Dongshan County in Liaozhou is located on the west bank of the Liao River. It is the front line of the confrontation between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. Therefore, there are not many permanent residents. The population is mainly composed of soldiers and military family members, and the places where military family members live are mainly close to The northwest corner of Yanzhou; once a war breaks out, the people can take refuge in Yanzhou as soon as possible, or they can enter Xu Wulu Mountain to avoid the war.
The county seat in the middle is the gathering place for grain and grass supplies, and the real frontline base camps are Kaiyuan Military Town and Tongding Military Town on the Liao River. They form a north-to-north direction with Yanzhou Huaiyuan Military Town and Wanghai Haijun Town in the south of the Liao River. The southern military system has many military fortresses interspersed between and behind the four major military towns.
This solid defense system connecting the two states was built by Wei Chong on the order of Yang Jian after he defeated the Goguryeo coalition. After nearly ten years of repairs, this defense line has become more and more perfect.
Since Gao Yuan "bowed down" to Yang Jian, both sides of the court have tacitly agreed to retreat for more than thirty miles. However, after Yang Ji destroyed the Khitan, Goguryeo aggressively assembled an army on the east bank of the Liao River, pretending to be crossing the river on ice. Posture. The Sui Dynasty, whether for the sake of the dignity of the court or out of actual needs, could not treat it indifferently, so Li Zixiong, the general manager of Youzhou, under the order of Yang Ji, dispatched troops tit-for-tat and stationed on the west bank of the Liao River. A large number of troops; in addition, Yang Lun, the general manager of Jizhou, was ordered by the imperial court to urgently dispatch an additional 30,000 Jizhou troops, so the west bank of the Liao River is now extremely lively.
The Sui army's military camp was not a temporary camp built on the fly, but a solid military camp that already existed. It was usually managed by local officials and state soldiers, and the troops could move in as soon as they arrived.
The camp was now densely covered with soldiers, with flags waving, and the walls of the small fortress on the shore were even more heavily guarded. The dense forests of soldiers emitted a cold light in the snow, almost reflecting the gloomy sky.
It is late February of the second year of Daye, but there is still heavy snowfall in Dongshan County, Liaozhou, and the ground is white and icy.
Yang Ji has been in the Northeast for a long time, and this is his first time to Dongshan County. In his memory, Dongshan County in Liaozhou is the most important place for Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo. It seems that the cross-river battle launched by Yang Guang was carried out here. , in the first expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Guang sent his trusted generals Mai Tiezhang, Qian Shixiong, and Meng Jincha as the forwards. The three generals lived up to Yang Guang's trust, successfully landed on the beach, and established an army on the east coast. The beachhead provides security for the rear army to cross the river.
However, at this extremely critical moment, the pontoon bridge built by the architect Yu Wenkai broke and collapsed, leaving the forward army led by the three generals isolated and helpless, and all of them died in battle.
This kind of "coincidence" was so excessive that Yang Ji had to suspect that Yu Wenkai did it deliberately.
However, in this world, with his arrival, the situation in the Northeast has changed a lot. First, the Khitans died and Sumo Mohe surrendered, which caused the territory of Liaozhou to expand countless times, and the northern parts of Liaodong County and Xuantu County in the Han Dynasty were all returned. It was owned by the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo in the future, it could effectively avoid the natural chasm of Liao River. Secondly, Eulji Munde, who changed the fate of the two countries, turned into a headless corpse.
The expedition to Goguryeo that may happen in the future will definitely lose a lot of excitement because of my operations, but so what? If this wonderful thing had to be exchanged for Sui's blood and tears, Yang Ji would rather not have it.
"Your Majesty, Prince Teng and Manager Li are here." Zhu Can, who was outside the car, saw a group of cavalry running with a flag from a distance, and said to Yang Ji.
In fact, Yang Ji had recovered from his cold, but everyone cared about him and built him a carriage that looked like a sleigh.
Good intentions are hard to reject, and Yang Ji himself will not be stubborn. After listening to Zhu Can's words, Yang Ji stopped the carriage and rode the big white horse Phantom instead.
He has many BMWs, but there are only six commonly used mounts, among which the black horse is called Mercedes-Benz, the bay horse is called Hongqi, the black gelding horse is called Dongfeng, the camouflage-like piebald horse is called Hummer, the more common gray horse is called Volkswagen, and the white horse is called Phantom. The first five horses were used in battles, but after wearing black armor, they were not so eye-catching; the remaining phantom white horses were mainly used to show off and look cool. If they were used the other way around, they would easily become targets for arrows.
