After about two hours, the war that took place to the north of Longshan City gradually subsided. The water flowing southward was dyed red with blood, and corpses were scattered all over the left and right banks of the water. The fragmented Khitan camp, which was the main battlefield, turned into a hell on earth. Almost every inch of the land was covered with broken limbs and corpses of men and horses. However, the Sui army and the Turkic army did not give up.
This miraculous victory aroused the morale of the soldiers to the peak, and the shouts and shouts of killing came one after another, deafening. Soldiers from both countries rushed to chase the Khitan troops and kill them.
However, in order to avoid accidentally hurting each other, the armies of the two countries have a tacit understanding of using the "Sui" banner and the white wolf-headed banner as the boundary. Both sides perform their respective duties. The "Liaodong Road Sui Army" headed by Yang Lun is responsible for pursuing the north. The Turkic soldiers pursued them to the west.
Neither the armies of the two countries wanted to miss such a good opportunity to weaken the enemy's vitality. If they did not kill all the defeated troops at this time, wouldn't it leave a legacy for subsequent operations?
Although there is a saying among military strategists, "Don't chase the enemy when you are in poverty", this is because they are worried that during the pursuit, our soldiers will be loose in formation and eager to achieve success, which will expose fatal flaws, making it easy for the enemy to counterattack and turn defeat into victory. But this situation no longer exists at all. After all, the Khitan army has been deployed in full force. There is no ambush at all, and the vast grassland is clearly visible. Even if there is an ambush, where can they hide?
In this pursuit, Yang Ji's personal soldiers and the Left Guards led by Da Xijing did not get involved; instead, they worked with the Yingzhou soldiers and the young and strong people sent from the levy to treat the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and arrest the Khitan prisoners. If the seriously injured person cannot survive, he will be given a stab wound.
The sound of fighting in the military camp had long gone, and Yang Ji, who was fine, stood on a watchtower in the front camp, holding on to the railing, and silently stared at the southwest corner.
In the southwest corner of the front camp is the wealthy Li Chongtun, but it has been razed to the ground by the Khitan dogs, and not even a village wall remains. At this moment, many prisoners who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered were digging holes with hoes, shovels, and shovels under the supervision of the left guard soldiers.
In order to survive, and I heard it was used to bury corpses, they worked hard digging and carrying the soil up in baskets and piling it all around.
Under the urging of the Sui army, a group of captives quickly dug a large and deep pit. Then they came up the steps, used carts to transport the corpses in the military camp, and threw them into the pit.
Yang Ji sneered and turned his gaze to the north. Presumably some of the defeated soldiers who had successfully escaped from the battlefield had already gone to Huanglong City, the Khitan Yazhang, to report the news. According to the speed, the news should reach Huanglong in at most two days.
He now hopes that Yang Lun will send good news as soon as possible. As long as they wipe out the tribes in front, they can divide their troops into two groups: attack Huanglong all the way, defeat the Khitan army in the Liao waterway, and welcome Li Zixiong into the Khitan realm. By then, there will be nearly 100,000 soldiers. The army was killing them back and forth, and this battle should be over.
Although the battle is about to be over, the score cannot be settled like this; after this battle, the Khitan has been weakened to the extreme. If the Sui Dynasty gave up and retreated, not to mention that the Khitan would have a chance to rise again; even if it did not, it would still defend If this very critical and very rich grassland cannot be occupied, rather than being occupied by the Nanshiwei, Xi tribe, Xi tribe, or Goguryeo, it is better to incorporate it into the territory of the Sui Dynasty as Yang Guang said.
With this lush grassland, the border line that Goguryeo needs to defend at least triples, and with this as an important town, when the Sui Dynasty expeditions to Goguryeo in the future, they can avoid the Liao River and go directly to the eastern part of the Liaohe Plain on land. In addition, it can also take advantage of the general trend to collapse the alliance of Goguryeo, Bodu Mohe, and Sumo Mohe, and relieve the pressure on Silla and Baekje.
Today, the three peninsula countries have all surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Let’s not talk about Goguryeo, which ranks first in strength and is hypocritical.
The second most powerful Silla sits on the Han River Basin and occupies the most fertile land on the peninsula. However, Silla is surrounded by Goguryeo to the north and Baekje to the west. The biggest drawback is that it cannot contact the Sui Dynasty. If you want to send envoys to the Great Sui Dynasty, In the Sui Dynasty, they either took the land route via Goguryeo, or they took the water route close to the sea south of Baekje.
In the past, when Baekje was strong, Silla was the younger brother of Goguryeo. When it visited the Central Plains, it went by land. Later, when it joined forces with Baekje, it went by sea. But now, Silla, who is like a wallflower, has offended both parties to death, so it came The road to the Central Plains was blocked.
