Chapter 0589: The Party Civil War Begins
The Liao people invaded the south, and the Great Song Dynasty had to deal with it, and the war between the Song and Liao would also break out.
When the time comes, Yang Qi, the layoutman, will be able to reap the benefits in the middle.
This is what Yang Qi wants.
Yang Qi sent a letter to Wang Mingcheng, telling Wang Mingcheng to report the movements of Liao at all times, so that he could adjust the prices of Liao at all times and further deplete the national strength of Liao.
After dealing with the government affairs sent by Wang Mingcheng, Yang Qi finally had time to take a breath.
After sending away all the playbooks, Yang Qi let out a sigh of relief, stood up and moved his muscles.
In the middle of the study, there is a Nanmu table, boxy, with a hollow carved ornament.
A tea set was placed on the table, and warm clouds emanated from it.
This is what Du Jin'e just helped Yang Qi brew.
Yang Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and the cup was his favorite southern rice flower tea.
The tea is yellowish in green, bitter first and then sweet, with a long aftertaste.
Yang Qiyi drank three cups in a row, his stomach was full of water, and he shook and gurgled.
He patted his belly and prepared to pace out the door.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Peng Pai hurriedly entering the courtyard.
"Young Master, it's a war!"
Peng Pai bowed in front of Yang Qi with an excited face.
Yang Qi was stunned, first with a puzzled expression, and then turned into a look of surprise, "You mean, the Wild Beggars Clan and the Li Clan are at war?" ”
Peng Pai nodded heavily.
Yang Qixi was overjoyed, and pulled Peng Pai into the study, and after the two sat down, Yang Qi hurriedly asked, "When is it, tell me about it." ”
Peng Pai said excitedly: "Ten days ago, the heavy armored cavalry equipment escorted by Yeqi Guguhun arrived at the Yeqi tribe; Six days ago, the wild beggar Ganbo had armed a thousand heavy cavalry. Four days ago, the Datong army was ordered to enter the territory of the Yeqi tribe and had already connected with the Yeqi tribe.
In the four days that followed, the Yeqi tribe secretly gathered strength, but did not trigger it, allowing the Li clan to frequently invade the territory of the Yeqi tribe.
The territory of the Yeqi tribe suffered heavy losses under the harassment of the heavy cavalry of the Li clan.
The entire wild beggar tribe hated the same enemy, and knelt down to beg the wild beggar to fight against the Li clan.
Yesterday, the wild beggar Ganpo laid a trap to lure the heavy armored cavalry under the command of the Li clan to invade the ambush circle designed by the wild beggar tribe.
Kill 300 heavy armored cavalry of the Li clan on the spot.
At the same time, Ye Qi Ganbo officially issued a surrender order, and the troops were sent to the territory of the Li clan.
Li Jiqian of the Li clan seems to have expected that he had already laid down heavy troops on the border of Yinxia Erzhou.
At the moment, the two sides have already started fighting. ”
Yang Qi slapped the table and said excitedly: "It's good to fight, it's good to fight." I'm afraid they won't fight. ”
While excited, Yang Qi asked again: "How are the forces of the two sides?" ”
Peng Pai said cautiously: "According to the report of his subordinates, Ye Qi Ganbo led 150,000 cavalry, united 50,000 Datong troops, and sent troops to Yinxia Erzhou. There is no exact number of soldiers and horses under Li Jiqian's command for the time being, and the current strength exposed by Li Jiqian's command is about 60,000. His subordinates deduced that Li Jiqian still had hidden troops and did not know where the ambush was. ”
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "The Dingyan Army didn't appear?" ”
Peng Pai nodded deeply.
Yang Qi thought thoughtfully, "Send people to closely monitor the movements of the two departments within the party, especially the movements of the difficult army under Li Jiqian. The Dingyan Army is the killer weapon in Li Jiqian's hands, and its power cannot be underestimated. No matter who is against Li Jiqian, as long as he ignores this army of soldiers and horses, he will suffer. ”
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will notify them."
Yang Qi nodded, and said, "Send someone to inform Yang Yande and order him to lead troops into Dongsheng Prefecture." This is what the wild beggar has promised us. No matter what part of the internal struggle within the party is fought, we must take it firmly in our hands what is promised to us.
In addition, send someone to inform Kou Zhun and tell him that the officials he has gathered can be sent on the road. At the same time, you send another team of scarecrows over and help them lead the way. ”
After Peng Pai wrote down all Yang Qi's orders, he quickly went down to do it.
Yang Qi stood in the study, looking at the direction of the party item from afar, thoughtfully.
Lao Wang Gui, who was hundreds of miles away, seemed to have sensed it and looked in the direction of Fuxing Mansion.
