Monument Yangmen

Chapter 934
"Hey……"

Yang Qichang sighed, and asked the maids to help Cao Lin go down to rest.

Cao Lin's mind was shattered into pieces, as if her soul had been taken away by someone, and she turned into a walking dead.

One side is the father, the other side is the son.

It's hard for her to be caught in the middle.

No matter which side wins, she will be hurt.

It is impossible for her to stop this war for the sake of the Cao family, and make Yan Guo frequently retreat, which will damage the interests of the country and the court.

It is even more impossible for her to stop Cao Bin, who has a domineering heart.

Yang Zongwei did not know when he appeared at the door of the imperial study.

Seeing Cao Lin leaving like a walking dead, he felt uncomfortable.

He took two steps forward slightly, walked to Yang Qi's side, and said worriedly: "Mother, she..."

Yang Qi said leisurely: "This is the royal family, everything is based on interests, and family affection is not worth mentioning in front of it. Therefore, being an emperor is not as good as imagined."

Yang Zongwei nodded subconsciously, and then saw Yang Qi looking at him, and quickly shook his head.

Yang Qi smiled, but didn't say anything.

……

Millions of soldiers and horses gathered at the border.

Their strength is enough to destroy Kyushu and turn the world upside down.

Therefore, except for the emperor, no one else is qualified to command the army.

It is not uncommon for the royal conquest in Yan State.

Yang Qi led the troops to march, and none of the officials objected.

The State of Yan has a well-established official system, and all officials will deal with Yang Qi's imperial conquest after his expedition according to their own powers.

Except for some special matters, Yang Qi didn't need to deal with other court expeditions.

The three pavilions were separated.

The emperor firmly grasped financial power, military power, legislative power, and supervisory power.

Yang Qi generously let go of the regime.

Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern others.

Yang Qi deeply understands this truth.

The power is handed over, and the officials are tossing around.

But the power in Yang Qi's hands can easily wipe them out, that's enough.

Once there is a problem with the governance of the court.

It must not be the emperor who made the mistake, it must be those officials.

Public anger will also be transferred from the emperor to the officials.

Public anger arose among the people, and the killing of a group of officials was enough to quell it.

Then firmly grasp one or two good governance, enough to win the support and trust of the people all over the world.

under this system.

No matter when, the emperor is a good man, a good man.

It is the officials who are at fault.

As long as the succeeding descendants of the Yang family are not too stupid and do something outrageous, then the status of the Yang family's royal family will be unshakable.

……

In the 18th year of Qianyuan, April [-]th.

Millions of troops swear an oath outside Yanjing City.

With the farewell of the people, they rushed to the battlefield vigorously.

As Yang Qi is the marshal of the army, his dragon is very conspicuous in the team.

Around him, there are no such flashy things as gorgeous grilles and screen fans.

There are only those soldiers in black with guns on their backs and military uniforms.

The dragon is not big, only two zhang square, and the only people sitting in it are the father and son of the Yang family.

Chen Lin was holding a long sword and squatting on the shaft of Long Chuanwai's chariot.

Inside the dragon.

The Yang family father and son sat facing each other.

Yang Qi was reading a long letter in his hands, and Yang Zongwei knelt down on the soft bearskin blanket, helping him make tea.

Long Zhuo was walking on the cement road in a steady manner without any bumps.

So Yang Zongwei can light the small red clay stove with confidence.

Things like the crown prince supervising the country did not happen in the Yan country.

There is Lao Yang who sits in Yanjing City, Yang San who sticks to Yanjing City, and Su Yijian, Kou Zhun, and Wang Yanling who are the general regents.

Even though the Yang family father and son are not in Yanjing City, they are still as stable as Mount Tai.

Nobody worries about things like rebellion.

Yang Qi is not old, he is at the peak of his age, and he holds an army of millions in his hands, no one will jump out to seek death at this time.

What's more, those who have the ability to rebel in Yan State are all Yang family brothers.

Now either on the battlefield, or on the way to the battlefield.

Or on the battlefield in a foreign land.

The reason why Yang Qi took Yang Zongwei with him was to make him more aware of the national strength of Yan State.

I also want him to go through this great war and know what a war between countries is.

Only with such a big battle can Yang Zongwei see clearly what is meant by the overall situation.

The big picture on the battlefield.

An emperor like Zhao Guangyi who doesn't understand the big picture and only knows to rely on his own brain to guess and blind his wisdom is not good.

"Look!"

Yang Qi read the long letter in his hand and handed it to Yang Zongwei.

Yang Zongwei handed Yang Qi a cup of cooked fragrant tea, and then took the long letter.

After reading carefully, he slowly raised his head.

Yang Qi shook the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "What did you see?"

