Northern Territory.
The 800 fine cavalry led by Yang Guo have left the fighting zone between the two sides. They began to attack deeper into the grassland. Along the way, Yang Guo annihilated five more Mongolian Rangers, which also made Yang Guo even more confused.
Obviously the east is the main battle area between the two sides, so the presence of so many rangers in the west is obviously abnormal.
Daqian's cavalry attack tactics are already very proficient, and its coach is a famous general of Daqian, Liang Wang Chahan Timur. With his ability, it is impossible for him to make such a meaningless action.
Daqian will definitely take action in the west! What's on the west side? !
After careful analysis through the map, Yang Guo deduced two possibilities:
First, Daqian wanted to bypass Qin Yiyan's defense through a large detour and attack the left wing of Tiance's army.
This is the most likely reason at present. The large roundabout strategy is also one of the commonly used tactics in Mongolia. It is reasonable for Chahan Timur to want to use this strategy to deal with Tiance's military approach.
Of course, in Yang Guo's view, the effect of this strategy is not significant. Li Chengen was a famous general in the world, and on his flanks were not only Qin Yiyan's men, but also many cavalry teams.
If Yuan Meng's large group of troops approaches, they will be discovered. It would be difficult to attack Tiance's army by taking a detour.
The second is what Daqian thinks about Cangyunguan.
Cangyun Pass is the main entrance to the pass. If Cangyun Pass can be breached, then Daqian can take the strategic initiative.
But Cangyun Pass is the most important pass in the world. One man can guard the pass and no one can open it. It also has powerful weapons such as Tianji and Xuanji crossbows to defend the city. If you want to storm Cangyun Pass, you need human lives to fill it. This is better than sneaking up on Tiance's army. The flanks are also nonsense.
But for the sake of caution, Yang Guo still informed Cangyun to close the door.
Yang Guo then called six cavalrymen and divided them into two teams, "You three will hand this information to the Chinese army camp immediately!"
"promise!"
"The three of you, hurry to Cangyun Pass immediately! Tell General Lin Wuya to be careful and guard against a sneak attack by the Daqian Army."
"promise!"
After sending the messenger, Yang Guo also breathed a sigh of relief.
The deputy on the side asked, "General Yang! What should we do now?!"
Yang Guo thought for a moment. Although the eight hundred cavalry under his command were elite, they had little impact on the battle situation. On the contrary, it would be more valuable to go deep behind the enemy lines and find out the enemy's movements.
A small group of cavalry, the combat unit is not large, and they are all good horses in the army. They are extremely mobile and can come and go like the wind!
Even if they are discovered deep behind enemy lines, they can still escape with Daqian's cavalry.
"I want to go deep into the grassland and see what Daqian's soldiers and horses are doing!"
"But attacking without permission without military orders is a violation of military law!" Yang Guo's deputy said worriedly.
The military order they received this time was only to patrol the flanks and guard against the enemy.
"Don't worry, Old Wang! I've thought about it a long time ago. How about we split the eight hundred cavalry in two? You lead five hundred people and continue to cruise on the left flank of the army to protect the central army! I will lead three Bai Jingqi continues to go deep into the grassland to see what these Yuan Meng people are doing!"
Yang Guo was parachuted into the Tiance Army with a document issued by his subordinates, and he entered the realm of Yuanhua at a young age. In addition to his outstanding military achievements, he was quite prestigious in the army.
Looking at the young man beside Yang Guo who was eager to try, Captain Wang knew that it was useless to persuade him!
"Then Vice General Yang, why don't you bring five hundred people? Three hundred people will be enough to patrol the flanks of the army!"
Yang Guo shook his head, "No need! The more people we have, the greater the target! I'm not going to attack the city! Once we find out the movements of the army! We will return immediately!"
After resting for half an hour, the eight hundred people divided into two groups and set off separately!
----------
Yang Qingyuan stayed in Yuezhou for three days and found that nothing happened without him!
Pursuing the Japanese pirates and exterminating the remnants was the job of General Yu Longyou; appeasing the people and repairing the county seat was the job of the Yuezhou governor.
Yang Qingyuan played with Wang Shouren for two days and then bid farewell to Wang Hua.
Wang Hua's child has been born, and he also needs to go to Yangzhou to take up his post.
It was not so urgent originally, but now that something like this happened, Wang Hua had to go to Yangzhou to deal with it immediately.
Previously, Wang Hua also expedited the report to the cabinet through Liubaili.
Colluding with Japanese pirates and attacking and killing court officials, these two things were separate and they were both serious crimes to prove the Yi clan. Now the two are put together, and it is a major case that shocked the government and the public!
Especially in such a world of high martial arts, the role of warriors is greater than imagined, which makes civil servants feel very insecure!
Especially three or four years ago, desperadoes often killed county magistrates and robbed jails.
