Monument Yangmen

Chapter 744 The Battle of Drama

In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.

After Yang Qi led his troops to Youzhou City, he stayed still.

Except for Jiao Zan to call for formation every day, there are almost no military operations.

Not only that, they also got together in groups of three or four and played sepak takraw.

Two dragon gates, dozens of people confronted each other, and nearly 10 people watched with enthusiasm, bursting into applause frequently.

Cuju, an entertainment item, was already a very popular entertainment item in the Song Dynasty, and some dark villages similar to gambling were even derived.

A few princes of aristocratic families led the slaves to form one after another tyrannical Cuju team, having a great time playing.

Yang Qi and his soldiers had a great time playing these three days.

The army cleverly and secretly set up a handicap, attracting a bunch of people to place bets.

Yang Qi turned a blind eye to this.

However, the soldiers under Yang Qi's command were overjoyed, while Brother Yeluxiu on the top of the wall was overjoyed.

After three days, Yang Qi outside the city did not move at all, which made Yeluxiu even more convinced that Yang Qi must have some kind of conspiracy.

But he sent a large number of people to investigate, and the information he detected was scattered, and there was no useful information at all.

This annoyed Brother Yeluxiu.

As a commander-in-chief on the battlefield, if you can't clearly understand the enemy's secret conspiracy, you will easily suffer, and it will be a big loss.

It's like knowing that the enemy has dug a big hole for him, but he doesn't know where the big hole is.

And the longer the time delays, the bigger the hole dug by the enemy is likely to become.

In this case, it is easy to be led by the nose by the enemy when fighting.

Brother Yeluxiu is considered a master in this way, and he used this method of digging holes to ruin the Imperial Army of Song Dynasty step by step.

But now Yang Qi used his strategy to deal with him, which made him a little uneasy.

"Have you found out yet?"

Brother Yeluxiu asked Yelumou Lu Gu angrily.

Aunt Yelumo Lu lowered her head with a gloomy expression, "This subordinate is incompetent, I implore you to punish him."

"Punishment. Punishment is useless. If punishment is useful, this king would have already cut you to pieces. If you don't go down and continue to investigate!"

"This subordinate will go..."

Under the coercion of Yelu Xiuge Huwei, Yelu Mou and Aunt Lu fled down the arrow tower in disgrace.

As soon as he got off the archery tower, Aunt Lu of Yelu Mou bumped into the commander of the army. He frowned and asked, "Shi Zong, why are you so reckless? Da Yue is in a very bad mood these days, please don't be afraid." Touch the mold, otherwise you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around."

Commander Shi Zong said with a bitter face: "The fire is almost burning to the brows, I still have the mind to take care of these..."

Aunt Lu Mou asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

After a pause, Aunt Yelu Mou seemed to have thought of something. He widened his eyes and said in astonishment, "Another person was assassinated?"

Commander Shi Zong nodded helplessly.

"In three days, 16 officials from the fifth rank and above died, and countless officials from the fifth rank and below. If this continues, the officials below the fifth rank in Daliao will probably die..."

"It's not normal."

"Who says it's not? But those assassins are all dead men, and so far none of them have been caught alive. And the officials who were killed are all over the whole territory of Daliao. It is very difficult to dig out the person who planned all this behind the scenes. Difficult!"

"At the time of this great war, some people took advantage of this to cause chaos, and the picture was not small..."

Aunt Lu Mou hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "You really have no idea at all?"

Commander Shi Zong was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it, but he thought of the identity of Aunt Yelvmou Lu, and said in a deep voice: "Most of the assassins discovered so far are Han Chinese...the man behind this matter , must also be a Han Chinese.

As for the turmoil in my Daliao, there are only two Han people who can benefit the most. "

"Who?"

"Yang Yansi! Han Derang!"

Aunt Yelvmou Lu stared at her in astonishment, and said in horror, "Did you tell the Queen Mother about this?"

Commander Shi Zong nodded, "I have already told the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked me to come over and ask what Dai Yue meant."

Aunt Lu of Yelumou had a gloomy face, and said in a low voice: "If this matter was done by Yang Yansi, it would be better. But if it was done by Han Derang, then..."

Aunt Yelumou didn't say what Aunt Lu said later, but the meaning was clearly expressed.

If Yang Qi was responsible for the assassination of officials in Daliao, that would be fine.

After all, even if Yang Qi sent people to kill the officials of Daliao, it would at most make Daliao chaos for a while, but it would not affect the foundation of Daliao, at most it would affect the war between Daliao and the four northwestern prefectures.

But if Han Derang did it, it would be terrifying.

