Chapter 871: Meat to the Mouth
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire Hedong region was turbulent, and the four armies were like arrows, and the situation became increasingly dangerous and complicated.
A forbidden army from Tokyo crossed the Yellow River to Luzhou, east of the river, with unknown troops and a large battle. It was learned from various sources that the coach appointed in Tokyo this time was not an old general, but a young man in his twenties, Dong Zunzhi, and deputy generals Zhou Tong, Deng Fei, and Li Jilong, Li Jilong was the son of the founding prince Li Chuyun, who was only a teenager. But on the other hand, this also proves that the Tokyo Imperial Court is very prepared for civil strife and does not dare to use generals with too high prestige!
Yang Ye of the Hedong Army ordered the withdrawal of troops from Yunzhou to defend Yanmen, and gathered tens of thousands of main forces in Daizhou, which was obvious; The Great Xu Forbidden Army in Luzhou should have come at him.
The Liao army was deployed in Fengzhou and Yunzhou, and Xiao Siwen, the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and Xiao Luli (the uncle of the Liao Emperor Yeluxian) led the main force into Yunzhou and forced Yanmen.
And the Gao Yan Department in Wuzhou (Zhangjiakou) also gathered troops on a large scale, ready to move, and the purpose was unknown.
The situation is complicated, but the main characters in Daizhou have some clues in their hearts.
In the eyes of Fan Zhongyi and others, they were sent to Yanmen to assist the Hedong Army in the uprising, and great things could be accomplished. Yang Ye and the others only waited for the Liao army to enter Yanmen so that they could close the door and beat the dogs.
"August 28th!"
Yang Ye and Fan Zhongyi and the others agreed, "On August 28, Ben will order his second brother Yang Chongxun to withdraw his troops from Yanmen on the grounds of changing guards, and the Liao army will definitely take the opportunity to enter Yanmen on the same day!" ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Gon suddenly said: "I suggest that all the people in the former camp military government be killed on the night of August 26, so as not to cause trouble in the season." ”
Yang Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said quietly, "How about killing after the matter is completed?" ”
Yang Gon didn't say a word, looked at Yang Ye's expression with great interest, and said after a while, "The marshal has done this far, the Tokyo counterinsurgency has arrived, and his face has already been torn, sooner or later he will be killed, what are the hidden dangers?" ”
At this moment, Yang Ye suddenly laughed "haha", stroked his palms and said: "What General Yang said is extremely true, almost a hundred secrets. ”
Yang Gon also smiled, but he smiled very deliberately, just smiling without smiling. Fan Zhongyi also laughed, "Don't worry, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" ”
Seeing off the two, Yang Ye immediately went to the front yard to see Lu Duoxun and Yang Chongxun who were waiting there.
"Yang Gon demanded that the officials of the former battalion military government be killed." Yang Ye didn't have anything else to say when they met, and said straight to the point.
Lu Duoxun and Yang Chongxun were both surprised, and Yang Chongxun hurriedly asked, "Did the eldest brother promise him?" ”
Yang Ye nodded yes.
Yang Chongxun immediately slapped his thigh: "Isn't this going to be exposed?" ”
"If you don't promise him right away, you'll be exposed on the spot!" Yang Ye frowned and said, "As soon as Yang Gon said this, I suddenly understood, he was really suspicious, and this matter was premeditated. I did two things before: first, I first looked at the detained military officials, not only to verify the authenticity of the officials, but also to remember their general appearance, so that they could be compared when killing; Second, when the letter was sent, there was an understatement in the letter, asking the second envoy to return to Yunzhou to see Xiao Siwen, and then the Liao army would re-enter Yanmen. ”
Yang Chongxun said: "In this way, whether you kill or not, you have to show flaws? ”
"Exactly." Yang Ye said, "If you don't kill, Yang Gon will think that it is a plan, and according to the original plan, the murder of those death row prisoners will also be recognized." ”
Yang Chongxun asked unwillingly: "What if Xiao Siwen didn't see the sentence in the letter (the person returned, the army only entered the customs)?" ”
"Alas, we neglected the person who delivered the letter, and that guy may have brought a message from Yang Gon." Yang Ye raised his head and sighed.
The three of them looked at each other and sat there very dullly, not moving.
Lu Duosun finally spoke: "Yang Gon, this guy has no traces of routines, and it doesn't show mountain dew......"
Yang Chongxun scolded: "He|mother|! Did you watch the meat fly to your mouth? ”
Lu Duoxun said: "The lower officials think that before the matter has reached the last step, they will immediately show the official family!" First release the carrier pigeons, and then send someone to send the letter quickly. ”
Yang Yedao: "For today's plan, there is no other way. ”
…… At the head of Yunzhou City (near Datong City), Xiao Siwen sat on a chair on the wall, looking at the endless wilderness to the south for a long time, without speaking or moving. Fields of harvested crops, barren grass, and occasional villages, the southern terrain is very open and flat. But at the end of the line of sight, Xiao Siwen knew that there was a tall mountain barrier, which was Yanmen Mountain; The most important passes to the east of the river and to the north are in this mountain.
Standing next to him is Xiao Luli, and the horse can only stand in front of Xiao Siwen, and now the only one with high power in Daliao will be Xiao Siwen.
Xiao Duli's deceased wife is the sister of Yelu Jing, the first emperor of the Great Liao, and from the perspective of the royal faction, this person is a member of the line of Liao Taizong; However, after all, he himself is also a member of the Xiao clan, and his wife has passed away, and he immediately voted for Xiao Siwen's party when he went to Beijing for the coup, so Xiao Siwen still trusts him very much...... The people who had been with Yelujing's family were conducive to wooing and appeasing Taizong.