Therefore, after the emperor came to power, not only did he not abolish the original four intelligence agencies, but he also added Shenhou Mansion and Xichang to strengthen the court's control over the world.
In recent years, Yang Qingyuan's crackdown on evil and evil in the capital has achieved certain results, which has improved public security in the capital and made people in the world see the court's determination.
But now something like this happened again, and the cabinet center was furious.
Who is Wang Hua? ! That was someone who was favored by the four bachelors and Emperor Zhou. Even political opponents recognized Wang Hua's talent.
Today, he dares to collude with Japanese pirates to assassinate the frontier officials of the fourth rank of the imperial court. Will he dare to seize the mountain and become the king tomorrow and raise an army to rebel? !
The cabinet reported to the Emperor of the Tomorrow that Li Xunhuan, the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was appointed as the imperial envoy. He was deposed as the envoy of Yangzhou and led the guardians of Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang of Longshan Villa. The Shenhou Mansion investigated the case cold-bloodedly and pursued orders, and granted Shang Fang. Horse-killing sword! Officials of seventh rank and below can be killed first and then reported!
Sending out four of the top masters in the Yuan Hua Realm in one go and ordering the six sects in Yangzhou to cooperate showed the determination of the court and the cabinet!
No one who dares to openly oppose the imperial court can escape!
The imperial envoy was coming. As the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Hua naturally had to go to his post immediately to deal with various affairs. He happened to be on the road with Yang Qingyuan who was setting off north!
"Brother Dehui, the water in Yangzhou City is not shallow and it's hard to control it!"
Wang Hua had a calm expression, "Brother Yang has already opened the game for me. It's such a good move for me to play, so naturally I have to be more cautious, but I can't live up to these great opening gifts!"
Under Wang Hua's plain face, there was burning anger in his heart.
Compared with Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, Wang Huacai is a gentle and humble gentleman in the strict sense.
But this is only on the surface. As one of the leaders of the first and third factions of Yong'an, Wang Hua's strong will and deep planning are not inferior to Yang Qingyuan's, and his political methods are even better.
The Three Heroes of Yongan are like dragons!
This time someone directly endangered his life, as well as the lives of his beloved wife and newborn child.
A humble gentleman also has the wrath of thunder!
Repay kindness with kindness and repay evil with kindness.
When Wang Hua came to Yangzhou, he wanted to catch all these moths and thieves in one fell swoop!
Gu Yao
Yang Qingyuan sent Wang Hua all the way to the governor's mansion, and then he felt relieved and left Yangzhou.
Originally, he could have stayed to help Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan, but now the first and third departments were robbed and it was at a low point.
Although the first and third lineages have been favored by the emperor in recent years, they also have many political enemies.
There are only so many positions in the court. If you take them, others will lose them! So Yang Qingyuan also had to be on guard.
Now that Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan are in charge of the case, if Bachelor Yang Qingyuan from the Wenhua Palace is also involved, the act of forming a clique seems too obvious.
Therefore, after ensuring Wang Hua's safety, Yang Qingyuan took Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin and continued northward!
Regarding matters in Yangzhou, Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan are enough.
This time he won't get involved!
---------------
The three of them took a boat all the way north along the canal!
In seven days, he arrived at Jiyang County from Yangzhou.
"Master, this canal is really convenient!"
Although Lin Xuemin doesn't like taking boats, she has to admit the convenience of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
"Yes! This Grand Canal is indeed beneficial to the present day and will serve the future!"
The Grand Canal starts from Yuhang in the south and reaches Yancheng in the north, passing through Yuezhou, Yangzhou, Qizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. It connects the water system and runs through the north and south. It not only enables the prosperity of agriculture and commerce along the coast, but also promotes the development of the north and south. comminicate.
"Looking at it this way, the former Sui Yang Emperor who dug the canal cannot be regarded as a foolish emperor!"
Zhou Zhiruo on the side was puzzled after hearing this, "Isn't the former Sui Yang Emperor the king of subjugation?! Why is he not stupid!?"
Yang Qingyuan did not refute directly, but just smiled and said, "Where did Minmin see this?!"
"I used to like to read some casual books at home, and I bought another miscellaneous book on the shore a few days ago!"
As she spoke, Lin Xuemin took out a book from the side and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the cover and the signature under it. All he could see was the signature, which said, "To put things right, I just hope that history will appear in the world!"
"What a loud tone!" Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle, flipping through a few pages and closing the book.
"Minmin! It's a good thing to be well-read and dare to question, but you must never listen to one thing or believe it. You can't see the mountain with a leaf."
"Master means that everything written in this book is nonsense!" Although Lin Xuemin is smart, she is only a young woman after all.
"It's not accurate to say nonsense. It should be said that it is a nonsense that is used to gain favor and attract people's attention!"
Seeing that his disciple was still confused, Yang Qingyuan knew that today he must teach her the way of a teacher and give her a good lesson.
"Do you think the canal along this road was dug by the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty?!"