Yang Zongwei said with a strange expression: "The emperor and Uncle Cao are here..."

Yang Qi put down his teacup, motioned Yang Zongwei to pour tea, and said with a smile, "The two of you fought in the Southern Kingdom for many years, and your relationship is deep. Later, you fought in the Maurya Dynasty for many years, and your friendship is even more unbreakable.

But this battle had to be fought again.

So two people are acting. "

After Yang Zongwei helped Yang Qizhan tea, he pondered: "It's a big national event, how can it be a joke."

Yang Qi lay on his side on the soft white bear skin, shook his head and smiled and said, "Sometimes, important national affairs are just such a trifle. Your Uncle Cao picked thousands of people from the natives of the Mauryan Dynasty and sent them to you two. Death in front of the emperor's uncle.

Your two imperial uncles will pick thousands of people and send them to die in front of your Cao family uncle.

so back and forth.

They can write a memorial to Zhen and your grandfather, report the victory, and tell how many enemies they have killed. "

"It was discussed in advance?"

Yang Zongwei asked unexpectedly.

Yang Qi smiled wryly and shook his head, "There is no need to discuss this kind of thing. They are all veterans on the battlefield, as long as they show a little sign, they can see clearly."

Yang Zongwei pondered: "Is it useful?"

Yang Qi shook his head, "It's useless at all...how can your grandfather not see things that I can see clearly. After your grandfather learns about this, he will definitely order to reprimand your uncle, and then send someone to Urge him to fight.

Therefore, this method is of no use other than procrastinating for a while. "

Yang Zongwei wondered: "If that's the case, why let those natives send each other to death?"

Yang Qi explained: "Willing to fight and not fighting are two different concepts. This is a matter of attitude. The emperor's order has been issued. If you don't fight, you are violating the emperor's order and are suspected of rebellion. If you fight, you will not contribute. Just another matter.

This is the cleverness of your uncle and your uncle. "

Yang Zongwei nodded thoughtfully.

After Cao Bin learned about the war in the Peacock Dynasty, as Yang Qi expected, he decreed to reprimand Cao Wei, and at the same time sent an elder from the Cao family to supervise the war in the Maurya Dynasty.

However, there are only two roads from Shu to the Maurya Dynasty.

One is to borrow a road through Seoul, and the other is to walk along the gap in the Daxue Mountain.

The elders of the Cao family did not dare to take risks in Seoul, so they could only walk through the gap in the Daxue Mountain.

And then... the avalanche.

The elders of the Cao family were buried alive.

When it was found, it had turned into a lump of ice.

The Cao family sent people again, and encountered a group of wild wolves again, and suffered heavy losses.

Natural disasters and animal disasters occur again and again.

All the people sent by the Cao family were defeated.

It would be strange if there was no one here.

Annoyed, Cao Bin sent Cao Huan, the sixth son of the Cao family, to take Cao Wei's place on the battlefield of the Maurya Dynasty.

Cao Wei was transferred back to the capital of Shu.

……

When Yang Qi led the army to the Yanshu border.

Under the leadership of Cao Bin, the soldiers and horses of the State of Shu have already launched the war first.

More than 200 million soldiers and horses descended like tigers and wolves.

Along the way, he bravely attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold.

Di Qing and Mu Guiying defended the city with the cooperation of Meng Liang, Yang Shun and others.

Shu wanted to go all the way south to break through Jinling and cut off Yan's control over the Maurya Dynasty, Seoul, Yongzhou, Fuzhou and other places, but was blocked on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Di Qing guarded Hanzhong, and Mu Guiying guarded Ba County.

One south and one north, withstood the two advance roads of Shu.

Millions of troops stand on both sides of the Yangtze River, which is very spectacular.

It was mid-June when Yang Qi led his troops to Ba County.

……

Above the Yangtze River, the waves are rough,
On both sides of the Yangtze River, there are huge crowds of people, and there are many soldiers.

The surrounding vegetation has already been cleared away, leaving only patches of camps.

Mu Guiying, who is all in fiery red, looks like a phoenix in a hen's coop, very conspicuous.

She looks heroic in military uniform, exuding a different kind of charm.

So when Yang Zongwei saw her, he couldn't move his eyes away.

After a few years.

When the two met again, there was no cheering and hugging scene.

It's not that the relationship between the two has faded, but that they are not so thick-skinned in front of millions of troops and under the watchful eyes of Yang Qi.

"General Mu Guiying, commander of the Red Turban Army, see the Marshal!"

Mu Guiying knelt on one knee, and the female soldiers following her also knelt on one knee.

The Red Scarf Army is a unique branch of Yan State.

There are 1 people in the army, all of whom are women.

