running towards Li Jiqian's camp. However, Zhe Weizheng, the chief officer of Yan Wangling, had no intention of pursuing him.
Because he's not good at it. He is a cautious person and never touches the areas he is not good at. This is related to the master Yang Ye who once taught the art of war. The Yang family's art of war mainly lies in the two words "fire" and "mountain". The word "volcano" in the Volcano Army comes from the Yang family's art of war. This 'fire' talks about aggression like fire, which is unstoppable.
This 'mountain' refers to being as immovable as a mountain and as solid as a rock. Hearing his daughter's hoarse cries, Li Jiqian's head buzzed loudly. Being able to force his daughter to come from Dangxiang's ancestral land to report the news means that something happened in Dangxiang's ancestral land. Li Jiqian dropped the whip in his hand, walked tremblingly in front of his daughter, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother Qi, what happened?"
Brother Li Qi burst into tears and said: "Three days ago, ten thousand Zhe family troops, led by Zhe Weixin, made a surprise attack on Eagle Fort. They took away all the cattle, sheep and horses of our tribe. Even those that could not be taken away, they all They killed them." Li Jiqian's eyes widened and his whole body began to stiffen. After a while, he roared a desperate sound. "Zhe Yuxun, you are so cruel." "Pfft~" Immediately, Li Jiqian spat out a mouthful of blood, fell straight to the ground and fainted.
"Father..." "My Lord..."
Li Deming and a group of leaders quickly rushed forward, lifted Li Jiqian, and sent him into the Chinese army's tent. The witch doctor accompanying the army was replaced. The witch doctor worked for a long time, bleeding Li Jiqian and treating him, but he still didn't wake up. In the big tent, all the leaders looked at Li Deming subconsciously. Li Deming knelt in front of Li Jiqian's bed and cried in a low voice: "Retreat the troops..." The leaders quickly exited the tent one by one as if they had been granted amnesty. They were eager to return home, and they wanted to go quickly to see if their tribe had suffered.
Inside the big tent. Li Deming held the hand of the unconscious Li Jiqian and whispered with tears in his eyes: "Father, at this point, we can only return the party items to quickly recover the losses. The clansmen have already lost their cattle, sheep and horses. If they are lost again to others, The tribe has robbed our pasture, and I'm afraid the tribesmen will also vote for others.
Don't worry, father, the children will definitely remember the grudge the Zhe family has given our Li family. Sooner or later, the child will make the family pay the price. "At the end of the sentence, Li Deming's face became ferocious and filled with hatred. ...
On the city wall of the small town. The spies of the Zhe family army entered the city gate building with cheerful faces and reported excitedly: "Commander Zhe, Li Jiqian has withdrawn his troops." Zhe Yuxun stood in front of a newly drawn map with his hands behind his back. The map includes the five counties of Fuzhou, Linzhou and Yinzhou. From now on, these places will be the Zhejia's territory.
The Zhe family's territory suddenly expanded nearly twice. After hearing the spies' report, Zhe Yuxun smiled knowingly and said: "It's as expected. As soon as Li Jiqian retreats, we have to quickly restore Linzhou's vitality. After successive battles, Linzhou has also been tortured. It doesn’t look like that anymore.” Zhe Weichang shouted in surprise: “Li Jiqian really retreated?”
He couldn't wait to get to Zhe Yuxun's side and asked eagerly: "Dad, please tell me, what clever trick did you use to force Li Jiqian to retreat?" Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "Brilliant trick? It’s not a clever plan. My father just asked Erlang to lead 10,000 troops and go to Dangxiang’s ancestral land when he was confronting Li Jiqian.”
Zhe Weichang was shocked and said: "Dad, you are really planning everything. I believe that my second brother will gain a lot in Dangxiang's ancestral land." Zhe Yuxun laughed loudly and said: "From now on, Linzhou belongs to our Zhe family. According to my order, all the soldiers participating in the war will be promoted to one level. At the same time, they will receive three months more pay as a reward.
The five counties of Linzhou, Fuzhou and Yinzhou were ordered to select fine decorations and expand them into the army. The number of my family's army has increased from 60,000 to 100,000. "At this time, there were many generals who had joined the army in the city gate building. After hearing Zhe Yuxun's order, they were all very happy. Whether it was an official promotion to one level or an army expansion of 40,000, it was all important to them. A great thing. This means that their room for improvement will become greater, and their official positions and salaries will also rise with the tide.
On the contrary, they did not value the extra three months' salary reward so much. After everything was settled, Zhe Yuxun looked in the direction of Fengzhou and said with emotion: "I don't know what the situation of that boy Yang Dezheng is at the moment?"...
Zhe Yuxun's worries are justified. Yang Dezheng's life is not easy at all. At this moment, he and his men were being chased like rats crossing the street. Yang Dezheng was forced to lead a thousand troops under his command, eating and sleeping in the open air every day and hiding in various places. In the mountain forest located more than 200 miles away from Fengzhou City, Yang Dezheng, like quails, led his soldiers of the Renaissance Army to hide quietly in a ravine.
