Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 190 Six Taiyuan Yang Family

------------

Zhang Xiaochun stood on the city wall, looked down with a sneer, and several generals followed behind him.

"My lord, are the bandits from Liangshan really planning to attack our Taiyuan City? Judging by the number of their soldiers, there are more than [-]. It seems that they have transferred all the soldiers here." A general said.

"Hmph, overestimate one's abilities." Zhang Xiaochun said coldly.

He looked down carefully for a while, and found that Liangshan's barracks were extremely carefully arranged, with almost no gaps in which to attack.It seems impossible to take the opportunity to attack the Liangshan barracks.

"Be careful!" Zhang Xiaochun said as he walked forward.

"Yes, my lord! But, my lord, what should we do if the enemy keeps besieging the city?" a general said.

"The city has been besieged, how is this possible? Winter is coming, and it is impossible for them to stay outside in such cold weather." Zhang Xiaochun said casually.

Although he felt that Taiyuan City was very strong and could not be conquered by Liangshan, he was still a little vigilant in his heart, so he ate and lived on the city wall that day, and did not leave the city wall at all.

There are four city gates in Taiyuan City, and there is a huge house next to the west gate, and the word "Yang" is engraved on the plaque of the house.This silver hook and iron painting written in Yang characters, a heroic spirit rushes straight from it, this is where the ancestral house of the Yang family in Taiyuan is located.

The Yang family in Taiyuan is where the Yang family started.Yang Ye, the ancestor of the generals of the Yang family, was originally a famous general in Hedong. After he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he came to the northwest from Hedong and began to guard the northwest.However, in his hometown in Taiyuan, there has always been a Yang family stationed there.

It's just that since the Yang family general began to decline, the Yang family in Taiyuan has also declined.Now the head of the Yang family in Taiyuan, Yang Denai, is the guard of the west gates of Taiyuan City, and the rest of the Yang family are also serving as some insignificant officials in Taiyuan City.

In the courtyard of the Yang family's ancestral house, Yang De was standing there wearing armor at this moment, and there was a young man standing beside him.

The leaves in the yard were falling one by one, making one feel extremely bleak.Yang De remained silent the entire time, while the young man beside him looked anxious.

"Father, do we really want to assist Liangshan?" Finally, the young man couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help asking.

"Not bad!" Yang De nodded and said.

"However, how could we do such a thing when we were loyal in the Yang family?" the young man asked.

"Loyalty? Do you know what loyalty means? More than 150 years ago, my Yang family was an important minister of the Later Han Dynasty, and then surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Do you think this is loyalty?" Yang De asked lightly.

"This... but back then it was the time when the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world. It cannot be compared with the present. At that time, the Later Han Dynasty had already declined, and it would be a matter of time before it was replaced by the Great Song Dynasty. It is nothing if we surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. Now if we help Liangshan If you don't, then you're going against the thief and the son, and you're disloyal and unfilial." The young man hesitated for a moment, then said.

"It was indeed the time when the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world, but now it is also the time when Liangshan dominates the world. Naturally, we can assist Liangshan." Yang De said.

"Father, how can you say such a thing? Liangshan is just a thief, how could you have such an idea?" the young man said in disbelief.

"Show loyalty, the imperial court has no way! Since the current emperor succeeded to the throne, the people of the world have been oppressed. Now there are bandits everywhere, and there are people who occupy mountains and become kings everywhere. I heard that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are now in panic. , There may be rebellion at any time. The current Great Song Dynasty is already a sign of national subjugation, and the only ones that can replace the Great Song Dynasty are Khitan, Nvzhen or Liangshan, so I want to assist Liangshan and find a way out for my Yang family." Yang Dedao .

"But father, the imperial court still has 80 imperial troops and 30 western troops. Including the garrisons in various places, the strength exceeds 200 million. In the face of such a force, any bandit is vulnerable," the young man said.

"We soldiers know what the imperial court's forbidden army looks like. The so-called 80 forbidden army can be completely ignored. As for the garrisons in various places, they don't train much on weekdays. They are scattered and can play very limited effects. The only one in the imperial court The rest is 30 Western troops, but I just got the information that Zhong Shidao personally led 20 Western troops to attack Hedong, and they have already been defeated by General Lin of Hedong! Under such circumstances, you still think Da Song is not Will the country perish?" Yang De asked.

