After listening to the system's test on the second son of the Yang family, Yang Gao quickly exited the system, helped up Yang Ye at the front, and said with a smile: "Old General, please get up quickly, as well as the two General Yangs, all of them are My people, the court is at the moment when it is recruiting people, so I am very pleased to have a few of you to help me! Especially General Yang, I have heard of your name since I was a child. You have a golden sword to guard Yanmen Pass, and there are not only a few prairie Hulu I will die under your golden sword!"
After hearing Yang Gao's praise, Yang Ye touched his beard proudly. The years he spent in Yanmen Pass were indeed the most glorious times in his life.
Yang Gao sighed and continued: "It's a pity that the father was not aware of it for a while, listened to the treacherous words, and dismissed the old general from his official position. However, the old general not only did not resent the father, but instead let Yan Zhao do it when the father was in the most difficult time. General and General Yansi came to help, I feel like I owe the old general so much!"
Yang Ye hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, but the humble minister is frightened."
Yang Gaoqing coughed and said in a deep voice: "Old General Yang Ye, you are loyal to the country and brave. I will make you the king of Zhenshan, equal to the king of backing Yang Lin. I hope you will use your golden sword to guard our Sui Dynasty. The foundation lasts for generations to come.”
Hearing this, Yang Lin couldn't help but burst into tears. He beat his chest with his hands and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I will protect the country of the Sui Dynasty even if I am broken into pieces!"
Yang Gao nodded with a smile, encouraged Yang Yanping, Yang Yande, Lin Chong, Hua Rong and others, and rewarded Yang Yanping and Yang Yande with the rank of fifth-rank Zuotunwei Zhonglang General.
Yang Gao rested for a night in Pingyu County, then led his entire army of 80,000 men eastward to Ruyin, directly taking Zhu Wen's camp in Xiangling.
. . . . . . . . . .
At the same time, Sui Army General Xue Rengui handed over the defense of Huainan County to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. Because they were unwilling to fight to the death with the original Wagang brothers on the battlefield, Yang Gao sent them to Huainan succeeded Xue Rengui and protected his retreat.
Xue Rengui personally led an army of 50,000 people from Huainan County. They were unstoppable along the way until Qixian County when they encountered the Wagang Army led by Fang La, Du Fuwei and others.
In the commander's tent, Xue Rengui was sitting upright, with five or six generals standing under the tent, including Lu Heng, his first martial arts prospect, and his clan brother Lu Da, Lu Da's friend Shi Jin, and Xue Rengui's recent talents in Huainan, Zhou Dewei and Lu Xiangsheng.
"General, Fang La and Du Fuwei were the generals who were defeated by us in Jiangnan back then. Why should we be afraid?"
Lu Heng had a carefree personality. Hearing that the garrison in Qixian City was Fang La and Du Fuwei who defeated Jiangnan, he disdainfully asked Xue Rengui for a battle and said: "The general is willing to lead a group of elite troops to Qixian County to call for battle. Fang La and Du Fuwei will definitely be killed and their spirits will fly to pieces."
"Lu Heng is brave if he is brave, but it is a pity that he is brave but has no plan. I am afraid he will stop here in his life."
Xue Rengui lamented helplessly in his heart. On the surface, he remained calm and turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng, who was the most resourceful among the generals.
"General Lu, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"
Lu Xiangsheng, who had a delicate face and a three-inch beard on his chin, frowned and thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "General, the last general has thought of a strategy, maybe he can capture Qixian County."
Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he heard this and asked urgently: "General Lu, if you have any clever ideas, tell me quickly."
Lu Xiangsheng said calmly: "General, I think that Fang La and Du Fuwei in the city are rebels who were defeated by us and driven out of Jiangnan. Their hatred of our army is far greater than that of other Wagang rebels. Now Although they were reused by Li Mi, they still had no merit to the Wagang Army. They must be eager to prove themselves in their hearts, and the general thought that with just this, Qixian County could be easily obtained."
After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's plan, Xue Rengui nodded and praised: "General Lu's plan is very clever, so he will act according to what General Lu said."
. . . . . . . . . .
In the Qixian city, Fang La, Du Fuwei, Fang Jie, and Sixingfang were discussing how to defend the city. All four of them had fled back from the south of the Yangtze River and joined Li Mi. Li Mi saw that all of them had some merits, so he put them to good use.
In order to resist the Sui army, several people worked together and strengthened the city defenses day and night, training their troops and horses, vowing to defeat the Sui army and avenge their previous humiliation.
On this day, the four people who were still studying how to strengthen the city defense suddenly received a report from the city defense captain that there was a Sui army calling for formation below the city.
"Sui Gou came at the right time, just in time to let them taste my Fang Tian Painted Halberd!" Fang Jie was the first to stand up after hearing this, and said loudly with fighting spirit.
Fang La was a calm man. He ignored Fang Jie's invitation to fight, but asked the city defense captain: "Who is the Sui general who came to call for battle? How many soldiers and horses came?"
"Back to the general, the general who came here calls himself Lu Heng. He has about three thousand soldiers and horses!"
Fang La frowned when he heard this, "Lu Heng, I heard that this person is the top scorer in Jiangdu's imperial examination and his martial arts is pretty good. But what can he do with only three thousand men and horses? Is there some treacherous plot? I think it's better to defend the city. wonderful!"
Du Fuwei raised objections, "General Fang's words are wrong. The Sui army only has three thousand people, so our army will stay behind closed doors. This is a huge blow to the morale of our army. In my opinion, Lu Heng only Bringing three thousand people to challenge, it is clear that the Sui army is arrogant and arrogant, and they look down on the defeated generals like us."
Fang Jie was extremely eager to go to war. After hearing Du Fuwei's words, he immediately agreed, "Father, what General Du said is absolutely true. The Sui army has won many battles in recent years and has become a proud army. This time it is just right for us to kill Their elan.”
Si Xingfang, who was silent at first, also expressed his position: "My lord, I also agree with General Du Fuwei's view. Although our status in the Wagang Army is not low, we have not made any achievements. If we face three thousand Sui troops, we will have to fight." If you stay behind closed doors, you will easily get into trouble."
Seeing that the three of them had chosen to fight, Fang La no longer insisted. He nodded and said, "Okay, we were all expelled from Jiangnan by the Sui army to the Central Plains. Since the Sui army is looking for death regardless of life and death, it's just right." Let’s avenge our shame.”
At that moment, the four of them gathered an army of 30,000 men and marched out of the city in a mighty manner, preparing to annihilate Lu Heng's 3,000 Sui troops in one fell swoop to avenge their hatred for the past.
Lu Heng, who was yelling at the city, saw a large number of rebels coming out of the city. He was secretly happy. On the surface, he rode forward calmly. He pointed his iron sword forward and said, "Listen to the rebels on the opposite side." , I am Lu Heng, a general under General Xue Rengui, and I have been ordered to attack Qixian County. If you are wise, please dismount and surrender now. I can also say a few kind words for you in front of General Xue Rengui and spare your lives. Hahaha!"