"Isn't it?!" Lin Xuemin felt that her original knowledge system was about to be impacted.
"There are four sections of the canal dug by Emperor Yang, namely Tongji Canal, Han (hán) ditch, Yongji canal, and Jiangnan river. Among them, Tongji canal was dug as early as the pre-Qin period, and it was called Bian canal. In the later Han Dynasty, Yang Canal was dug, dredged and renovated. The Yang Canal was dredged by Emperor Yang. The Hangou was dug by King Wu Fucha in the pre-Qin Dynasty and connected the Dajiang River and the Huaihe River. Big river.”
Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin were fascinated by Yang Qingyuan's temporary small class.
"As for the Yongji Canal, which was dug by millions of people during Emperor Yang's expedition to Jizhou in the fourth year of the Great Cause, it diverted the Qinshui River to the south and connected to Yancheng in the north. It was also built on the basis of the predecessors. The last section of the Jiangnan River , and it was built by a series of people such as Wu Wang Fu Chai, the First Emperor of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and Soochow Wu of the Later Han Dynasty. What Emperor Yang did was just dredging it on this basis. It is indeed an exaggeration to attribute all the credit to Emperor Yang!"
"But isn't the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal also very useful?!"
Yang Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "Minmin is wrong again! The canal we are using now was dug again after Taizu of this dynasty founded the country. Luozhou River and Huitong River were dug successively to connect Jingu to Yangzhou. The channels of various natural lakes and rivers are at least thousands of miles shorter than the canals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The original river channels have almost been abandoned!"
Lin Xuemin felt that her outlook on life had been impacted.
"Furthermore, if Emperor Yang really wanted to connect the north and the south, he would be considered to have extraordinary courage, but he was more motivated by his own selfish interests. According to the "Book of Sui", after digging the canal, Emperor Yang ordered There were tens of thousands of dragon boats, tower boats and other types of boats. When they arrived at Jiangdu, they led between 100,000 and 200,000 kings, hundreds of officials, concubines, and maids. The fleet was more than 200 miles long, passing through prefectures and counties with a radius of We have to contribute food within five hundred miles, which makes people's livelihood miserable and makes the people miserable!"
Lin Xuemin wanted to say something else, so Yang Qingyuan continued to add, "This historical fact is not only recorded in the "Book of Sui Dynasty: The Chronicles of Emperor Yangdi", but also can be corroborated by the county annals of various states and counties and the written records of various families."
Moreover, the editor-in-chief of "Book of Sui" is Wei Baice, the former Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of character does this guy have? !
Before he died, he did not forget to compile the letters of advice he gave to Emperor Taizong Wen into a volume and gave it to the historians, hoping to pass it down to future generations. Emperor Wen was so angry that he pushed down his tombstone and it was not restored until several years later!
With such a character and conduct, he would not tamper with history books and deliberately discredit Yangdi.
Then Yang Qingyuan looked at the book he threw on the table.
"You must know that the reign of Emperor Wen was comparable to the reign of Wenjing in the early Han Dynasty. Such a strong family was completely destroyed by Emperor Yang in one day."
Even if a pig is only responsible for stamping the seal every day on the throne, the former Sui Dynasty will not die in the second generation.
"Those who want to overturn the verdict of the former Sui Yang Emperor must be either stupid or evil!"
Seeing the stunned expressions on Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin's faces, Yang Qingyuan was overjoyed. He is such a competent teacher!
Not long after Teacher Xiao Yang finished her class, the boat docked!
"Sir, Tai'an County is ahead!"
"Thank you boatman!"
Yang Qingyuan took his luggage and two apprentices and got off the ship.
"Master, are we going to Mount Tai?!"
Yang Qingyuan nodded. He wanted to visit the Five Mountains and create another sword technique based on the Five Mountains sword technique!
First go to Mount Tai, then go all the way west to visit Mount Song, climb Mount Hua, and finally go north to Mount Heng to see all the five mountains!
"Brother Qingyuan! We had an enmity with the Five Mountains Sword Sect at Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Banquet! Will the Taishan Sword Sect be displeased if we go to Mount Tai rashly like this!?"
Zhou Zhiruo's thinking dimension is still in the world of martial arts.
Yang Qingyuan didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry! I'm not sure about other places, but it's not the turn of a Taishan sect to call the shots in Taishan!"
Where is Mount Tai? !
It is the only place where the Five Sacred Mountains are honored and where emperors granted Zen status.
In ancient times, Emperor Huang once climbed Mount Tai, and Emperor Shun once patrolled Mount Tai.
Starting from the first emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Second Emperor, Emperor Wu of the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the later Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang of the later Han Dynasty, Emperor An, the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the former Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zhou, and the former Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty all went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices.
Do you, the Taishan sect, want to monopolize a place like this? ! Don’t you think that the sword of the imperial court is unfavorable? !
The three of them bought horses and headed towards Mount Tai.
