Chapter 169: Exploring the Terrain
Hearing this, Yang Yue laughed loudly: "This king personally sits in the northwest, with you, there is Zuo Wuwei, the Hexi army is not worried, but the spies sent have not yet returned, you have marched day and night, tired, have been restored, go back to rest for the time being, wait for the spies to send back the news, and then dispatch troops."

"Yes!" Lin Kaiyue hugged his fists, and Zhang Xuanheng and other generals also nodded.
The next day, Chang Fengchun and Ye Qinghu also spies, returning from the direction of Yuanzhou and Lingzhou.
Yang Yue quickly summoned the generals and strategists into the palace to discuss the conquest.
The generals and ministers gathered in the marshal's mansion and sat on both sides in the study.
Yang Yue glanced at Chang Fengchun and Ye Qinghu, who were in the dust, and asked, "Chang Fengchun, Ye Qinghu, what have you gained from exploring day after day?" ā
Chang Fengchun and Ye Qinghu glanced at each other, then looked at Lin Kaiyue and other generals, and finally shifted their eyes to Yang Yue, Chang Fengchun said: "Lord! Yang Qingwu led 100,000 Hexi troops and forward troops, and in three days, launched three fierce attacks on Yuanzhou City.
General Gao led the army to defend the city under great pressure, and there is no sign of the city of Yuanzhou being breached, but the momentum of the Hexi army is like a rainbow, and there seems to be signs of not taking Yuanzhou and vowing not to give up. ā
Yang Yue nodded: "Yuanzhou is very close to Chang'an, Yang Qingwu attacked Yuanzhou, it was expected!" ā
After speaking, Yang Yue's gaze shifted to Ye Qinghu and asked, "What about Lingzhou City, how many city defenders are there?" ā
"Lord Wang, the drought in Lingzhou City has just been alleviated, the autumn harvest is hopeless, the city has changed hands, the Hexi Army does not care whether the people live or die, and the people in the city are full of grievances.
However, Yang Qinghu left 20,000 defenders in Lingzhou City, and the people did not dare to act rashly. The last general guessed that if the prince led the army to capture Lingzhou, the people would strongly support it. Ye Qinghu said.
Understanding the situation in Yuanzhou and Lingzhou, Yang Yue looked at the murderous Yan Yuefeng, Lin Kaiyue and the four of them, glanced at Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhuren, and said: "Looking at the current situation, it is not good for the imperial court, this king plans to feign an attack on Lingzhou, deceive the enemy army to return to help, ambush and destroy it, and then gather troops to recapture Lingzhou." ā
Yang Yue went straight to the point, without reservation, and explained his plan to the generals.
In the past few days, after discussing with Fan Hengwen and Xiao Yun, Yang Yue felt that it was safest to pretend and ambush.
The generals were silent and thought for a while, Li Xuanqi fanned the fan in his hand, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, the Hexi Army occupies Lingzhou City, almost the entire territory of Shuofang.
Weichen suggested that there was no need to deal with the Hexi Army attacking Yuanzhou, and the right military guard divided the troops into two roads, directly taking Huaiyuan City and Lingzhou, striving for a battle, recapturing the two cities, and playing the right military guard in the first battle. ā
"What Li Changshi said is true! Shuofang's fight against the Turks and Tibetans can ensure the safety of the north! The last general also proposed to seize Shuofang, Yilingzhou, Huaiyuan as the foundation, and gradually seize Xiazhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Fengzhou and other Shuofang areas. Zhang Xuanheng supported Li Xuanqi's idea.
Yang Yue was silent, Fan Changheng stood up and said, "Li Changshi, General Zhang, you are often in the Bohai Sea and do not understand the situation in the court.
If it was in the Bohai Sea, the right military guard attacked at will, but in the northwest, the court was eager to take the lead in expelling the Hexi army and recapturing Lingzhou City.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent the prince to Gyeongju.
If the march is too risky, and the courtiers impeach the prince, even if the prince and the emperor have agreed on conditions, according to the emperor's hesitant character, it is bound to be Erfar, therefore, the prince's suggestion is very safe!
