Chapter 148 What Determines the Battle Array is Interest
Dozens of Northern Liao scouts were besieged, and in a fight, more than ten escaped, and others died in battle.

"Lang Jun, there is not a single prisoner."

The old thief looked solemn, "Beiliao has high morale and is willing to die."

"Damn, it's not a good stubble!"

This was the Taiping Army, and it was also the first time that Yang Xuan fought with the Northern Liao people in a serious manner.

The scouts were brought in.

"Thank you for saving your life."

Team is looking pale, but still unabated.

"The Ming family thinks it's strange that there are no prisoners?"

Yang Xuan nodded.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "The scouts will not be captured, nor can they be captured."

"Why?" asked the old thief.

The team was throbbing in pain from the wound, grinning.

"Both sides will use the cruelest means to torture each other's scouts, and they will die in the end, and no one will be left. Therefore, it is better to die in battle than to be tortured to death."

Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "Good man!"

The team was clasping their hands together, and said happily, "Your Majesty beheaded one of the enemy generals today."

"I really want it!"

Yang Xuan turned around, "What should I do if I meet such a good man from Tang Dynasty?"

"color!"

Amidst the cheers, the team members cupped their hands, "Thank you Yang Mingfu for saving your life, I will have the opportunity to repay you next time."

Yang Xuan returned with people.

At this moment, Tao County has become a large military camp, and the troops drawn from all over the northern border are gathered here.Coupled with the army in the base camp, it can be called a strong army.

Yang Xuan took several people to the outside of Jiedushi's mansion.

"Yang Ming Mansion."

The sergeant guarding the gate glanced at him, "The others are waiting outside."

Yang Xuan went in alone.

Inside, there are three steps, one post, and five steps, one post.

The atmosphere of the battle was very strong.

A group of officials and generals stood outside the lobby, all of them low-level.

Yang Xuan saw Zhang Du, went up and asked, "Where's Lao Jiang?"

Zhang Du enviously said: "It's inside! I don't know when I can go in and participate in the discussion."

There are big bosses inside, Yang Xuan is not qualified to enter.

"Have you heard everything?"

"Understood."

"So, go back and rectify, and send troops tomorrow."

"Leader!"

The meeting broke up inside.

When Jiang Cunzhong came out and saw Yang Xuan, he slapped him on the shoulder, "How about going out to spy today?"

"Not much." Yang Xuan looked disappointed.

"I can already smell blood." Jiang Cunzhong scolded with a smile, "By the way, Zhong Cheng seems to be in a bad mood, so be careful."

"There are numbers."

Brother is really reliable.

King Wei came out, glanced at Yang Xuan, and then went to his residence.

Liu Qing came out, saw him and said, "Come to the old man's room later."

"The old man wants to love you." Suzaku opened his poisonous tongue.

"I turned off the phone."

Yang Xuan threatened as he walked over.

"Zhongcheng, Taiping Yang Xuan is asking to see you."

Huang Chunhui, who had just finished explaining, was drinking tea exhaustedly, and nodded upon hearing this.

Deputy envoy Liao Jin pointed to Yang Xuan outside the door, "Look at Zhongcheng, this young man seems to be jumping even while standing, damn it, it reminds me of my youth."

"How did the old man hear that you did all kinds of bad things when you were young, even dared to spy on women taking a bath."

"This is slander!"

"Ha ha!"

The two big brothers were joking when they were tired.

Yang Xuan came to salute.

"The lower official was sentry before, and when more than [-] scouts from the Liao army chased and killed our army's scouts, the lower official killed more than [-] enemies."

"How about the Liao Army?"

"The Liao army dared to fight, and they were not afraid of death."

Huang Chunhui looked at Liao Jin, "It's still the same Beiliao, still so fierce. If it wasn't for Emperor Wu's counterattack back then, the north of the Tang Dynasty would be full of wars. Now that I think about it, those people in Chang'an urged me to fight because they are also worried that this Beiliao will become a big war again. Tang scourge."

"It's just the timing is wrong."