After several days of running away, Yang Dezheng looked particularly embarrassed. At this moment, he was lying on a big rock with disheveled hair and no image, breathing heavily. "Huhuhu~" Beside him, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army also formed a circle without any appearance. Fan Long was the only one, as if nothing was wrong, holding his own King Yu in his arms, leaning against the stone wall, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Yang Dezheng looked up to the sky and sighed, "What are you talking about? A group of heartless people went out to mess around. When they were done, they patted their butts and ran away. I was left here to suffer for them." Fan Long didn't even raise his eyelids. , opened his mouth lightly, and spit out a word. "Should."
The Fuxing Army soldiers lying next to Yang Dezheng seemed to find this incident very funny, and they all laughed heartily. Yang Dezheng sat up angrily and cursed: "Don't laugh, you heartless people. In order to save you, I suffered such a big crime, and you still laugh."
"Hahaha..." Having been with Yang Dezheng for a long time, these soldiers of the Renaissance Army had somewhat sensed some of Yang Dezheng's temper. So when Yang Dezheng was angry, instead of being scared, they laughed even louder. They all knew in their hearts that Yang Dezheng was just annoyed now, not really angry.
Fan Long opened his eyes, looked at Yang Qi, and said coldly: "If you had asked everyone to evacuate to Daizhou, there wouldn't have been so many things. It's because of your own lack of heart and greed for Fengzhou that you ended up where you are today. , You deserve it." Fan Long is straightforward, but that doesn't mean he is stupid. These days, he has been with Yang Dezheng for a long time, and he has more or less figured out some of Yang Dezheng's thoughts.
Yang Dezheng was angrily preparing to retort, when Fan Long said again: "It was you who dispersed them and sent them out, and it was you who gave them the order to try their best to harass the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe. Now They did what you asked, so what do you have to complain about?" Yang Dezheng retorted angrily: "I gave the order, but are they too unscrupulous? They are all so bold and do whatever they want. They Why do you have so much brains? You don't want to waste the good cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, but they go out to capture the thieves first and capture the king first.
It took him three days to sneak into Fengzhou City and kill the young son of a wild beggar. This made people angry. People are also eyeing me. An army of 60,000 people did nothing but came to arrest me all over the mountains and plains. I didn't do anything, why should I take the blame for them? "In fact, Yang Dezheng's anger is justified.
Yang Dezheng divided the Fuxing Army into a hundred groups and asked them to fight independently to wear down the power of the Yeqi tribe. Who knew that these guys under my command would be so bold that they would neglect their business? When my head got hot, I went to play with my little son who was begging in the wild.
And it actually worked. Then, as soon as the other brigades heard about this, they began to follow suit and torment Ye Qiganbo. In the end, Yeqi Ganbo was not killed, but more than 600 people were killed by Yeqi Ganbo. If Yang Dezheng hadn't discovered the matter, he quickly issued an order to stop it.
I'm afraid more people will fall in. Of course, he was annoyed, but Yang Dezheng was actually quite excited. He didn't expect that he could achieve so many results by completely releasing the military law constraints on the Fuxing Army and letting them do whatever they wanted. According to the information Yang Dezheng received, the current result of the battle was not just the killing of Yeqi Ganbo's youngest son.
In addition, the sneak attacks by the Renaissance Army squads also caused considerable harm to the Yeqi tribe's cavalry. So far, nearly 10,000 Yeqi tribe cavalry have been killed directly and indirectly. Of course, Yang Dezheng also knew that at the beginning, the Yeqi tribe was unprepared, and only by being attacked by them could they achieve significant results.
Going forward, as the Yeqi tribe's defense gradually strengthens, their sneak attacks will become much more difficult. After the Yeqi tribe lost a young master and more than 10,000 cavalry. The furious Yeqi Ganbo also seemed to want to try the method of catching the thief first and the king first. Therefore, when he found out about Yang Dezheng's whereabouts, he dispatched 40,000 cavalry from the Yeqi tribe and 20,000 local soldiers from Fengzhou to encircle and suppress Yang Dezheng.
After handing over troops and horses at the junction of Fengzhou and Daizhou, Yang Dezheng, who had just entered Fengzhou and was preparing to cause trouble, was surrounded and suppressed by the army before he started to cause trouble. Yang Dezheng could only hide in Tibet with his Fuxing Army soldiers. Yang Dezheng feels a little aggrieved every time he thinks of himself becoming the scapegoat. "No, we must find a way to reverse the current decline."
Yang Dezheng sat up straight and said solemnly. Hearing this, Fan Long narrowed his eyes and asked: "Are you ready to reverse the current decline?" Yang Dezheng pondered: "What do you think of the night raid? Pick a dark and windy night."
Fan Long frowned and said, "What kind of surprise attack?" Yang Dezheng said, "There are two groups of soldiers who are encircling and suppressing us. Do you think it is possible to set up a game and let them kill each other?" Fan Long shook his head and said: " This is very difficult. And the party’s cavalry, unless there are special circumstances, will not move at all after night. They seem to be afraid of sneak attacks, so they become very cautious after nightfall."