The three generations of the Han family were officials in Daliao. His grandfather was an official in Zhongshuling, his father was named King of Qin, and he himself was named Duke of Chu.

The Han family had already unknowingly become a deep-rooted wealthy family in Daliao.

The Han family tree has deep roots and is firmly rooted in Daliao.

The power of the Han family even vaguely surpassed some of the weaker Khitan eight families.

Therefore, if Han Derang took advantage of this opportunity of the war, he planned something behind his back.

Then Daliao may be in danger. .

"Go to Da Yue quickly, tell him about this, and let him be on guard."

Thinking that it would be terrible if the Han family had a different heart, Yelumou Lu Gu urged the commanding army envoy Shi Zong to find Brother Yeluxiu.

Commander Shi Zong nodded and hurriedly boarded the archery tower.

Aunt Lu, Yelumou, stood alone, frowning in a daze.

For a moment, he felt that the powerful Daliao Kingdom seemed to be in a precarious situation.

On the arrow tower.

Shi Zong, the commander of the army, told Brother Yeluxiu everything he knew and guessed.

Brother Yeluxiu clenched his fists subconsciously after listening to Shi Zong, the envoy of the commanding army, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his face looked extremely ferocious.

Shi Zong, the commander of the army, was shocked when he saw this.

Ever since he came to work under Brother Yeluxiu's tent, he had never seen such a ferocious face of Brother Yeluxiu.

In the past, Brother Yeluxiu always had a high-ranking but calm expression.

Even though he was stabbed in the thigh by Yang Qiyi outside the Yanmen Pass before, he still laughed and chatted happily with the people around him, and let the imperial doctor use knives and guns on him.

And every time the soldiers saw Yeluxiu's calm expression, they would face it bravely no matter how difficult the situation was.

But this time, Brother Yeluxiu suddenly lost his composure, which made Shi Zong, the commander of the army, have a bad feeling in his heart.

Brother Yeluxiu didn't have the heart to take into account the mood of Shi Zong, the commander of the army.

He clenched his fists tightly and shouted angrily: "Damn Yang Yansi, you actually used such a despicable method."

Shi Zong, the commander of the army, was obviously a little confused when he heard the words. He tentatively said: "Da Yue means...the frequent assassinations of officials in Daliao are due to the people sent by Yang Yansi?"

Brother Yeluxiu looked angrily at Commander Shi Zong, "Who else is he? Do you think it's Han Derang? If Han Derang is so stupid, what qualifications does he have to be the assistant minister?
Now that the war is imminent, if Han Derang stirs up the wind and rain in the country, he will only let Yang Yansi reap the benefits in the end. "

Shi Zong, the commander of the army, heard the words, and said in admiration: "The greater the more, the clearer you can see thousands of miles."

Brother Yeluxiu waved his hands irritably, "Go down...send someone to tell the officials in the country to be careful, and bring more guards when they go out. Also, if anyone is caught, I will send this king to a secluded place. In Zhoucheng, this king wants to interrogate himself."

Commander Shi Zong said solemnly: "This subordinate will do it now."

Shi Zong, the commander of the army, left.

The irritability on Brother Yeluxiu was swept away, replaced by a look of gloom.

"Handrang..."

Brother Yeluxiu whispered Handerang's name.

Although he insisted in front of Shi Zong, the commander of the army, that Yang Qi was responsible for the assassination of officials in Daliao, but he did not give up his doubts about Han Derang in his heart.

Even Brother Yeluxiu had more doubts about Han Derang than Yang Qi.

Yang Qi threatened to take Yanyun Sixteen States, so it is very likely that Yang Qi only wanted to go to Yanyun Sixteen States.

Yang Qi's strength is not enough to support him to seize the entire Daliao.

Yang Qi has rules and regulations in his work, advances and retreats in an orderly manner.

From what he's done, a lot of what he does is risky.

But if you analyze it carefully, you will find out.

Yang Qi actually prefers to do things steadily.

Yang Qi is not a person who likes to take risks.

On the other hand, Han Derang.

Handerang can be said to be the biggest careerist in Daliao.

After Han Derang became an official, he was promoted frequently.

There are many disgraceful methods used.

Relying on some dishonorable means, he was promoted repeatedly, and finally entered the center directly, and sat on the same position as Brother Yeluxiu.

Not only that, but as far as Brother Yeluxiu knew, Han Derang was plotting behind the scenes to turn the Eight Khitan Clans into the Nine Khitan Clans.

He wanted the Han family to become the largest Liao nobleman after the Yelu family and the Xiao family.

It's just that Han Derang's actions obviously touched the interests of the eight Khitan tribes, so they were collectively resisted by the eight Khitan tribes.

