Monument Yangmen

Chapter 483
Li Jiqian defeated Linzhou and withdrew his troops back to Dangxiang.

This is really great news for Guo Da.

Without Li Jiqian's deterrence, Guo Da could attack Fengzhou without any scruples.

The wild beggar is also a threat in Guo Da's heart.

However, the wild beggar is now being supported by Yang Qi.

Guo Da led the crowd to attack Fengzhou, and there would hardly be any obstacles.

Even if you can't win the whole territory of Fengzhou, you only need to win the two counties to the east of Fengzhou, plus three iron mines.

Guo Da's status in the vassal forces of the Xiao clan will rise in a straight line.

It is well known that Liao people are iron deficient.

Having made up his mind, Guo Da immediately summoned his troops and began to mobilize the army.

Not to be missed.

Guo Da deeply understands this truth.

The [-] Liao army, plus [-] servants of the Liao Han people, led by Guo Da, invaded the territory of Fengzhou.

Fengzhou, Shengzhou, Daizhou, the junction of the three states, Lao Yang, who is always concerned about the situation of the battle, scratches his head.

He was really itchy.

The newly integrated Datong army under him basically has [-]% of the recruits. If you want to quickly hone the recruits in your hands into elites, you must go through continuous war training.

Only an elite soldier who has been calcined by the flames of war will become a sharp sword.

Lao Yang is over half a hundred years old, and he has no time to carve the rough jade in his hands one by one. He can only speed up the process of honing elite soldiers through continuous battles.

However, he hurried to the junction of the three states, wanting to ask for a chance to fight, but no one gave him the chance.

Both Guo Da from Shengzhou and Yeqi Ganbo from Fengzhou seem to have subconsciously forgotten the existence of Daizhou.

Even the soldiers under their command chose to avoid Daizhou far away, and did not give Lao Yang any chance to attack.

"My lord, the villain thinks that you should take the Datong army back with you."

Lao Ge bared his toothless mouth and said something dryly.

Since Lao Yang seized his son's power and took charge of the Datong Army, Lao Ge has risen to become a personal soldier by Lao Yang's side, and has been responsible for serving Lao Yang.

Old Yang Da Ma sat in the temporary military tent with a golden sword, his face was as black as a stone, "I have been on the battlefield for many years, when should I send troops, when should I withdraw, and my mind is free, it is not your turn to teach this old man. "

Lao Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Master, it is completely different from the past. In the past, you led the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. When you went out to fight, the imperial court was responsible for all the supplies. Now you lead the Datong Army, which is just a boxer. Even though the army also ate the food and salaries of the imperial court, the salaries distributed by the imperial court were not enough for so many people to eat horses and chews.

We have spent more than half a month here, and we have made no progress at all. If we continue to spend, we will not have enough food and grass. "

With a dark face, Lao Yang said in a deep voice: "There is not enough food and grass, so we can collect food from Daizhou."

Hearing this, Old Ge's face became more and more depressed, "Master, the ruler of Daizhou is Seventh Lord, and Seventh Lord has handed over the affairs of Daizhou to Kou Zhun, that ungrateful guy. Let's do the same in front of Kou Zhun." It’s hard to say, there’s no way Kou Zhun will allow us to collect grain in Daizhou.”

"Oh!"

Lao Yang slapped the table and said angrily: "It's against him, the old man just asks him for it, can he still give it?"

Lao Ge couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, now that the spring plowing has just passed, and it's not time for the autumn harvest to collect grain, even if you ask him for grain, he has a reason to shirk. Can you still force him to grab grain from the people? He snatched it, and the soldiers of the Datong Army might not know how to eat it."

The soldiers of the Datong Army are all young and strong from the local people in Daizhou. If they really grab food from the local people in Daizhou, I am afraid they will rebel immediately.

Of course, that's what Lao Ge said, he was just explaining to Lao Yang the difficulty of collecting grain.

Lao Yang blew his beard and stared at him and shouted: "He is a state government office, and now he is building private schools, repairing bridges and repairing roads. The money he spends every day is tens of thousands of taels. Let him take out a little Is it that difficult to supply the army?"

Lao Ge said helplessly: "Master, my subordinates still say the same thing, now it is Lord Qi who takes care of things on behalf of the state, and all the money and food on behalf of the state are in the hands of Lord Qi. If Lord Qi doesn't let go, no one can get the money. "

Lao Yang stood up abruptly, staring and roaring: "What the hell, he's a little bastard, and he's riding on top of this old man? Send someone to find him now, and tell him to prepare three months' worth of money and rations for the Datong Army, otherwise Don't blame the old man for enforcing the family law."