"General, what are you looking at?"
Wang Gui's personal soldiers followed his gaze in the direction of Fuxing Mansion, but within the eyes of his personal soldiers, there was nothing but a green grassland.
That's why I asked.
When Lao Wang Gui heard this, his hand stroking his beard paused, shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, the old man just didn't expect that when he opened his mouth to ask Qilang for a chance to train soldiers, he actually sent the old man over to help the party members fight." ”
The soldiers scratched their heads and said honestly: "General, do you feel that this battle is not worth fighting like the soldiers?" ”
Lao Wang Gui glared at his own soldiers, glanced around, and saw that the people sent by the wild beggar tribe to follow them were far away, so he scolded: "You little cubs, you know a fart. The old man has been on the battlefield for decades, and he has never seen a more cost-effective battle than this one. ”
The soldiers scratched their ears and cheeks, and asked curiously, "How do you say that?" ”
Old Wang Gui rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Do you know that if we send 50,000 troops to help the wild beggars fight, what can we get?" ”
The soldier shook his head ignorantly.
Lao Wang Gui laughed in a low voice: "The land of a mansion ......"
The pro-soldier's pupils gradually narrowed, and his mouth slowly dilated.
Lao Wang Gui smiled, "Now you understand, right?" ”
The soldier nodded excitedly.
Even the most stupid person understands what it means to be in a place.
It means population, it means land, it means wealth, it means that these soldiers who fight on the battlefield can get a lot of rewards.
In the excited eyes of the soldiers, Lao Wang Gui whispered again: "Not only that...... Huhou also helped you win the siege ......"
The soldiers were ecstatic and exclaimed, "That means we can also plunder like the Rangers......"
Before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Lao Wang Gui.
Old Wang Gui and the old god said in a low voice: "Quietly inform the brothers, keep your eyes bright, be smart, don't take anything." Pick the valuable, small things, such as gold and silver, ......"
The pro-soldier was self-taught, nodding frantically.
After Lao Wang Gui said this to the pro-soldiers, it was quickly spread to the entire Datong army by the pro-soldiers.
After learning the news, the officers and men of the Datong Army were red-eyed and ecstatic.
Some of the bold ones even came to Lao Wang Gui to confirm the news.
They were all scolded back by Lao Wang Gui.
However, these guys, one by one, understood Lao Wanggui's character, and through the hints of Lao Wanggui's words and eyes, they confirmed this matter at once.
All of a sudden, the whole army rejoiced.
The overseers of the Yeqi tribe who were sent to supervise the army by Yeqi Ganbo were a little stunned after seeing the Datong army.
Obviously, this group of guys is here to help, how can they look more eager than the soldiers of their wild beggar tribe.
Although I don't understand why the Datong army has become so eager to try, it is a good thing for the Yeqi tribe.
"General Wang, my king ordered that in three hours, the army will arrive at the city of Guye, and I ask General Wang to prepare early."
Lao Wang Gui waved the order flag in his hand and shouted, "The whole army is ready to attack......
"Fierce!"
The soldiers of the Datong army roared violently, and followed Lao Wang Gui to Guye City with joy.
The soldiers of the Datong Army, although they are new troops, there are also veterans who have been trained for a long time.
The combat effectiveness is still very strong.
When Lao Wang Gui arrived at the city of Guye, Ye Qi Ganbo had already led the cavalry to sweep away the soldiers and horses of the Li clan in the four fields, leaving only 4,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Li clan in the city from counterattacking.
In fact, the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar did not go far, but were stationed ten miles away from the ancient city.
He wanted to take a closer look at whether the Datong Army, an allied force, could be used, and whether it would help him to die.
After all, it was also the first time that Ye Qi Ganbo cooperated with the army of the Great Song Dynasty.
He needs to review it.
The city wall of Guye City is not high, the highest point plus the city gate building, only two zhang, most of the city wall is only one zhang high.
The party members at the head of the city, shaking their pigtails, nervously defended the army under the city.
Lao Wang Gui has been fighting for decades, and when he looked at the past, he saw that the soldiers and horses of the Li clan on the head of the city did not have much experience in defending the city wall.
In Lao Wang Gui's view, the city defense of Guye City can be said to be full of loopholes.
"Trebuchet!"
"Ladder!"
"Siege crossbow!"
"Heavy armor!"
"Ready!"
……
"Siege!"
When everything was ready, Lao Wang Gui directly gave the order to attack the city.
Trebuchets frantically threw boulders into the city.
The stones fell on the top of the city, and the party members on the head of the city were torn apart.
The heavy armor rushed to the city wall at the first time.
The jumpers who landed in the city followed closely behind with ladders.