Liao Jin was a little dissatisfied, "The court has given too much support to Southern Xinjiang, but what is there in Southern Xinjiang? Southern Zhou did not dare to blatantly invade Datang, those tribes just smashed it piecemeal. Northern Liao is the threat to Datang."

Huang Chunhui rubbed his brows and muttered.

"Many people confuse country with family."

The current situation in northern Xinjiang is not the strategy of Datang, but the destruction of some people.

Liao Jin said: "Beiliao on the opposite side must have noticed the movement of food and grass this time, but it will take time to mobilize people from Ningxing, so we have to do it as soon as possible."

Huang Chunhui nodded, "He Lianfeng has frequently harassed northern Xinjiang in the past few years, and there are many considerations in it. However, after all plans, we must use our strength to speak."

Yang Xuan couldn't help nodding.

Liao Jin looked at him, "Do you have something to say?"

Yang Xuan is just a small shrimp, if the boss doesn't speak, he is not qualified to speak.

"Xiaguan thought of a word...Swords and guns are justice."

Huang Chunhui glanced at him, "It's interesting."

Yang Xuan resigned.

He went to find Liu Qing.

Liu Qing is drinking tea.

"This is probably the last day of peace."

Liu Qing pointed to the teacup opposite, Yang Xuan thanked him, he toasted his lips, thinking about what Huang Chunhui and Liao Jin said earlier.

Huang Chunhui seemed to be forced to attack this time, and Liao Jin supported using a surprise attack to solve the problem quickly and stop Chaozhong's mouth.

Seeing that he was thinking, Liu Qing didn't care. After drinking the tea, he asked, "How do you feel?"

"Some excited, but also a little nervous."

"The old man has some too."

"It's just a joke to make you old in battle."

"I'm not joking." Liu Qing coughed dryly, "The most important thing in this battle is planning. Zhongcheng's eye bags are getting bigger, so it can be seen that he has worked too hard for this. How will Beiliao respond? Will Helianfeng raise an army? For a decisive battle, when will the army arrive... When the army is dispatched, any decision may lead to a big victory or a big defeat. As a general, you must be cautious."

"Yes."

Yang Xuan felt that Lao Liu was really kind to him.

"This time, the old man leads Zuo Yuhou's army of 5000 people, on the left wing of the army. The old man wants to tell you that the ferocity of the Northern Liao Dynasty is not comparable to that of the three major ministries, so be more cautious."

"Yes."

Yang Xuan felt that old Liu was becoming more and more kind.

"get out."

All kindness will inevitably turn into evil in the end.

Yang Xuan returned to his place and convened a discussion.

"This battle is being forced to fight. It's hard to guess how Beiliao will respond." The old thief held a book of war in his hand. Recently, he felt that he was in a bottleneck period and needed an opportunity to break through.

"Lang Jun, Beiliao used to be eager for a battle, but I'm afraid it will go all out in this battle." Nan He looked more professional.

"Zhongcheng said that the people in Chang'an were probably afraid that Beiliao would regain its former strength, so they forced Beijiang to send troops." Yang Xuanjue felt that these words were somewhat comforting. Defeated, let alone disgraced, Zhang Chumao can only dormant for several years, and the price is not small."

"Can they still force Huang Zhongcheng to send troops out of self-interest?" The old thief looked at Yang Xuan and Nan He.

"The emperor and his family of four surnames often fight in secret. I'm not surprised at all what those people can do." Nan He said.

"The key is which side Huang Zhongcheng is on." The old thief discovered the core of the problem.

Huang Chunhui... Yang Xuan recalled carefully, "The last time Zhang Chumao forced the palace, Deputy Envoy Liao testified."

"That's a school of its own." Nan He also thought about it, "Huang Zhongcheng has stepped up step by step, and his background is also simple. Such a person can be a military governor of the northern border, and he can be a role model for our generation."

Yang Xuan didn't know if there was someone behind Huang Chunhui, but he knew one thing, Huang Chunhui's presence was of great benefit to him.

"Let's all get ready."

