Chapter 337 Plans for the Kusaki River

Yang Keshi was taken away, and the Qingzhou camp was dead silent, and many soldiers looked around blankly, not knowing what to say. Yang Weizhong didn't hate Yang Keshi, speaking carefully, Yang Keshi just had too much meritorious service and gave away a lot of lives, but Yang Keshi was really a fierce general in battle, and it was not too good to lead the troops to set up the formation, but the crime he committed this time was too heavy, and it was simply not enough to correct the military law if he didn't kill. But in this case, there are still people who want to protect Yang Keshi, so if you want to hate this court, why not be indiscriminate, good or bad?

The seed master woke up slowly, and saw Yang Weizhong's expressionless face, and his eyes were red, he seemed to have guessed something, and his already wrinkled face seemed to be much older, "What about Yang Keshi?" ”

"Old general, Yang Keshi, Yang Keshi was taken to Gaoyang by Tong Shumi's people, saying that he would wait until the imperial court to be disposed of by the official family!" The voice of the conversation was intermittent, and he didn't dare to look up at the face of the seed master. At this time, the seed master Dao closed his eyes gently, and could only sigh helplessly, more than 5,000 elite horses were destroyed overnight, how much of a sin is this? But this kind of sin, as long as Tong Shumi changes his words slightly, it is another result, the official family is far away in the capital, where does he know the specific course of the matter, so it is not played by Tong Shumi and others? What's more, the official family may not know how important these five thousand elite horses are.

The Great Song Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, the products are rich, there is no shortage of iron weapons and armor, only the lack of war horses, the northwest Uighurs produce horses, but they are blocked and occupied by the Western Xia people, the Liao people in the north also have horses, but they will never be sold to the Great Song Dynasty, but the Yunnan horses of Dali can be bought, but the Yunnan horses are short. It's okay to run in the mountains. Can be used in cavalry encounters with the Northlands Legion. It's not suitable. The Great Song Dynasty has money and people, but can not buy horses, so the country has been established for many years, has been suffering the loss of cavalry, when the old Zhong Xianggong and Yang Lao Linggong are the scarcity of cavalry, can only use infantry formations to resist the Liao, even if they win the battle, because there is no cavalry, they can not achieve greater results. Today. The total number of cavalry in the two capitals of the Great Song Dynasty plus the border army was less than 20,000, and these cavalry were still reluctant, and they could not reach the Cheng dù of one person with two horses or even one person with three horses. The destruction of one-third of the elite riders overnight can be described as a great loss of vitality. Others don't know, but the seed master Dao knows very well in his heart that without the sharpest spear under his hand, the tens of thousands of troops on the East Road can only be stationed in the area of the Baigou River, and they are unable to attack the Liao.

In the battle of Langoudian, the five thousand elite cavalry were almost all wiped out, which can be said to have shocked the hundreds of thousands of troops near Gaoyang. That's more than 5,000 fine riders, and they were almost wiped out by the Liao people overnight like chopping melons and vegetables. Word spreads. There are signs of instability in the hearts of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, although in the past hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty rarely went to war with the Liao, and if there were any, it was only a small-scale conflict, but in the past, the Song and Liao wars, the Great Song Dynasty won less and lost more, especially after the death of Yang Lao Linggong and Lao Xianggong, the Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as a repeated defeat, otherwise there would be no alliance of the Yuanyuan. The people in the south haven't felt much yet, but the people in the north know that the Liao people are cruel, and young people have heard their ancestors talk about how terrible the Liao iron cavalry is since they were young, and that kind of fear is almost from the heart, and there is already some fear, and now the battle of Langoudian has deepened this psychology. In this regard, Tong Guan didn't have much to do, but there was a way, which was to cut off Yang Keshi to be the heart of the army, but Yang Keshi was his henchman's favorite general, this person fought bravely and made a lot of contributions, if he didn't protect him, wouldn't it make his generals feel cold?