After arriving at the city wall, the heavy armor soldiers quickly arranged a steel defense line to block the majestic rain of arrows from the city.
Ladders were erected on the top of the city, but there were few soldiers who climbed the ladders.
"Whoosh~"
The siege crossbow, which weighed a thousand pounds, was knocked down before the war.
The ballistas, like spears, were rooted in the city wall, densely packed.
After the ballista fell on the city walls.
The jumper, with a horizontal knife in his mouth, jumped onto the crossbow spear stuck to the city wall like an ape.
The jumpers dangled from their crossbow guns, easily avoiding the rain of arrows falling from the city.
All the party members of the Li clan at the head of the city almost all their eyes were on the jumping soldiers.
They didn't notice that a group of soldiers carrying animal skin bags quietly arrived at the city.
"Boom!"
After a deafening roar, the gates of Guye City fell apart.
The officers and men of the Datong Army rushed in.
Guye City was so easily broken.
Lao Wang Gui rode his horse at the gate of Guye City for a quarter of an hour, looked at the black and slimy city gate hole, and said with emotion: "This gunpowder is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city. From now on, the Qianli Xiongguan will no longer exist......"
Before that, Lao Wang Gui had only heard of the name of gunpowder, but he had never seen the power of gunpowder.
In order to see the power of gunpowder, before this expedition, Lao Wang Gui sent sixteen private messages to Yang Qi in a row, asking Yang Qi to support him with a little gunpowder.
Yang Qi couldn't resist him, and secretly sent Peng Pai to escort a hundred catties of gunpowder to the Datong army.
Lao Wang Gui used it decisively in the first battle of the party.
Now that he has seen the power of gunpowder with his own eyes, Lao Wang Gui also has to sigh at the power of gunpowder.
"Send someone down to secretly guard the place where the gunpowder is stored, and don't let idle people approach."
Lao Wang Gui immediately gave an order to guard the gunpowder closely.
As for Guye City, Lao Wang Gui had no intention of going in at all.
A group of poor and crazy big-headed soldiers rushed into Guye City, what Guye City would be liked, Lao Wang Gui could guess some in his heart.
A quarter of an hour after the soldiers of the Datong Army rushed into Guye City, smoke erupted everywhere in Guye City.
After seeing the group of second goods of the rangers rich one by one, the soldiers of the Datong Army have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
When the first Datong army soldier rushed out of Guye City with his capture, Lao Wanggui's face was terrifying.
"Tell me, what's the use of grabbing a bunch of skins?"
The soldier of the Datong Army stiffened his neck and said righteously: "Sell for money!" General, don't you know that in Fengcheng, a skin can buy a lot of money. Our six horses, each with hundreds of skins on their backs, are worth hundreds of taels. ”
Lao Wanggui's face was even darker, "And then?" ”
The soldiers of the Datong army said excitedly: "Continue to rob, when you go back, your subordinates can grab dozens of horses and tens of thousands of skins, and after you return to Fengcheng and sell them, your subordinates will be rich." Hey, hey, hey......"
Lao Wang Gui almost didn't jump off the horse and strangled the goods, "So what?" In the end, it's not about the money, so why not just grab it? ”
"Uh~"
The soldiers of the Datong Army were stunned.
At this time, the old Wang Gui's personal soldiers returned from the ancient city.
On him, he carried a bag of animal skins, which were bulging and tightly covered.
After seeing Lao Wang Gui, his soldiers stepped forward and said with a smile: "General, take a look." ”
The soldiers opened the animal skin pocket, and inside the animal skin pocket was a bag of jewelry, as well as some gold and silver, the most dazzling of which should be a golden sword.
The gold knife is inlaid with various colored gemstones, and it is very gorgeous.
While showing the fruits of their plunder, the soldiers said proudly: "General, my subordinates have calculated, just this golden knife is worth thousands of taels." Plus something else, hehehehe......"
As he spoke, he also frowned and said to Lao Wang Gui: "General, do you want your subordinates to let your brothers hand over 10% of your shares?" ”
Lao Wang Gui glared at his soldiers fiercely, and said angrily: "Remember the rules, thirty percent of the captured ones belong to you." The remaining seventy percent will be handed in, of which forty percent will be used to pay for the brothers who died or were wounded in battle, and the remaining thirty percent will be converted into fields or houses for you.
As for the old man, then there is no need. The old man doesn't bother to grab money from you bastards. ”
The pro-soldier nodded happily and said, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates understand......"
Lao Wang Gui scolded in a low voice in the stunned eyes of the Datong army soldier who was the first to rush out of Guye City: "Look at the people, look at you again...... Robbery won't rob, fool ......"