Baekje, on the other hand, was first defeated by Goguryeo and later betrayed by Silla. It is the weakest, and it is also surrounded by enemies on both sides. The situation can be imagined. In order to deal with the threats from the two countries, Baekje has maintained close relations with all the regimes in the Southern and Northern Dynasties since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After the Sui Dynasty unified the world, both sides The relationship is even closer.
As early as the Kaihuang period, Baekje was determined to work with the Sui Dynasty to defeat Goguryeo. Yang Jian also hopes to use Baekje as an important chess piece to restore the Central Plains Dynasty's full influence on the Korean Peninsula. As a result, the two parties hit it off immediately and entered a "love period" with a high degree of cooperation.
If the two sides continue to maintain this relationship, the Sui navy in the future can land in Baekje and then conquer Goguryeo by land. Although this method is more troublesome, it is far safer than the Navy's strategy of taking Pyongyang directly.
While Yang Ji was thinking silently, a group of patrolmen rode up to the watchtower. Huo Chang shouted loudly from a distance: "Your Majesty! The Turkic army has sent back the Yingzhou women who were kidnapped by the Khitan dogs."
"How many people are there?" Yang Ji asked.
The fire chief replied loudly: "There are four to five thousand people!"
Yang Ji was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly got off the watchtower, jumped on the black sweaty BMW "Hummer", and said to Zhang Chuchen and Zhu Can who were on standby, "Let's go and take a look."
"Here!" Zhuque Guards and Xuanwu Guards mounted their horses one after another.
"Lead the way!" Yang Ji ordered the patrol guards again.
"Yes!" The patrolmen saluted, turned their horses, and led Yang Ji and his party to the west.
After leaving the dilapidated camp and walking two or three miles, we saw a Turkic army escorting a large group of women wearing Sui Dynasty cloth clothes and skirts.
However, this poor woman was terrified and trembling. For them, there was no difference between Turks and Khitans. Whoever fell into their hands would be a tiger's den or an abyss. Fortunately, Yang Ji had issued an order in advance not to allow the Turkic soldiers to bully the captured Sui Dynasty women, so the Turkic cavalry did not dare to show their bestiality.
Yang Ji and the soldiers all showed their armor of the Sui army. They galloped to the side of the team and then slowed down. Yang Ji controlled the horse from the side and said loudly: "I am Yang Ji, the king of the Sui Dynasty." , I came to rescue you all on the orders of the saint, you have been saved, there is no need to be afraid!"
Yang Ji rode his horse back and forth and shouted more than a dozen times. The thousands of poor, weak women supporting each other heard the familiar mother tongue, and saw that the soldiers who came to greet them were all wearing the armor of the Sui army.
After watching the cavalry silently for a long time, I finally believed that they had been rescued by the Sui army. Suddenly, the fear, sadness, and grievance that had been accumulated for a month or two burst out.
Thinking of the humiliation they had suffered and the relatives killed by the Khitan dog thieves, they immediately knelt on the ground and cried loudly, venting their hearts out... Many of them had been frightened for a month or two, but they were suddenly rescued, which was heartbreaking. fainted from crying.
Zhu Can and other Xuanwu guards looked at this very sad scene, with tears in their eyes. The Suzaku Guard even cried silently with her.
Even Yang Ji's eyes were red. Despite his outstanding military exploits, he was also an extremely emotional person and naturally did not want to see the people displaced and miserable. However, this time, the army that was supposed to protect the people was caught off guard by Khitan dogs due to negligence. These poor women and relatives must bear the blame for their mistakes.
This made Yang Ji extremely angry.
Next to Yang Jian, who has followed Yang Ji for so long, he has gained a lot of knowledge and his mentality has changed a lot. Although he was a big bully when he was in Guanzhong, he heard so many women crying sadly and fainting, but he didn't know Why, he even shed tears.
Seeing that Yang Ji's momentum was becoming more and more fierce, he felt timid and comforted him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, calm down! It is a good thing after all that the person is rescued."
"I know!" Yang Ji was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said solemnly to Yang Xian: "But damn, if I want to kill someone now, who will let me kill him?"
"This..." Faced with Yang Ji's momentum, Yang Jian was still quite afraid. He thought about it and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "The Khitan dogs invaded my Sui territory, killed my Sui people, and bullied my Sui women. They should be Exterminating the clan! Killing the captives and building a temple in Beijing is just the beginning."
"Kill? It's too easy for them!" Yang Ji took off the Chengying Sword and handed it to Yang Jian. His voice gradually became colder: "All the Khitan dogs in the camp will be buried alive. If Deng Hao has the kindness of a woman, he will not cooperate. , kill him for me and let him be buried for the dead people."
To put it bluntly, the disaster in Yingzhou was the fault of the frontier army; the fault of the frontier army was Deng Hao's fault.