Of course, his war horse also has dark body armor like horse armor; but there is no war now, so there is no need to put body armor on the horse.
After he completed the transfer, hundreds of horses roared in front of him. The leader was none other than Teng Wang Yang Lun. He stepped out from the crowd, glanced at the carriage next to him, and joked: "Vajra slave, you came in a carriage. When did you become so fragile?"
"My younger brother caught some cold, which made my elder brother laugh!" Yang Ji explained: "It's bitterly cold in Liaozhou, and I was a little exhausted mentally and physically some time ago, so I can't bear it."
Yang Lun looked at him carefully and found that he had indeed lost a lot of weight. He asked with concern: "The cold is not a trivial matter. Are you okay?"
Yang Ji replied: "It's fine now, but everyone is worried."
After hearing what Yang Ji said, Yang Lun said nothing more and said with a smile: "Not only did you force the Xi tribe to surrender this time, but you also surrendered the Sumo Mohe tribe. Although the Northeast has not yet returned to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, But it is also the highest since the Jin Dynasty."
Yang Lun didn't have that many tricks up his sleeve. Before Yang Shuang died, he asked him to take care of Yang Ji. Yang Shuang didn't ask for his son's future, but only hoped that his son would be safe and not go astray; and Yang Lun, as Yang Ji's One of the "Guardians" who has always been dedicated to his responsibilities. Now that Yang Ji is so promising, his father-like brother is naturally very pleased and proud.
After saying that, he pointed up his finger and praised: "What's particularly rare is that it didn't cost me a single soldier in the Sui Dynasty. It's amazing, it's really amazing."
"Brother, that's ridiculous!" Yang Ji chuckled: "Actually, it was the guy on the other side who created the good opportunity, and he deserves the most credit. When we meet, I have to thank him profusely."
Yang Lun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "You have to thank him so much. This is called a man who can clearly distinguish between grudges and grudges; haha..."
Li Zixiong, who came up to meet them, listened to their brothers' conversation and laughed loudly: "If the saint rewards him heavily, I guess he will be so happy that he vomits three liters of blood."
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
After hearing Li Zixiong's words, Yang Ji and Yang Lun couldn't help but glance at each other. They both saw a strange and dangerous smile on each other's faces, and then laughed.
"hey-hey!"
"Ha ha!"
When Li Zixiong and others heard the Yang brothers "giggling", they were immediately confused and didn't know why.
"Two great kings, what are you laughing at?" Zhu Can was a serious person and asked just because he didn't understand.
"Nothing!" Yang Ji glanced at Li Zixiong and said, "General Manager Li just said something amazing!"
Li Zixiong also came to his senses and said with bright eyes: "Two great kings, the relationship between the two factions on the other side of the Taiwan Strait is tense. Although they are not incompatible with each other, if the saint really comes here all of a sudden, there will be great fun."
"I will write to the saint about this matter and ask him to give him a heavy reward." Yang Ji said.
Yang Lun said: "I'm not stupid! Will you accept it?"
"It depends on people!" Yang Ji said nonchalantly: "Even if they don't accept it, their rift will widen, but for us, there will be no loss at all."
Yang Lun nodded: "That's right."
Looking at the two brothers, Li Zixiong suddenly discovered something interesting. Yang Lun, the elder brother, seemed to follow Yang Ji's lead, and he had a feeling of 'obedience to his younger brother's orders'.
When the three military leaders of Youzhou finished speaking, the young governor Yan Xun, who had already dismounted, stepped forward and saluted, saying: "I am humbled by your post, and I am here to see the King of Wei."
"No gift for niece-in-law!" Yang Ji looked at Yan Xun funny. This guy and Li Daliang were his friends since childhood, and now, both of them are Yang Xiong's sons-in-law. The difference is that Li Daliang is not married yet. .
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Xun twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, then stood up straight. He was a local snake in Liaozhou. He just heard that Yang Ji had suffered from the cold, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "King Wei, are you going to the county town or the military camp? "
"Let's go to the county seat!" Yang Ji was ordered to fight against the Khitans, and the mission had already been completed; it was just that the Goguryeo people were ignorant, which triggered the subsequent war. For now, the war could not be fought, so he was too lazy to go The military camp shows its presence so as not to annoy people. Next, he only needs to meet Yuan Ziyou, and then return to Huanglong to arrange follow-up matters.
As for Dongshan County, just leave it to Li Zixiong, the general manager of Youzhou, and Yan Xun will also go to Huanglong City later. After all, the state government has been transferred there.