Yang Xuan chased them away, sat under the window, and wrote letters after a long time.

The letter was addressed to Zhao Sanfu and Zhou Ning, and it basically contained good news but not bad news.

As for the war, it must not be mentioned at this moment.

After writing the letter, he went out and handed it to the old thief.

"Hey! Old thief, you also wrote a letter?"

Yang Xuan was greatly surprised.

The old thief was a little embarrassed, "It's for Lao Cao."

The envelope was written by Cao Ying, but there was a line of small characters underneath.

Look carefully to see.

——If the old man dies, forward the letter to Chang Sanniang.

Everyone went to bed early that night.

On the second day, when it was dark, Yang Xuan got up to have breakfast.

The streets were full of people, and outside the Jiedushi Mansion were mostly generals and officials.

"Eat quickly."

"If it doesn't work out, it will be the last meal."

"Damn! Who said that?"

After breakfast, everyone looked for their leader and returned to the team.

"Out of town."

Liu Qing led the team and set off.

This time he also brought with him the lieutenant general Zhang Lichun whom Yang Xuan had never dealt with.

Zhang Lichun was very cold. He glanced at Yang Xuan and nodded slightly.

Yang Xuan nodded in response.

5000 people lined up outside the city.

Yang Xuan also wanted to see how the army assembled, so he galloped over.

"Marquis Zuoyu's army stepped forward to meet the scouts."

"Leader!"

Zuo Yuhou's army set off.

In the team, Zhen Siwen took a deep breath.

Wang Lao Er asked, "Swen, what are you smelling?"

"I smell blood."

Zuo Yuhou's army was cruising on the left front of the army, and the scouts kept coming and going. Gradually, more scouts went and fewer came back.Even when they came back, many of them were wounded.

"The enemy rangers are coming."

Hundreds of enemy rangers appeared, driving away the Tang Army scouts.

Zhang Lichun suggested, "Emissary, it's time to respond."

Liu Qing nodded, "Yang Xuan, lead the guards and scouts."

"Leader!"

Yang Xuan rushed out with three hundred riders under his command.

"Little brat, go yourself too."

Liu Qing scolded with a smile.

Ahead, the enemy scouts hesitated after discovering Yang Xuan's troops.

"Attack!"

The two sides are getting closer.

"Slay the enemy general to establish prestige!" The enemy general shouted.

Yang Xuan was so conspicuous that he stood at the very front.

Liu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "Little brat, be cautious, be cautious..."

Zhang Lichun said: "My lord, the battlefield is ruthless, and the sword and gun have no eyes."

Liu Qing slowly looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhang Lichun's eyelids trembled a few times, "Be cautious."

The front is already approaching the enemy.

"Throw!"

The three hundred riders threw out what they were holding.

With the high-speed charge at this moment, those things accelerated and smashed into the middle of the enemy army.

The enemy general lowered his head, and the thing flew over his head.

"what!"

There was a scream from behind, and the enemy turned back.

A sergeant had an iron rod stuck in his face, no, it was some fucking iron scum!

——Taiping's furnace started to work, and the first furnace was completely scrapped. Yang Xuan was reluctant, so he ordered these hidden weapons.

Archery on horseback is very difficult, and the cavalry's hedging speed is too fast. If you shoot an arrow, you will encounter the enemy before you can draw your bow.

But we can use hidden weapons!
Just one click, dozens of enemy troops fell down.

So worth it!

Yang Xuan led the way, followed by Wang Lao Er and Nan He, and behind him was the old thief, so he rammed into it head-on.

Now don't worry about someone sneaking up behind you, just cut forward.

The enemy general gritted his teeth and struck with all his strength.

Seeing that Yang Xuan was young, he thought that based on his own experience, beheading this person should not be a problem.

Then a huge force came from the place where the long knives met, and then the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, and he involuntarily let go of his hand, and the long knives flew out.

The horizontal knife brushed past his neck, and then deftly lifted his head.

Yang Xuan held the head of the enemy general in one hand and raised it above his head.