Lao Ge was stunned, shook his head and said: "Master, Qi Ye has been missing for almost a month since he left the mansion that day."

Lao Yang said angrily: "A big living person disappeared for no reason?"

Wang Gui, who had just entered the tent, heard the conversation between Lao Yang and Lao Ge, coughed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Maybe my subordinates know Qilang's whereabouts."

Lao Yang and Wang Gui don't have so much politeness. The two have been fighting together for decades, and their relationship is deeper than that of brothers.

Hearing Wang Gui's words, Lao Yang immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Wang Gui cupped his hands, and said with a strange expression: "According to the report from his spies, Qilang is very likely to get mixed up with the revival army that is stirring wind and rain in Linzhou and Fengzhou.

According to the latest news, a few days ago, Dalang and Goro had contact with Shichiro at the southwest intersection of Daizhou and Toyosu.

Qilang handed over [-] war horses to Dalang and Goro, and also entrusted them with a large sum of property.

After Dalang and Wulang took over the war horses, they seemed to have no intention of returning to Daizhou.Instead, they brought war horses, covered the lines along Toyosu and Daizhou, and were gathering refugees who escaped from Toyosu.

According to the deduction of his subordinates, this revival army is likely to have been controlled by Qilang. "

Wang Gui couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

As far as he knew, when Yang Qi left Daizhou, he left alone.

Then, relying on him alone, within a short period of one month, he stirred up the situation in the northwest.

It can be said that the current chaotic situation in the Northwest was completely provoked by Yang Qi alone.

In this way, Yang Qi not only did not suffer any losses, but judging from the horses and belongings he sent back, he also gained a lot.

Even, he has taken control of a gradually tyrannical army.

These are unheard of things for Wang Gui.

He has never encountered that a person can make such a big commotion with his own strength.

Back then, when he first met Yang Qi, Yang Qi was just a fledgling little guy.

You have to ask him for help when you encounter a small matter, and even at the end, you need his help to finish it.

Now, in just a few years, Yang Qi has become so terrifying.

His methods are not weaker than those of the bigwigs in the court.

To describe it in four words, it is cloud and rain.

Hearing Wang Gui's words, the anger on Lao Yang's face froze, and he gave Lao Ge a wink.

Lao Ge understood, and hurried to the door of the tent, guarding the door to prevent others from eavesdropping.

After confirming that the tent was safe and sound, Lao Yang calmly asked Wang Gui, "Brother, is what you said just now true?"

Wang Gui nodded solemnly and said, "It's true."

Lao Yang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, tell me, what exactly does my son want to do?"

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, but stopped talking.

After all, some things are just speculations to him and have not been confirmed, so it is not easy to talk nonsense.

Old Yang seemed to have seen Wang Gui's thoughts, and he said solemnly: "Brother, you and I have known each other for many years. We are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. What do you have to hide in front of old brother? Say what you think of. "

Wang Gui hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "According to my understanding, during this war in the northwest, Zhejia won Linzhou."

Lao Yang frowned, and said angrily: "Is that little brat messing with the Zhe family?"

"Old brother!"

Wang Gui let out a low growl, and said solemnly: "The grievances between the Yang family and the Zhe family are no longer the point. The point is that the Zhe family won Linzhou."

"Sigh~"

After Wang Gui's reminder, Lao Yang understood the meaning of Wang Gui's words.

Now that the war situation in the northwest is chaotic, Zhejia took the opportunity to occupy Linzhou.

Then how could Yang Qi, who is very likely to be the instigator, be satisfied by a single army or tens of thousands of horses?
Old Yang turned pale with shock: "Brother, what do you mean... Qilang wants to take Fengzhou?!"

For Lao Yang, this was something that he didn't even dare to think about.

All his life, Lao Yang lived within the rules.

In the past, they lived in the rules of the Northern Han Dynasty. After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, they lived in the rules of the Song Dynasty.

But whether it is the rules of the Northern Han Dynasty or the rules of the Song Dynasty, one thing remains unchanged.

That is, with the permission of the imperial court, you have laid down a territory that does not belong to the imperial court, which is called expanding the territory.

However, without the permission of the imperial court, it is a felony to lay down a territory that does not belong to the imperial court.

Among them, there are many serious crimes such as mobilizing troops without authorization and provoking the discord between the two countries.