Deng Hao used to be an official in the Chen Dynasty and had rich experience in fighting and governing local areas. Perhaps it was because he had the "women's kindness" of the Southern Dynasties, or perhaps because there were many ethnic groups in Yingzhou, so he treated the people in the territory Adopting a soft policy; this is right, but he should never, never include the Khitans.
If he hadn't always been gentle and "loving" in the past, why would the Khitans be so arrogant and bold? Why were the border troops so careless?
There are so many people who have died because of him now, it is impossible to kill them too much.
"Yes!" Yang Jian's heart felt cold, and he stepped forward to take the Shadow Bearing Sword.
"Zhu Can, take Xuanwu Guards to help."
"Here!" Zhu Can responded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, are you not going to build a Jingguan?"
"Since the Khitan dog is tired of living, let it disappear completely! From now on, this grassland will belong to me in the Sui Dynasty. Building a Beijing temple in the territory is not only boring, but also easy to cause plague, it is better not to build it." Yang Ji Leng snorted and said: "Next, we will continue to kill. There will always be a chance to build a Jingguan."
"General, I understand!" Zhu Can chuckled, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Their conversation was not deliberately lowered, and the women next to them listened.
Several of them suddenly walked away, staggered over, and knelt in front of Yang Ji's horse with a bang. A woman wiped away her tears, looked up at Yang Ji, sobbed, and said sadly: " Your Majesty, the Khitan traitors have killed our relatives and have a grudge against us to destroy our family. Please allow us to see the fate of our enemies."
"Your Majesty, please!" The girls kowtowed to Yang Ji.
Facing a pair of expectant and pleading eyes, Yang Ji got off his horse, returned the salute with his hands, and said, "I promise you, everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The women's voices became more choked up and they kowtowed several times before standing up.
Yang Ji thought for a moment and rearranged his plans: "Yang Renqi, go back first and tell Deng Hao about this, and then ask Da Xijing to send a thousand soldiers to be on guard."
"Here!" Yang Xian responded, turned the horse's head, and left first.
"Zhang Chuchen, take the Suzaku Guards to escort the sisters back."
"Here!" Zhang Chuchen gave the order, and the Suzaku Guard dispersed to convey the "good news" to these poor women that the dog had been buried alive. After hearing the words, the women stood up one after another and followed the Suzaku Guard.
The Turkic army saw this and did not follow. The captain led by him slowly rode his horse to Yang Ji. After this battle, the image of Yang Ji's invincibility became more intuitive and deeply rooted in the hearts of these Turks. He looked at Yang Ji with admiring eyes, said in broken Chinese and with the Han family's ceremonial clasping his fists: "The last general, A Bao, is here to see the king."
Yang Jixian put aside his distracting thoughts, looked at the Turkic captain in great surprise, and said in a relaxed tone. "You speak Chinese very well!"
"The king is so flattering! The king is so flattering!" Abao was a little flattered and said humbly.
"Very humble, not bad." Yang Ji was in a good mood, smiling and talking nonsense: "Your Chinese and your humility are better than some people in Sui Dynasty. I admire you very much."
"Thank you, thank you!" Abao blushed and felt a little shy.
Yang Ji couldn't help laughing when he saw a big man showing his "daughterlike" appearance, and kept laughing and said: "Tell me, where do these women come from?"
Abao replied without thinking: "Your Majesty, they were imprisoned in the Aohan tribe on the east bank of the upper reaches of the Tuohuchen River. When the people there heard that there was going to be a war here, they all evacuated to the west, and the empty camp was occupied. The Khitan people used it to imprison the women of your country, and left more than 300 soldiers to guard it. After the second prince arrived there, the Khitan soldiers were either killed or escaped. Then let me escort them back."
Yang Ji suddenly realized.
No wonder there is not a single woman in the camp. It seems that Siwandan Zhangke had no time to move to Huanglong, so he found a relatively secluded place to hide these poor women. But this is fine. If he stayed in the camp, I'm afraid Many people will die in the war.
After pondering for a long time, he smiled and said to Abao: "Go back and tell your second prince: When I return to Liangzhou, I will give him a generous gift."
Abao cupped his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the second prince asked the general to take back his white wolf head tape. I don't know..."
"Okay!" Yang Ji smiled and said, "Come with me! Later, I will choose two good horizontal knives for you as a reward for escorting the Sui Dynasty sisters back."
In advance, the two sides had already designated a "fishing and hunting zone", and the cooperation basically came to an end when the Khitan camp was broken up and everyone dispersed.
The "captains" he arranged in the Turkic army will also come back on their own. As for Ashina Qilifushu, the next step is to plunder the four Khitan tribes. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. At most, they will be like Abao. In this way, people were sent one after another to send back some people of the Sui Dynasty who had been kidnapped by the Khitans.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Abao was overjoyed.
"Let's go!"
"Here!"