"Wan Sheng!"

More than three hundred cavalry cheered.

"Wan Sheng!"

The Chenzhou army in this formation is also raising their arms and shouting.

"It's good to kill the enemy general." Liu Qing smiled reservedly.

He tried his best to bring Yang Xuan out, at this moment, Yang Xuan's bravery represented his outstanding vision.

"it is good!"

"Hey! This knife is as fast as lightning!"

"Hey! Killed out!"

Zhang Lichun was watching the battle, and Liu Qing beside him made comments from time to time, but Zhang Lichun found that most of them were aimed at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan rushed through the enemy formation, covered in blood, looking like a red man.

He rode his horse and turned around, his eyes were red.

"kill!"

"Withdraw!" Beiliao Ranger was just a test, and after reaching a conclusion, he retreated decisively.

"Throw again!"

Another wave of hidden weapons flew over, and more than twenty people fell off their horses.

Beiliao Ranger hasn't suffered such a big loss in recent years, it can be said to be disheartened.

A general turned his head while galloping, and cursed: "Damn it! I've never seen such a shameless Tang general!"

"How shameless!"

"Who is that?"

"It seems to be flying the Yang Ziqi."

"damn thing!"

"The scout who was besieged last time came back and talked about this person."

"So it's Yang Gou!"

Yang Xuan came back to reply.

"Be cautious." Liu Qing said with a cold face.

"Yes."

The old man seems to be in a good mood!

Yang Xuan noticed that Liu Qing's face was a little rosy.

Also hum a tune.

Is the old man talking about teenage madness?

"This is the first battle." Liu Qing seriously emphasized, "It's going to be a victory."

Only then did Yang Xuan realize that it turned out that Old Liu wanted to win the first prize.

The army walked slowly in the rear, and quickly returned.

"make persistent efforts."

Messenger also kept coming and going, bringing the latest battle situation.

"Youyuhou's army encountered [-] cavalry from the enemy, and the two sides fought and killed each other."

"You Yuhou Jun added."

After the First World War, it was necessary to supplement the sergeants, which is tragic.

Liu Qing didn't change his face, "This is the battle formation. Remember, the real battle formation has not yet begun."

Yang Xuan nodded and accepted the instruction.

"Ahead is Hongcheng!"

A small earthen city appeared ahead.

"Stop, tell the Chinese army."

Zuo Yuhou's army stopped.

"The scouts went around the Hongcheng sentry."

"Stare at the city gate and city head."

Zhang Lichun's command was very clear.

Liu Qing beckoned Yang Xuan over.

The old man sighed and said: "How many years, how many years have I not seen the city of Beiliao."

"Hongcheng is very small." Yang Xuan has already observed, "But the attack will cause a lot of losses."

"The old man knows." Liu Qing looked at the Northern Liao army on the top of the city, and said softly, "I didn't intend to attack the city."

"Then... do you want to attack the city?"

"Yes." Liu Qing turned around and glanced at the direction of the Chinese army. "Last time in the Taoxian battle, more than [-] enemy troops were defeated and many were beheaded, but Chang'an said that they did not take the initiative to attack. So this time we must break the city."

"That is to say, we are fighting here, but we are actually commanding those scumbags in Chang'an?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Scum is a good word." Liu Qing stroked his long hair that was blown away by the wind, and said with a smile: "Many times, it is not the general who decides the battle, but the interests."

Chang'an's emotions towards northern Xinjiang were very complicated. On the one hand, he wanted to kick away Huang Chunhui, who was not enterprising, but the emperor was worried that if Huang Chunhui was kicked out, the person who replaced him would be able to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang.

"Zhang Chumao's failure is not only due to the role of Deputy Envoy Liao, but His Majesty is also pushing the boat along."

Old Liu served him a big meal, which can be called a secret-like instruction to Yang Xuan.

Lao Liu is really nice to me.

Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Let's attack the city when the Chinese army arrives."

Liu Qing shook his head.

Looking at Yang Xuan.

"Go, take down Hongcheng!"