It is not uncommon for women to join the army in the country of Yan.

Both Du Jin'e and Huyan Chijin were from the military.

Now she is a noble concubine.

The Empress Dowager She Saihua was also from the army.

With the three of them as backers, no one dared to discriminate against female soldiers.

This is not counting Mu Guiying's status as a concubine.

After Du Jin'e and Huyan Chijin retired from the army.

The ownership of the female soldiers they lead has always been an embarrassing issue.

After Mu Guiying took charge of the army, Yang Qi was assigned to her and formed a special army.

Of course, Mu Guiying is not only commanding the Red Scarf Army now, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand the millions of tigers in the Kingdom of Shu.

"Don't be too polite!"

Yang Qi stood on top of the dragon, waved his hands, and continued: "I have just come to the battlefield, and the army has come from a long distance, and I need to repair it. First, clear the surroundings, let the army set up camp, and call the generals of the army to the center. Discuss in the military tent."

"Hey~"

The army set up camp very quickly.

Mu Guiying had ordered people to clear out the place where the army set up camp.

The soldiers and horses brought by Yang Qi only need to set up tents on the spot.

And Yang Qi's Chinese army tent was naturally the first to set up.

The big swallow flag embroidered with dragon patterns fluttered in the wind on the top of the tent.

After receiving the order, the lieutenant generals quickly assembled in front of the central army tent.

There are hundreds of regiment-level generals among millions of soldiers and horses.

Yang Qi couldn't sit in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Qi simply cleared out a piece of empty soil outside the big tent, and after covering it with fur and cloth, everyone sat on the ground.

Chen Lin moved a low soft couch and asked Yang Qi to sit on it.

Yang Qi didn't show too much courtesy. With his status and prestige, these people present are not qualified to ask him to be polite.

He asked straight to the point: "How is the war going?"

Mu Guiying cupped his hands and said, "Two months ago, the Kingdom of Shu began to invade our Great Yan. From the capital of Shu, we marched all the way, and the soldiers split into two routes. On the one side, Cao Bin personally took the command and went south to attack Jinling, but was stopped by the minister On the north bank of the Yangtze River; Cao Can, the Prince of Shu, led the way to the northeast, intending to capture Fengxiang Mansion, Chang'an and other places, but was stopped by Di Qing outside the gate of Hanzhong."

Meng Liang arched his hands and added: "According to your order, before the soldiers of Shu Kingdom left Shu, a generation of people from Ba County and Hanzhong had been evacuated, and the entire battlefield was cleared.

Although several cities were occupied by the Shu Kingdom, there were no casualties among the people. "

Yang Shun said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty! You don't know how wronged I was when I started the war with my brothers. You obviously have the strength to fight, but you can only hold back and let the bastards of Shu Kingdom humiliate you."

"Yes yes yes, General Yang is right, the brothers are too aggrieved. You can only defend, not fight, don't mention how aggrieved."

"..."

Yang Shun's words can express everyone's heart.

Yang Qi glanced at them, and said calmly: "So... are you blaming me for not letting you attack?"

The generals were taken aback when they heard the words, and shook their heads again and again saying they didn't dare.

Complaining is complaining, but they still know the strategy and tactics.

After all, under Yang Qi's popular science and the teachings of various martial arts academies, there is no illiterate in the army today.

Among the senior generals, there are many highly educated ones.

So they are still very knowledgeable about strategies and tactics that they have learned.

Yang Qidao: "The reason why I asked you to only defend and not attack is to allow the Kingdom of Shu to help us build a battlefield. There are many mountainous roads in Shu, deep mountains and dense forests, and winding roads. If we invade Shu and are not familiar with the terrain, it will be very difficult. It is possible that he will be dragged to death in Shu by the Shu army.

Only by leading them out to a relatively calm place to fight can we give full play to our advantages.

Some of you should have learned this art of war when you were in the martial arts academy.

The purpose of learning tactics and strategies is to learn and apply them flexibly.

We have to play to our strengths. "

"The ministers will follow the instructions."

Yang Qi nodded in satisfaction, "After a month and a half of tossing, the Shu army has opened up the battlefield for us. We don't need to keep on guarding. It just so happened that I led the army, and the army gathered together. Destroy the Shu army."

Mu Guiying frowned tightly on his stern face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the two armies are now fighting along the Yangtze River. It is a big taboo for military strategists to use water and fire. The Yangtze River is surging and the water is fast. It is necessary to prevent the Shu army from using water to attack .

When Cao Cao led an army of 80 troops to the south, he was defeated in the water. "

Yang Qi glanced at her, and said with a half-smile, "This is not what I'm thinking about, but what you're thinking about."

"Um?!"