In the entire Daliao, except for Empress Dowager Xiao, no one would be willing to let Han Derang's Han family become the ninth Khitan family.

With no hope of promotion in the Han family, Han De asked him to do something out of the ordinary, and Brother Yeluxiu could figure it out.

Therefore, Han Derang was very suspicious of the assassination of the Daliao officials this time.

However, Yang Qi, who was the instigator, didn't know that he sent the scarecrow and the volcano guard to prevent the assassination, and was suddenly suspected by Brother Yeluxiu of Han Derang.

If he knew about this, he would probably be able to wake up laughing from his sleep.

But at this moment outside Youzhou city, in the Chinese military camp in the four northwestern prefectures, Yang Qi was indeed smiling, very happy.

"Hahaha……"

Yang Qi was holding a secret performance in his hand, laughing loudly.

"Yanzhou has already been captured, and the city walls of Zhao State during the Warring States Period have all been controlled by our army. The first step of the third brother's plan has been completed. And the third brother himself has entered the second brother's army, and the second brother will form an alliance. Now the two He is leading the soldiers and horses to go secretly to Jizhou and Tanzhou. Once Tanzhou and Jizhou are captured, Brother Yeluxiu will really become a turtle in the urn."

"Hahaha……"

Peng Pai was also cheerful. He had already read the news on the secret report, so he naturally knew what happened.

Peng Pai said in admiration: "The Sixth Young Master is simply a god-man, and it took 300 people to destroy Yanzhou City..."

Yang Qi corrected Peng Pai with a smile: "No, no, there are not only 300 people, but also [-] cows."

Some people may have doubts, what does Yang Liu's siege have to do with cattle?
So I have to talk about Yang Liu's tactics for attacking Yanzhou City this time.

Yang Liu went north along the city wall of Zhao State during the Warring States Period, and basically encountered no opponents.

Previously, these places were beaten by the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the defenders were either subdued by the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, or all were killed.

After the Liao Kingdom took back these places, because they were eager to catch up with Zhao Guangyi, they did not allocate extra troops to control these places.

This allowed Yang Liu to pick up a bargain, and picked up Yanzhou along the way.

Yanzhou can be said to be a hard bone blocking the road of Yang Liu's conquest.

Yang Liu is not willing to spend too much force on the tough bone of Yanzhou. After all, the real enemy in his heart is Brother Yeluxiu and other big bosses of the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, after Yang Liu arrived in Yanzhou, he was not in a hurry to attack Yanzhou.

Instead, he dispatched [-] fine cavalry, drove [-] captured cattle, and showed off in Yanzhou swaggeringly.

[-] cows are an astonishing wealth for anyone in the Liao Kingdom.

The guard of Yanzhou City, seeing that Yang Liu was weak, became malicious.

He secretly brought 3000 people and quietly left Yanzhou City to snatch Yang Liu.

However, when they found Yang Liu.

Yang Liu ordered the ox tail to be lit.

Then, the [-] soldiers and horses in Yanzhou City, and the [-] fine cavalry to deal with, became [-] mad cows.

No matter how strong the [-] soldiers and horses in Yanzhou City are, they still have to kneel in the face of [-] mad cows.

In the end, they were trampled into meat by mad bulls.

Yang Liu led people to visit Yanzhou City all night.

With the help of the scarecrows and Huoshanwei's spies lurking in the city, he successfully deceived the city gate and took Yanzhou City in one fell swoop.

In short, the whole battle was obviously a battle full of wisdom, but it always felt like a comedy.

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this.

Yang Liu captured Yanzhou City, and the front on the left was completely opened.

There is no need for Yang Da's 10,000+ troops to continue to defend Yunzhou.

With the iron wall of Yanzhou, Yang Da can enter Xinwu with peace of mind.

As long as you win the second state of Xinwu.

The vicious circle formed by the city walls of Zhao and Qin in the Warring States period was completely controlled by Yang Qi.

At that time, even if there is anything wrong with Yang Qi's battle in Youzhou City, it will not affect the ownership of the several states that the left side has already captured.

Immediately, Yang Qilang commanded Peng Pai: "Pass on our military order, order Yang Yanping to lead the Fuxing Army, Longshou Army, and the scattered troops of the two regiments under his command, and go north to capture the three prefectures of Xinwuwei."

Weizhou is sandwiched between Yanzhou and Yingzhou. Under normal circumstances, it is easy to be ignored, but Yang Qi did not forget its existence.

Although it has a low sense of presence, it is actually a large and populous state in the Sixteenth Yanyun Prefecture.

"promise!"

Peng Pai ordered the military order and went directly to convey the order.