Wang Gui nodded solemnly, indicating that what Lao Yang said was exactly what he guessed in his heart.

Lao Yang was shocked and said: "This is not a good thing. If this matter is reported to the court, it will be a serious crime..."

Shocked, Lao Yang shouted anxiously: "No, I have to think of a way to call that rebellious son back. If he really takes Fengzhou down, it will be over."

"Old brother."

Wang Gui spoke suddenly, staring blankly at Lao Yang, and said in a deep voice: "This may be an opportunity for the Yang family. Moreover, as far as I know, Qilang is not a reckless person. Since he dared to do this , I must have already thought about how to end it."

Old Yang said angrily: "How can this matter be ended? Once Fengzhou is taken down, the label of trying to stand on its own feet and plotting evil will be put on the Yang family. Even if it jumps into the Yellow River, it will not be cleared away." and even be exterminated by the imperial court.

If one is not good, you and I, and even our family members, will have to be buried with us. "

The voice fell.

Lao Yang was ready to recruit people to arrest Yang Qi.

Wang Gui stepped forward and grabbed Lao Yang's arm.

Lao Yang froze for a moment, frowned and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Wang Gui said solemnly: "Old brother, listen to me first."

Lao Yang said coldly: "Is there anything else to say now, could it be that you also want to go crazy with that kid?"

Wang Gui let go of Lao Yang's arm, bowed and said, "Old brother, do you think that the Yang family has reached this point, is there any way out? In Bianjing, old brother, you did not hesitate to offend the dignitaries of the court, and made your ministers like lonely ministers." However, he was still framed and suppressed.

You retreat again and again, and the enemy keeps pressing you.

Up to now, the Yang family's [-] volcanic army has been exhausted, and the Yang family's title is gone.

Do you want to return?

If you retreat again, the Yang family will die. "

Lao Yang stared at Wang Gui with complicated eyes, as if he was meeting Wang Gui for the first time.

He said in a gloomy voice: "So what if you don't retreat? To learn from Wang Mang, or to learn from Huang Chao? This old man can do anything, even if it costs the lives of the whole family. But this old man is determined not to be a traitor. The reputation cannot be broken in the hands of the old man.

The old man can't let the future generations, so he can't hold his head up. "

"Hey~"

Wang Gui let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it, I can't persuade you, old brother. But I want to ask my brother. If Qilang retreats, can the cavalry of the wild beggar tribe stop Guo Da's Liao soldiers?"

Lao Yang proudly said: "If you can stop it, if you can't stop it, what do you have to do with me?"

Wang Gui said coldly: "Once the wild beggars defeat Fengzhou, Guo Da enters Fengzhou. Your Yang family and my Wang family will become eternal sinners."

Lao Yang raised his brows horizontally, he had heard Wang Gui's meaning from Wang Gui's words.

However, he still refused to admit defeat. He stiffened his neck and said, "Even if the Liao people enter Fengzhou, this old man will try his best not to let the Liao people take a single step."

"Hehehe~"

Wang Gui shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother, you are deceiving yourself and others. Back then when we guarded the Yanmen Pass, we were more than willing to face the Liao people.

Once the Liao people bypassed the Yanmen Pass, they entered Fengzhou directly.At that time, there will be no danger in the northern border of Daizhou.

Liao people are going south in a big way, how many people can you and I stop?
At that time, you can only let go of Daizhou and let the forbidden army enter.

Once the imperial army enters Daizhou, how will your Yang family gain a foothold?

Even these you can not care about.

But the infantry of the imperial army, against the Liao cavalry, especially on the plains of Daizhou and Fengzhou, who is stronger and who is weaker?

By that time, nearly 20 imperial troops must be stationed in Daizhou if they want to stop the Liao people from invading southward.

Do you think His Majesty will allow 20 imperial troops to be stationed in Daizhou given the special nature of our dynasty?

Will His Majesty allow the Forbidden Army to be controlled by others?
As long as the Forbidden Army is a little wrong, the Liao people can invade southward on a large scale.

At that time, the land of the Central Plains will surely be plunged into the flames of war.

The people of my Han family will also fall into dire straits.

Don't you see these? "

Lao Yang's eyes were wide open, his breath was short of breath, but he couldn't say a word.

He had to admit that what Wang Gui said was reasonable.

Wang Gui let out a long sigh and said, "Whether to become a thief of the family or a great thief of the whole nation is entirely up to my elder brother."