It is difficult to figure out the internal fighting in Da Liao, and one of the reasons is that the marriage is very complicated like Xiao Luli's situation.
On the wasteland outside the city, the sound of horses' hooves was very obvious, and I saw a group of Liao cavalry running back to the city. Xiao Siwen looked at the group of horsemen with great interest, and said, "This place in Yunzhou is easy to throw away, and it is easy to hold. ”
Xiao Duli said: "At that time, Youzhou was defeated, the Great Liao Emperor was assassinated, the people were panicked, and the Yunzhou guards fled without a fight. Xiao Gong was kind and forgave him. ”
Xiao Siwen said: "No matter what civil strife, isn't it unusual to lose the city and lose the land? ”
He spoke calmly and calmly, and seemed very quiet, but his mind was already full of ideas. Wuzhou Gao Yanyan's movements should go to Yang Ye in Hedong. Carefully reported that Xu Guo's rebel army would go to Luzhou, and then it would pass through Jinyang and try to break through Xinzhou, at least ten days later; But time is also in a hurry, and Yang Gon and Fan Zhongyi have not yet returned with further news.
Xiao Siwen has great expectations for Yang Ye, but how can he not know the danger after so many storms in his battlefield officialdom? So far, he has not made up his mind, just waiting for Yang Gon to come back...... And they must wait until both of them arrive in Yunzhou before entering Yanmen Pass!
…… At the end of August, all the cities in Hedong were under martial law, and the people did not see the enemy army, but the atmosphere was already very urgent, as if people were overwhelmed.
Yang Chongxun could no longer stay in Daizhou, so he had to leave and go to Yanmen to command the troops.
On the evening of 26 August, a group of men and horses arrived at Yanmen Pass with the military orders of the commander Yang Ye, and escorted Yang Gon and Fan Zhongyi out of the pass. Yang Chongxun met the military general who delivered the letter first and took the lacquered letter.
When I opened it, there were only a few words inside: release people and act according to the plan.
Yang Chongxun saw that the military general who sent the letter was Yang Ye's personal general, so he asked in a deep voice: "The marshal killed someone?" Who was killed? ”
The general replied in a low voice: "The people I wanted to kill." ”
After hearing this, Yang Chongxun understood in his heart that there were dozens of officials of the former camp military government, and the officials were all officials of the imperial court, and Yang Ye still did not dare to kill them; I am afraid that even the emperor would not dare to kill innocent officials indiscriminately, there are too many people, and the impact will be too great.
Yang Chongxun asked again: "Did those two people see it with their own eyes?" ”
The general replied: "Locked up and killed, but those two went to see the corpse." Big night, flesh blurred ......"
"What?" Yang Chongxun was taken aback. Since Yang Gon had already premeditated, how could he easily deceive him?
Yang Chongxun looked at the letter paper under the lamp and reread it three times, and there were only a few words, which was really good!
He walked from the tower to the edge of the female wall, and the men and horses who were about to leave the city were on the main road, waiting for the order to open the city gate. Yang Chongxun looked at the two Liao envoys from a distance, and finally ordered: "My own people, open the door and let them go!" ”
When the defenders heard Yang Chongxun's order, there was soon a heavy sound of the door opening. The men and horses below continued to move forward, and Yang Gon rode on the horse, looking up at Yang Chongxun at the head of the city as he walked. The two looked at each other through the dim firelight for a long time, until Yang Gon walked into the corridor.
Now, I'm afraid there is nothing to be done...... The eldest brother is betting that Yang Gon didn't see anything strange?
Yang Chongxun left the female wall in the south, walked to the head of the city in the north, and continued to stare at the string of fires that were fading away. He was very unwilling in his heart! This trick to lure the enemy has been tossed for nearly a month, is that all?
It is unlikely that Yang Gon will not see the clues, and the Liao army is afraid that it will not come again!
"To fight a war, you have to fight from the front!" Yang Chongxun sighed with mixed feelings.
He stayed in Yanmen Pass for two more nights in a low mood, thinking about it all day, but he still couldn't let it go anyway.
On August 28, after Yang Chongxun got up, he tore open the secret order signed by Yang Ye sewn into his underwear: Yanmen Pass was guarded, and the roads in the mountains were narrow and congested, so the garrison general Yang Chongxun was ordered to evacuate the main force from Yanmen first.
He was about to finish the deployment in vain, when he suddenly slapped his head: After abandoning the Yanmen, will the Liao army have a counterplan?
The Liao people should have known from Yang Gon at this time that it was a plan to lure the enemy, but it was very likely that they would take the plan and pretend not to see through it, and transfer troops into the pass to find an opportunity to attack some Hedong troops...... Especially Yang Chongxun's troops, who had just withdrawn from Yanmen, not only faced the Liao army on the back of the belly, but also the army in the ravine could not be deployed, and it was a disaster to be attacked at this time!
The more Yang Chongxun thought about it, the more likely it became, anyway, after the Liao army entered Yanmen, the pass was in their hands, as long as they were careful and guarded, it was difficult to have any danger; And after the Liao people knew about the scheme, they couldn't help but be annoyed and ashamed, and took the opportunity to fight!
However, this plan was not only planned by his eldest brother Yang Ye, but also by the emperor. If Yang Chongxun disobeys, then he has to bear the responsibility alone! And as long as he acts according to military orders, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with him.
Yang Chongxun pinched the military order and stood at the door of the house, hesitating for a while.
He knew that he couldn't hesitate for too long, and if he delayed and waited until the Liao army arrived at the Yanmen Pass at the agreed time, and then decided to abandon it, what would happen to the soldiers? What will happen, Yang Chongxun has no bottom in his heart...... After all, ordinary soldiers don't know what to do to lure the enemy.
Do you want to go, or do you want to stay?
