Chapter 226 I'd rather be a ghost killed in battle than a slave to the country

The cold wind whirred, rolling up dust and whirring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The emperor moved away, personally went out of the palace, led the ministers, regardless of the severe cold, on the city wall, for the Northern Expedition soldiers to practice.

Outside the city gate, there were many armor soldiers, lined up neatly, and their bodies exuded a murderous aura.

Yang Mingkun stood in the corridor of the city wall, observed the soldiers under the city in detail, turned his head to face Zhang Chenfeng, the master who came to the city head, and Fu Yuwenshi, and said softly: "Yes, these armies have a murderous aura. ”

"Emperor Mingjian, let His Royal Highness the Sixth and Heng'er go to Youzhou, and they will definitely be able to thwart the Khitan and Silla soldiers." Yuwen Shi bowed his head and explained to the emperor.

The Yuwen family and the northern jiedu envoys, Turks, and Khitans all had interests in exchange.

However, the heart of the Yuwen family is like a mirror, and if it is not my race, its heart will be different.

The Yuwen family traded with the Khitan in exchange for horses, iron, and secretly planned. However, if the Khitan and Silla coalition forces seized Youzhou and controlled the northeast, it would inevitably lead to the idea of entering the Central Plains, and the interests of the Yuwen family would be damaged.

Zhang Chenfeng was dressed in a fox fur, wrapped his whole body tightly, and said: "This battle is very important, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, King Yan is a fierce general on the battlefield, and he will definitely not leave a handle for the enemy who comes to attack." ”

"Yes, if the enemy army is expelled, and there is Rokuro in Youzhou, the threat from the northeast will gradually be eliminated. A few years later, when these young generals can take charge on their own, it will be the time for the Tang Dynasty to open up its territory. Yang Mingkun said with hesitation.

While the three of them were talking, Yang Yue rode his horse and rushed out of the west gate, holding a halberd drawn to the sky, going straight from the north to the south, and when he arrived at the center of the army, he tightened the reins of his horse and sat on his horse.

Glaring at his eyes, he swept over the army, and said to the generals in front of the various armies: "Youzhou suddenly changed, and the 300,000 allied troops of Silla and Khitan attacked the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Flying Cavalry Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the training army, there are still more than two years before they are trained to become an army, and the situation is tense, and the opponent does not allow us to delay.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, today, the king took everyone to Youzhou to defend against the enemy, hoping that the army would be victorious. ”

"Victory, victory!"

Hearing the sound, Yan Yuefeng, Lin Kaiyue, Wei Jiyan, Ye Qinghu, Chang Fengchun, Sima Kuo and other generals raised their blades and shouted wildly.

At this time, the soldiers in the rear also shouted in unison, and the sound wave was higher and higher.

Yang Yue bowed his head, waved his heavenly halberd, signaled the whole army to be quiet, and said loudly again: "Before the battle, this king only said three flashes.

First, this battle is dangerous, the enemy who comes to attack, most of them are lions in a hundred battles, in addition, the bitter cold in Youzhou, in winter, the environment is extremely bad, before leaving, if there is a greedy person who is afraid of the dead, now withdraw, the king will not be punished. However, if you go to Youzhou with the army, encounter the enemy, and escape from the battle, Hugh blames the king for being ruthless. Do you have? ”

"I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country!" Zhang Xuanheng rode his horse forward, and Yan rider had an iron whip in his hand and shouted loudly.

Guanzhi, Yan Yuefeng, Lin Kaiyue, and Wei Jiyan also urged the war horses to move forward, waving their respective blades and saying: "I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country." ”

For a while, Xiao Yun, Zhao Xuanhu, Ye Qinghu, Chang Fengchun and other generals also stood up, raised their arms and shouted: "I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country." ”

Gradually, the loud shouts spread into the distance, and the whole army thundered, and the sound of overwhelming mountains and seas also broke out.

Yang Yue sat on horseback, with a pair of eyes, sweeping the whole army with high momentum, and no soldier came out.

Coughing lightly, Yang Yue continued: "Second, the whole army goes to the north, in the battle, the general dies, the deputy general takes over the command, the deputy general dies, Zhonglang talks about taking over the command, Zhonglang will die in battle, the lieutenant takes over, and so on, as long as the battlefield is over, either win, or the whole army fights to the last man."

Whether it can be done or not, and whether it can be done, this rule will be communicated to the whole army. ”

"Yes!" The general in front, the lieutenant general, said loudly.

Hearing this, Yang Yue nodded with satisfaction and said: "Third, this king governs the army, meritorious service will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, killing the enemy on the battlefield, and recording merit according to the head, if you want to be promoted quickly, you must kill more enemies on the battlefield." ”

"Yes!"

The matter was urgent, and after explaining the three rules, Yang Yue did not hesitate, drew the heavenly halberd and pointed straight to the northeast, and shouted: "The whole army, go!" ”

"Yes!"

For a moment, the whole army erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

The right guard is the vanguard, the flying cavalry army is second, the tiger army is again, the right guard is broken, the army slowly disperses, and moves forward quickly.

Yang Yue rode his horse, came to the generals, turned his head to Yang Mingkun on the city wall, and rode his horse forward.

In the corridor of the city wall, Yang Mingkun watched the army stay away, and sighed: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth! ”

"Yes, the two rules behind King Yan are very important, if the Northern Expedition is successful, these armies will definitely become a strong force." Zhang Chenfeng elaborated.

Yu Wenshi didn't say a word, followed Yang Mingkun, and walked under the city wall.

At the head of the West Gate, most of the officials left, only the prince and He Hengrui still stood quietly on the city wall, watching the army go away.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly climbed the city wall, came to the crown prince, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Highness, everything is in order." ”

"Very well, let's go down!" When the prince heard this, his face gradually smiled.

Clenched his fists tightly, took a long breath, and chattered softly: "Yang Yue, go to the north, don't think about returning to Chang'an!" ”

"Your Highness, 300,000 elites, such a loss is too great, the court can't afford it, there are many ways to deal with King Yan, and the consequences of doing this are unimaginable!" When He Hengrui heard this, his face was bitter cold, and he hurriedly explained the danger to the prince.

What is the prince's strategy, He Hengrui knows it, he has dissuaded the prince before, but unfortunately he was refuted by the prince.

The prince's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched tightly, and he said coldly: "Zhongshu Ling, the amount is small and not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, not to mention, this king only calculates the 150,000 troops under Yang Yue's account, and shows mercy to the Tiger Ben army and the right guard." ”

"Your Highness, the right Wuwei is the main force of the Northern Expedition, if King Yan is defeated, who will resist the enemy in the court!" He Hengrui was very entangled, he attacked Yang Yue and supported the prince, nothing more than to protect the interests of the family.

Today, Yang Yue led the army to the north to defend against the enemy, which is related to the safety of the country.

The territory of the northeast was lost, the people of the court were disheartened, and the blow to the court was immeasurable.

What's more, without Yang Yue leading the army to fight, in the court, the general dared to block the edge of the Khitan and Silla armies when they won a new victory.

He Hengrui was worried that the prince would gradually get carried away by hatred in order to eradicate Yang Yue, lose his bottom line, and ignore the situation in the court.

If Yang Yue dies in battle, the king will personally go to Yuwen Mansion and invite Yuwen Shi to go out of the mountain and lead the army north. In case it doesn't work, there is no Zhang Chenfeng, well, Erlang is not bad. When he was in the main hall, the prince didn't think about it, and felt that there was no general in the court to replace Yang Yue, and after retreating from the court, he thought about it carefully and found that things were not as bad as he imagined.

He had a chance to give it a go and put Yang Yue to death.