Expelled the Hexi Army, recaptured Lingzhou City, raised his eyebrows in the court, and then tried to seize the entire territory of Shuofang, the emperor's confidence was firm, and the court officials would not say much. ā
Fan Hengwen has known Li Xuanqi, Zhang Xuanheng and other generals for a long time, and they know their personalities well.
All of them are war maniacs, and if there is no restraint from Yang Yue, no one can control the generals and strategists of the Right Guard.
Not to mention the need to talk about controlling the right guard.
"Yes, Chang'an is not as good as Bohai, there are many traitors and traitors, we need to consider the situation of the prince, and I propose to act according to the prince's plan!" Yan Yuefeng agreed with Yang Yue's plan, he was in the capital, he understood the situation in the court, and he knew Yang Yue's situation in the court.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Xuanheng, Li Xuanqi, Lin Kaiyue, and Wei Jiyan stopped talking.
Yang Yue saw the expressions of the four of them, and said loudly: "The Bohai Sea is high and the emperor is far away, let me go alone, galloping between the black mountains and white waters." The northwest is close to Chang'an, and there are many ill-intentioned people.
You temporarily rein, wait for the war in the northwest to calm down, garrison the Bohai Sea, and then live and operate! ā
Hearing this, Li Xuanqi looked ashamed, put away the folding fan, and said: "Lord, Weichen is ashamed, he didn't consider the situation of the prince, the war in the northwest, and Weichen agreed to the prince's proposal." ā
"The last general seconded it!"
"The last general seconded it!"
"The last general will serve!"
Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, and Wei Jiyan hugged their fists and fully supported Yang Yue. Right Wuwei is loyal to Yang Yue, not the emperor.
If there is no Yang Yue, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to dispatch.
Right Wuwei up and down, loyal to Yang Yue, said unceremoniously,
Looking at it, Yang Yue raised his hand, signaled the generals to be quiet, his expression became serious, and said: "The Hexi army has captured Lingzhou, and the momentum is flourishing, and the imperial court has been defeated many times, and it is afraid of the Hexi army.
This time, the right Wuwei fought the Hexi Army for the first time, and it was necessary to settle the situation in one battle, kill the Hexi Army's sharpness, and play the momentum of the right Wuwei. ā
Expressing his determination to the generals present, Yang Yue quickly nodded and said: "Yan Yuefeng, Fan Changwen, Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhu, the three of you led 20,000 people, bluffed, and formed a state of rumors and trees, and the whole army stormed Lingzhou City. ā
"Yes!" Yan Yuefeng, Xiao Chen, and Zhao Xuanhu got up and said sharply.
After the three of them returned to their seats, Yang Yue continued: "Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, Li Xuanqi, Chang Fengchun, Ye Qinghu, led 30,000 people, and this king personally found a suitable place to ambush the main force of the Hexi Army between Yuanzhou City and Lingzhou City, and must cripple the other party in one battle!" ā
"Obey the king's orders!" The four lieutenant generals, together with Li Changshi, got up and hugged their fists."
"Wei Jiyan, Xiao Yun, Lu Dingyuan, lead five thousand flying cavalry troops and stay in Gyeongju City!" Yang Yue said.
The three of them were commanded.
Yang Yue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Guys, do you have anything else to add?" ā
"Obey the king's orders!" More than a dozen people got up and arched their hands.
Yang Yue made a plan, and the next day, the army set off!
According to Yang Yue's plan, the army was divided into two routes, one to Lingzhou City, and the other to the vicinity of Yuanzhou, preparing to ambush the Hexi army.
The army of 50,000 right guards, like a rainbow, like 50,000 wolves, is ready to hunt!
The autumn breeze is slightly cool.
The cold air in the north is getting stronger, Yang Yue is wearing a helmet, and according to the pre-plan, he goes directly to the direction of Yuanzhou City.
For the Hexi Army and the commander Yang Qingwu, in the past few days, Yang Yue has a little understanding according to different channels.
The Hexi army led by Yang Qingwu was basically trained with the help of the Turks, of which 50,000 cavalry had been personally trained in the northern grasslands, and they were skilled in bows and horses. (To be continued.) )
