Chapter 166 Leading the troops to the battle

The court made a plan, the hundred officials retreated, and Yang Mingkun only left Yang Qiong, the king of Qin.

In the huge imperial study, it was suddenly a little desolate.

The King of Qin was dressed in military uniform, and he stood quietly in the center of the study, not understanding what the emperor meant.

Just now, no matter whether Gao Xiaoyun proposed or Yang Yue led the troops, King Qin thought that the emperor's arrangement was foolproof.

Yang Mingkun drank a cup of hot tea, sat on the dragon chair, and said to King Qin: "The momentum of the Hexi army is like a rainbow, Zhang Shaoqing is defeated, and he has to guard against it!" Fang Cai, you haven't spoken, do you have any other ideas?"

King Qin understood the emperor's personality and knew that he was suspicious, but unexpectedly, he personally arranged for Yang Yue and Gao Xiaoyun to fight in the northwest, but he was still not at ease.

"Father, the sixth brother is not an idle person, how can he be afraid of the Hexi army when he packs up the Khitan cavalry in the Bohai Sea. Besides, with the assistance of General Gao, the perfect combination will definitely expel the Hexi Army and recover Lingzhou City easily." King Qin's tone was calm and said patiently,

For Yang Yue and Gao Xiaoyun to lead the troops, full of confidence!

Hearing this, Yang Mingkun was still a little skeptical, and said: "Chen Anbiao has the support of the Xiongnu behind him, and Liulang is determined to recover Hexi and Shuofang, at present, is the opportunity right?"

Hexi and Shuofang have been separated from the control of the court for 20 years, and Yang Mingkun has long had the intention to recover, but he has been defeated in successive battles.

This time, the Hexi Army took the initiative to invade, Yang Yue proposed to recover Hexi and Shuofang, Yang Mingkun was very moved, but he was not very sure.

After all, if Hexi and Shuofang are recovered, when he is in power, he will revitalize the economy, recover the territory, and govern martial arts, which can be called a Ming monarch.

"Father, whether to recover Hexi and Shuofang needs to be decided according to the specific situation in the northwest!" King Qin replied.

As the emperor, no matter when, he must recover Hexi and Shuofang, so that he can pass through the northwest!

"What's the specifics?" Yang Mingkun asked.

King Qin pondered for a moment and said loudly: "First, the sixth brother and General Gao won the first battle, and the momentum of the army is like a rainbow, so that they can continue to go deeper.

Second, whether the Turks intervened to control Hexi and Shuofang, whether they sent troops to fight, and how many of them were attacked.

Only by combining these two points can we decide whether to recover Hexi and Shuofang."

"In that case, wait and see what happens!" Yang Mingkun nodded, thought for a moment, and said to King Qin: "No matter what the battle is on the front line, Erlang, you quickly lead the army to defend Chang'an and prevent accidents!"

"Yes!" King Qin arched his hand, and after speaking, in the emperor's motion, he bowed down and withdrew from the imperial study.

Leaving the palace, Yang Yue hurried back to his house without stopping. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Command the guards to quickly summon Fan Hengwen, Yan Yuefeng, and Xiao Yun to the study!

The war in the northwest came suddenly, disrupting his plan to return to the Bohai Sea, pass through the northeast, and establish a small force.

What's more, the emperor personally ordered him to lead the army to the northwest, which is a great matter, and it is necessary to immediately transfer the right military guard back from Bohai.

Fan Hengwen, Yan Yuefeng, and Xiao Yun arrived at the study.

asked Yang Yue one after another, the court's attitude towards the war in the northwest.

Yang Yue told them the attitude of the Ming Dynasty and the war in the northwest.

When Fan Hengwen heard this, he took the lead in standing up and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!"

"Fan Changshi, why do you have it?" Fighting in the northwest, Yang Yue felt that it was a chore, and he didn't think there was anything to celebrate.

Fan Hengwen chuckled slightly and said, "The prince's fiefdom is in the Bohai Sea, and his power is in the northeast, far away from Chang'an. This time, the prince was ordered to conquer the northwest, and he happened to expand his power to the northwest. ”

To establish his own power in the northwest, Yang Yue never thought that Hexi and Shuofang were too close to Chang'an.

If this battle captures the city and gains something, the imperial court will definitely grasp it all.

