Monument Yangmen

Chapter 704 Arrived in Youzhou
The destruction of Shuo City symbolized that the entire Shuo City had been incorporated into Yang Qi's territory, and the time spent in this process was less than seven days.

It was a heavy blow to Zhao Guangyi that the left army conquered a state first.

Especially looking at the description of the battle situation on the letter delivered by the messenger from Yang Da to Yang Qi, Zhao Guangyi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Blow through a city with one mouth.

Although this kind of thing is not unprecedented in history, it can even be said that it abounds.

But those who rely on a three-inch tongue to overcome the enemy and persuade the enemy to surrender are all people with a glorious history or profound knowledge.

What is that under Yang Qi's command?
An unbearably vulgar, full-bellied boss.

Throwing this kind of person in Bianjing City is a standard local ruffian.

It's just such a person who took down a city and the main city of a state with just one mouth.

This made Zhao Guangyi a little unacceptable.

Look at his subordinates, there are countless civil servants and fierce generals like clouds.

But he was stunned by a big boss, how could Zhao Guangyi bear it?

How could Zhao Guangyi, who was already extremely displeased with Yang Qi, be willing to be overwhelmed by Yang Qi?

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi ordered Cao Bin of the Central Army and Shi Shouxin of the Right Army to attack the Liao Kingdom with all their strength.

In fact, not only Zhao Guangyi couldn't accept this fact, even Yang Qi couldn't accept this fact a little bit.

As for that idiot Jiao Zan, who is often put up for single training because of his poor grades in studies, can he have the eloquence to persuade a city to surrender?
Am I ignoring talent, or is God playing a joke on me?
However, compared to Zhao Guangyi, Yang Qi didn't focus on this matter for too long.

What he valued more was what Yang Da mentioned to him at the end of the letter.

The defenders of Shuocheng surrendered, and the soldiers and horses were ready. Yang Da asked Yang Qi to allow another army to be formed, named Yanmen Army.

There are standards for the establishment of the army in the four prefectures of the Northwest.

Except for the most special cavalry army, the rest of the armies are basically [-].

Yang Da was able to propose another army, which meant that the number of the newly established Yanmen Army either exceeded the standard of [-], or was infinitely close to the standard of [-].

It is indeed a good thing for Yang Qi to have [-] more brave fighters.

Originally, the Zuo Army under Yang Qi's command was the weakest of the three armies in the Liao Conquest.

Now with the addition of this new force, the strength of Yang Qi's troops is slowly catching up with the right army.

Troop strength is a guarantee for the current left army.

What's more, after the war, once Yang Qi's territory expands, he needs to expand his army to guard it.

Now there is a ready-made one, how can it be done without reducing it?

Yang Qi immediately wrote back to Yang Da, not only agreeing to the establishment of the Yanmen Army.

At the same time, he also gave the name of the newly established mansion after the merger of Shuozhou and Huanzhou.

Yanmen Mansion.

Datong Military Town Datong Mansion.

Fuxing Army Town Fuxing Mansion.

Naturally, the Yanmen Army wanted to suppress Yanmen Mansion.

Yang Qi was not worried about whether his troops could successfully capture Huanzhou.

In his opinion, as long as Cao Bin's Chinese army can't break through Youzhou City.

Then the Shuo, Huan, Ying, and Yun states are in his pocket.

Others can't see through Yeluxiu's plan, so how can Yang Qi not see through it?

From the beginning to the end, Brother Yeluxiu never paid attention to the left and right wings.

All he really cared about was Cao Bin's Chinese army.

As far as the strength of the two sides is concerned, only Cao Bin's central army is qualified to be Yeluxiu's target.

Moreover, when necessary, Yeluxiu would even take the initiative to give up some cities on the two wings in order to lure Zhao Guangyi, who was hiding behind Cao Bin and commanding the battle, into the set.

Yang Qi has already seen through Brother Yeluxiu's strategy.

So Yang Qi can easily take advantage of Brother Yeluxiu's plan.

And the battle reports in the next few days almost confirmed Yang Qi's speculation.

Following Zhao Guangyi's order, the central army led by Cao Bin and the right army led by Shi Shouxin almost rushed forward with the whole army, attacking the city controlled by the Liao army all the way.

In three days, Shi Shouxin took down the right-wing state.

However, the Chinese army led by Cao Bin encountered a hard rock.

Youzhou.

Youzhou is the headquarters of the Han family. After the Han family became attached to the Liao Kingdom, they started their business on Youzhou.

So the Han family naturally attached great importance to Youzhou.

Now that Han Derang is leading an army and is stationed in Youzhou, how could it be possible for Cao Bin to snatch the city from him so easily.

Not only will he not let Cao Bin take the city away, but he is even ready to strike head-on.

The Han family not only planned the Liao Kingdom with all their hearts, but even coerced and lured all the generals in Youzhou to plan the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, in Youzhou, Cao Bin's central army did not encounter the kind of surrender that the left and right armies could encounter.

As Cao Bin's central army entered the territory of Youzhou, it was fiercely blocked by Youzhou's army.

Handerang gave full play to the advantages of Liao cavalry in Youzhou.

Harassment, raids, robbing food and grass, etc., almost all tactics that can give full play to the advantages of cavalry are used.

They stuck around Cao Bin's army like mangy dogs.

There will be raids and harassment anytime, anywhere.

But people know that they can't beat the Great Song Forbidden Army head-on, so they never confront the Great Song Forbidden Army head-on.

Under this continuous harassment.

It is difficult for Cao Bin's central army to advance at full speed, and even dispatched most of its troops to defend against the sneak attack of the Liao army at all times.

All in all, under the surprise attack of the Liao army, the soldiers of the Chinese army led by Cao Bin were really exhausted.

In addition, Han Derang also let people pollute water sources, poison, spread rumors and so on.

Anyway, Han Derang used all the methods available.

More decent people would think that these methods are too insidious and cunning.

But it was these insidious and cunning means that abruptly delayed Cao Bin's Chinese army from entering Youzhou to Youzhou City for ten days.

ten days later.

Cao Bin stared at the pressure from Zhao Guangyi's reprimand from behind, and finally arrived at the city of Youzhou.

Arrive at Youzhou City.

Cao Bin immediately asked people to set up camp on the spot, and arranged for the soldiers under his command to eat, drink, sleep well, and recharge their batteries.

After being tossed all the way by the Liao army, the soldiers were really tired.

It really doesn't take much effort to attack Youzhou City.

After the soldiers were settled down to sleep, Cao Bin also lay down in the big tent of the Chinese army and squinted.

This sleep is six hours.

Then, Cao Bin was awakened by the sound of a gong.

"The Liao people have come to steal the camp!"

"The Liao people have come to steal the camp!"

"The Liao people are coming!"

"..."

The screams in the camp startled Cao Bin to sit up from his sleep.

Regardless of putting on the armor, he rushed out of the big tent in obscene clothes.