On April 16 of the third year of Xuanhe, the climate in the northwest had become unusually warm at this time, and Zhao Yougong sat in the tent, pondering how to deal with the possible crisis. In the past two days, the two thousand cavalry of the Liao State have been active in the area of the Zhuchuan River, and there are signs of a surprise attack on the Caocheng River, two thousand cavalry, of course Zhao Yougong did not put it in his eyes, the fatal thing is that he has not taken Fengzhou, Fuzhou and Linzhou now, and he does not dare to expose the strength in his hands, so to drive away these two thousand cavalry, you have to think of some evil tricks, which will not cause Cai You and others to be vigilant, and do not need to lose too much, it is not so easy.

Before she could think of any good way, Azhu hurriedly walked in, holding a letter in her hand, and a special flower stamp was drawn on the corner of the letter, "Your Highness, the news just sent by the intelligence department, the person who came said that it seems to be very important, let you prepare early." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yougong couldn't help frowning, instinctively feeling that it was not a good thing, because all the news of the intelligence department had to be seen by Nian Nu'er herself, and she would pick some important information to send, as for the information specially instructed, it was rare. When I opened the two eyes of the letter and browsed it roughly, the smiling face that was originally soft gradually became gloomy, the hand holding the letter kept trembling, and the face became tighter and tighter, becoming extremely hideous. The whole tent became extremely quiet, and Ah Zhu and Mu Wanqing were all frowning, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After a long time, Zhao Yougong shouted violently and slammed it on the bookcase, and the poor bookcase instantly turned into two halves, "What a pig, a pig, my Great Song has such a general, how can I win?" ”

Zhao Yougong has no sense of belonging to the so-called imperial court, but he cares very much about those ordinary soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, because one day in the future, these soldiers may fight for him Zhao Yougong. But just a few days ago, because of a Yang Keshi, more than 5,000 elite riders were buried in vain, and those more than 5,000 elite riders were all cowards and waste? How can it be? It is 5,000 untrained strong men, riding together on horses, and they can also bite off a piece of meat on the Liao people, but such a large cavalry was silently wiped out by Yeluchun, that is more than 5,000 people, and the blood alone can stain the entire Langoudian.

In the past, he always felt that the Great Song Dynasty couldn't fight because the soldiers were too weak, but today he felt that it was not that the Great Song Dynasty didn't have a good son, but that there were too many wastes standing on it, and for people like Yang Keshi, no matter how brave he was, what was the use? When Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, he once said a sentence, willing to use greedy officials, not mediocre officials, and now that Yang Keshi is a typical servant, who looks quite capable of rushing and fighting, but in fact, he doesn't know how to do it at all, and it is not as good as Tong Guan, who is greedy for money.

The letter fell to the ground, the Wood Lady bent down to pick it up, and looked at it with Azhu, and the two women also smoked together, even a person like the Wood Woman who didn't know about military affairs knew that Yang Keshi should die, but in fact, Yang Keshi was actually saved. As for why Yang Keshi survived. It's all the credit of Tong Guan. Obviously, Yang Keshi is greedy for merit. Tong Guan waved his pen and wrote an ambush in his meritorious heart. It's just four different words, it's a different fate.

Mu Wanqing shook her head and snorted bitterly, "It's really interesting, Yang Keshi is like this, he can live well, but there are more than 5,000 cavalry." It's a real injustice to die. ”

Injustice? Of course wronged, but Zhao Yougong is afraid that this is just the beginning, and now that the master is sick, all the command is in the hands of Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing, if this battle continues, I don't know how many innocent people will die in the future. I was worried, but I couldn't take care of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Hebei side, since Nian Nu'er sent this news, it was definitely not for him to complain. The destruction of the five thousand elite cavalry is estimated to be able to break Emperor Huizong's dream of recovering Youyan peacefully. In order to lift the morale of the army, no matter what. Tong Guan also has to do something, otherwise how to explain to Zhao Ji and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command?