If he blatantly inserts cronies in Hexi, forms a force, and is discovered by the emperor, he must be suspected of eyeing Chang'an.

Yang Yue couldn't help but say: "Hexi is very close to Chang'an, and all activities are under the eyes of the emperor and hundreds of officials, and it is very dangerous to have power here." ”

"The prince is too worried, today, the prince is in danger, if he does something in Hexi, it will inevitably deter the Hexi army, the court will definitely know that the generals will not be able to fight against the Hexi army, only the prince will let him ambush him, even if the prince does not want to Hexi, Shuo Fang will retain power, and the court will leave the army in order to ensure the peace of the northwest." Xiao Yun said bluntly, clarifying the essence of the matter.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yue suddenly realized, and had to admire Fan Changwen and Xiao Yun's vision: "The soldiers are fast, and they can't be delayed, if you want to retain power in the northwest, you need to take the lead in recapturing Hexi and Shuofang." ”

Without hesitation, Yang Yue immediately sent Yan Yuefeng to the Bohai Sea and mobilized the right Wuwei to Gyeongju!

Send Xiao Yun to the camp of the Flying Cavalry Army, mobilize Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhu, Chang Fengchun, Ye Qinghu, and Lu Dingyuan, five lieutenant generals, each with a thousand flying cavalry troops, and accompany them to the northwest.

Fan Hengwen visited the prince's mansion to discuss the matter of military rations, and was always ready to receive the imperial court's rations.

With the order, the three of them acted quickly and left the mansion in a hurry!

At this time, Yuwen Linxuan's three daughters also understood that Yang Yue was ordered to lead the troops to the northwest!

I'm worried, but I don't have many children!

They firmly believe that men should serve the country when they kill the enemy, and thousands of miles of wolves will be high.

As a prince, Yang Yue should become a model for Tang Dynasty men.

What's more, in the past twenty years, the imperial court has fought against the Hexi Army many times, and there have not been many victories!

The three daughters are looking forward to Yang Yue recovering the lost ground and making great achievements!

However, the third daughter was also worried about Yang Yue's safety, but as a woman, she could not kill the enemy on the battlefield with the army.

A night lingered, and in the early morning, Yang Yue said goodbye to the three daughters.

The next day, the prince himself brought food and wages, and the army was ready and assembled at the west gate.

Gao Xiaoyun led the right thousand Niu Wei, Yang Yue led a thousand guards, and 5,000 flying cavalry troops, and more than 50,000 troops went to Wonju and Gyeongju!

In half a day, the army arrived in Qishan, and at noon on the second day, it arrived in Longzhou.

When they arrived in Longzhou, Yang Yue and Gao Xiaoyun parted ways, Gao Xiaoyun went to Yuanzhou to defend against the enemy, and Yang Yue went to Gyeongju to wait for the arrival of the Youwuwei army.

After resting for half a day, Yang Yue personally led Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhu and a few people to reconnoiter the terrain on all sides of Gyeongju.

This place is located on the Loess Plateau, with many ravines, suitable for Tibetan soldiers.

However, when Yang Yue led the troops to Gyeongju, he never had the idea of hiding the troops and defending them, on the contrary, he wanted to take the initiative to attack!

After scouting the terrain, Yang Yue sent Xiao Chen, Zhao Xuanhu, and Lu Dingyuan to rectify the defenders in the city, and sent Chang Fengchun and Ye Qinghu to take a small number of flying cavalry troops to go directly to the direction of Lingzhou to monitor the number of Hexi troops and the defense situation!

When everything was arranged, he stayed at the palace and waited patiently for the news and the arrival of the right guard.

Gao Xiaoyun garrisoned Yuanzhou City and joined Zhang Shaoqing!

Zhang Shaoqing reported to Gao Xiaoyun on the battle situation in Lingzhou City, and it turned out that when he led the army to Lingzhou City, the Hexi Army had already broken through Lingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qingwu was suspicious, and still led the Hexi Army, pretending to attack the city outside the city, he didn't know that Lingzhou City was lost, and the garrison was severely damaged by the Hexi Army that night.

It was difficult to escape with the troops, and he was ambushed by the Hexi army, and the 50,000 troops suffered heavy casualties, and only 10,000 people arrived in Yuanzhou with him!