Yang Dezheng said cheerfully: "You also said that they will not move unless there are special circumstances. Then let's find a way to create some special circumstances for them?" Fan Long was a little moved when he heard this, and asked : "Tell me what you think." Yang Dezheng said with a smile: "They have been chasing us for so long, and we have figured out their way of advancing. So, what I mean is, pick a month when the weather is dark and the wind is high. At night. You lead a group of troops, and I will lead a group of troops. We will launch a surprise attack on their infantry and cavalry respectively.
Then, he led them by the nose and spun them around, making them faint. When the time comes, we will lead them to one place and we will quietly start a fight. Then retreat quickly. By the time they reacted, the cavalry had probably already charged and killed them. "Most of the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe are light cavalry and are very mobile. Therefore, the tactics mentioned by Yang Dezheng are indeed true.
Fan Long stayed with Yang Dezheng for just a few days, and he began to think according to Yang Dezheng's thinking model under Yang Dezheng's inspiration. Although he has never learned any art of war, he is good at retreating into battle situations. He deduced Yang Dezheng's statement and felt that it was extremely feasible. "Then try it."
Fan Long doesn't like being chased either. After the two people hit it off, they got together and started discussing the specific details. …
Just when Yang Dezheng and Fan Long started to conspire. Guo Da, who was far away on the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou, also began to plan his own conspiracy. Although Guo Da is a Han, his military tent is full of strong Liao style. Guo Da has been ambushing on the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou for nearly ten days. During this period, he had been detecting the military situation in Fengzhou.
In Guo Da's tent, there was a huge animal skin map. The directions of various places on the map were described in great detail. It took more than ten days for Guo Da to almost understand the deployment of troops in Fengzhou. When the Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng began to sneak attack the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, the entire battle in Fengzhou fell into a stalemate. Almost all the troops in Fengzhou were restrained by the Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng.
This allowed Guo Da to see an opportunity. "Capture Fengzhou and recruit the Renaissance Army." Guo Da saw the opportunity and made such an assertion. What Guo Da is most worried about now is not whether he can win Fengzhou. What he was most worried about was how to hold Fengzhou after taking it. According to the information he received, around Fengzhou, in addition to the 60,000 cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, there were also 100,000 cavalry from Li Jiqian at the junction of Fengzhou, Linzhou and Dangxiang. If he takes Fengzhou and Li Jiqian gives up attacking Linzhou and attacks Fengzhou instead, he may not be Li Jiqian's opponent.
When the time comes, it will be a waste of money. As for the 20,000 Datong troops and the 10,000 forbidden troops hoarded near the junction of Fengzhou, Shengzhou and Daizhou, Guo Da was not worried. Because he knew it very well.
According to the current military regulations of the Song Dynasty, border generals are not allowed to attack without permission from the court and can only defend passively. Once you attack without authorization, the liability is quite serious. "General." A messenger entered Guo Da's tent, holding a letter in both hands. "General, this is the battle report from Linzhou you want." When he heard that it was the battle report from Linzhou, Guo Da quickly waved his hand and said, "Send it over quickly." Guo Da took the battle report from the messenger and carefully After watching it for a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. "Hahaha...God is really helping me..."
Throughout Yang Yanzhao's military life, these two words cannot be escaped. When he invaded, Yang Yanzhao would always use the fewest troops to quickly expand the maximum results. When he was defending the city, he became a hard bone that no one could chew. When Zhe Wei was young, the Zhe and Yang families exchanged children to learn each other's military skills and learn from each other's strengths. Of course, it also means showing closeness.
This was a common thing in ancient times. It is also the only way to break the sectarian views. It's just that Oriyoshi just learned the word "山". The relationship between the Zheyang family broke down. He was also sent home. It's funny to say that the Zhe family sent their eldest son to the Yang family, but the Yang family sent Yang Si instead of Yang Da. This is why Yang Si seems to be a bit smarter among the Yang family brothers.
Because he is the director of both companies. Zhe Wei had been preparing for the battle at Yanwangling for fifteen days, but it ended in five hours. He didn't want to see the scene in the Shura field inside, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to bury the enemy's corpse hastily. …
Li Jiqian moved to the camp. Li Deming suffered a heavy loss and returned in defeat. After he dragged his injured body into the military camp, everyone was stunned. Li Jiqian, who came after hearing the news, felt his heart lurch when he saw Li Deming for the first time. "You... where are the soldiers and horses under your command?"
Li Jiqian asked this sentence with a trembling heart. Li Deming burst into tears and cried: "It's all gone..." "You traitor!" Li Jiqian shouted loudly and almost fainted. If his own soldiers had quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have fallen to the ground. Li Jiqian, who barely stood still, picked up the whip and whipped Li Deming hard.
"Boom~" Just as Li Jiqian was teaching his son, a burst of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the military camp. A single rider broke into the camp. The person riding the horse was a woman. She jumped off the horse, stumbled to Li Jiqian, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Father, something happened..."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