The big war is about to start, and the opportunity for him Zhao is also close at hand, exhale, and shout out, "Sanniang, come in!" ”

Hearing the shout, Sanniang lifted the curtain and walked in, she arched her hand and said, "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

"You personally went to Dayangtan to tell Xiao Zhiyun and Han Shizhong, and ordered them to immediately prepare to send troops to capture Yan'an Mansion and the Suide army, and go north to meet the king to seize Linzhou and other places. In addition, send a letter to Zhang Shiping in Tongzhou, and after the soldiers and horses of Dayangtan and Longmen go north, let Niu Gao capture Tongguan and Hangu Pass as quickly as possible. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go!" Hu Sanniang took the order and left, Zhao Yougong pulled Ah Zhu over, and whispered, "Girl, you go and find Yu Lai, let him find more big drums and gongs, as long as it can be sounded, bring it." ”

"Okay" Although Azhu went to find Yu Lai very obediently, he still had a lot of questions in his heart, what the hell is His Highness thinking?

After Ah Zhu left, Yang Zaixing called two guards to help carry out the broken bookcase, and the wooden woman sat on the soft cushion, played with the long sword in her hand, squinted and asked, "Thief, what do you do with the drum and gong, aren't there some war drums in the army?" ”

"Hehe, what is the specific use, you will know in two days" Zhao Yougong sold a pass, lay on the mat and stretched his arms, pillowing the beautiful legs of the wooden woman, very comfortable, "Wan'er, can you discuss it with your master?" When did you marry this king? ”

Mu Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, her face was a little blushing, looking at the thief's black eyes, how could she not know what the hell he was doing? The Wood Lady has always looked down on the rules of the world, and she also wanted to taste the taste of men and women with the thief earlier, but the master said that she could only do that kind of thing after the wedding. Reaching out to pat Zhao Yougong's face, the Wood Lady pouted, pretending to have a cold face, and said angrily, "You thief, don't think about those shameful people." ”

"Hey, Wan'er, this is your mistake, this king is very serious, why are you ashamed, don't you want to marry this king?" As he spoke, his face changed, and he glared at him viciously, "Say, do you have a crush on any little white face again, say it quickly, this king will go and kill him." ”

"Hehe, yes, it's the little white face surnamed Duan, you go to Dali and kill him" The wood girl is very bad, she has always felt that the little white face called Duan Yu is particularly annoying, when Dali met, that guy kept making noise, but fortunately he was sent to Xixia later, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been annoyed.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, knowing that the wooden girl is a liar, but he still chuckles in his heart, it is really Duan Yu's little white face who is too feminine, it is simply another Duan Zhengchun, fortunately I knew Wan'er early, otherwise the pure Wan'er might really be hooked up by Duan Yu's little white face. sat up, hugged the slightly plump body of the wooden woman, and said affectionately, "Wan'er, that kid Duan Yu is used to talking, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, so you don't have to be coaxed by him." Oh, that Duan Yu is in Dali, right, when this is over, this king will go to Dali to destroy him. ”

The Wood Lady giggled when she heard this, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head and glanced at her coquettishly, "Thief, what about Duan Yu, you are not the same, it's only been a year, how many women have you taken home?" ”

"It's wronged, it seems that there are only two, and Xiao Zhiyun's master and servant can be counted as one, right?"

"Hmph, quibble, whatever you want, thief, I will talk to you in front of me, if you dare to bear me one day, I will not kill you, but I will kill your woman"

Looking at the big coquettish eyes of the Wood Woman, King Zhao Xiaojun was covered in hair, and he really didn't want to provoke anyone, his eyes rolled, and he quickly swore, "Don't worry, the woman is so powerful, how dare Xiaosheng?" ”

"Count you smart" Sometimes she knew it was a lie, but the wooden woman was still very happy, she looked up with a smile, and Zhao Yougong consciously put her mouth over.

At three o'clock on April 16, Dayang Beach had already returned to silence, and Xiao Zhiyun had just rested when she heard Ana knock on the door. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Ana doesn't have the courage to disturb Xiao Zhiyun's rest in the middle of the night, she knows the princess's temper, the princess likes to be quiet when she is young, especially when she is resting, she hates being disturbed the most, and she will hold her breath whenever she is disturbed.