"Is this true?" the young man said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! I personally sent people to investigate in the south, and the news I got was that Zhong Shi Dao was defeated. Of the 20 western troops, less than 10 were able to return to the northwest! Captured or killed by Liang Shan, the Western Army was indeed defeated by Liang Shan!" Yang De said.

"The Western Army was defeated. Is the imperial court really going to perish?" the young man said in a daze.

Although the Yang family is a family of soldiers and generals, most of them don't read poetry, but this young man is an exception.In addition to practicing martial arts, he often reads some Confucian classics. He even wanted to take the imperial examination, but was stopped by his father.In his heart, being loyal to the emperor is the most important thing. Now that his father has made such a decision, it is really hard for him to accept it.

"Tonight, you and Liangshan's hero, Shi Qian, will leave Taiyuan City together and go to the Liangshan military camp. I have already discussed with the people in Liangshan. When the time comes, I will wait for my torch. Once the torch is lit, it will be the day when the gates of the city will be opened." When Liangshan soldiers enter Taiyuan City from the west gate, it will be very easy to occupy Taiyuan City." Yang De said.

Nian took a deep breath and said.

"Very well, you are ready to leave." Yang De said.

Yang De turned around and left, heading towards the west city wall, leaving the young man here alone.

The young man looked up at the sky, a little hard to make a decision.

He stood for a long time, then suddenly stomped his feet fiercely, and said, "How did I, Yang Xianzhong, become such a mother-in-law? Father and lord have already made a decision, that's all, I will go out of the city to meet the people in Liangshan tonight! From now on, I will never be loyal to you The court is gone, and I, Yang Xianzhong, am also a member of Liangshan!"

In the middle of the night that day, Yang Xianzhong and Shi Qian were let down from the city wall with a rope, and they quietly headed towards Liangshan's military camp.

In Yang Xianzhong's arms, he carried his father's autographed letter, which contained all the plans.In addition, as Yang De's only son, he went to the Liangshan military camp this time, in a sense, as a hostage to gain Liangshan's trust.

After Yang Xianzhong met Zhu Wu, after three or four days of confirmation, he chose the weather to open the city gate. After that, Yang Xianzhong was actually sent to Wu Song and Li Ying, and told Wu Song and Li Ying the news.

Because Wu Song and Li Ying's [-] soldiers and horses are at the west gate, they must be the first to attack the city.

Wu Song arranged for Yang Xianzhong to stay, and then went outside the barracks with Li Ying.

At this moment, the cold wind is howling, but the two of them standing there don't seem to feel the same at all.With martial arts practiced to their level, it has long since been invulnerable to cold and heat.

Both of them were admiring the Taiyuan City in front of them. It was indeed the strongest city in the north. Just looking at the height of the city wall, ordinary ladders would definitely not be able to climb it.What's more, there is a moat formed by the Fen River below. The water of the Fen River is extremely turbulent, and it is almost impossible to fill the moat.

If there are thousands of trebuchets attacking Taiyuan City day and night, it is indeed possible to take down Taiyuan City, but without siege weapons, it is almost impossible to take down Taiyuan City by relying on the bravery of soldiers alone.

"When the gates of the city are opened, I will bring 5000 people into the city first, and then you will bring the rest of the troops into the city." Li Ying said suddenly.

"I'll lead the troops in first," Wu Song said.

"No! What if that Yang De is defrauding us? What if there is a trap inside? It's too dangerous inside, don't go in. It doesn't matter if I die, but it's okay if you die." Li Ying said with a smile.

Wu Song snorted coldly, feeling very displeased.

He knew that it must be because of him as the "brother of the governor". Because of this status, many people were unwilling to let him take risks, including Li Ying.

"Needless to say, I'll go in first, and you'll be behind! This time I'm the highest officer of the Shuibo army, and you need to listen to me." Wu Song said coldly.

Li Ying smiled wryly, he didn't expect that Wu Song would reject his good intentions, and it would also cause Wu Song's displeasure.He wanted to persuade him again, but Wu Song had already turned around and left, heading towards his barracks.

More than [-] troops have been under the city of Taiyuan for three days, and they have been besieging but not attacking for these three days.The atmosphere in Taiyuan City was very tense, while Zhang Xiaochun was a little suspicious, not knowing what Liang Shan was doing.Some generals said that Liangshan might be waiting for the arrival of siege weapons. Zhang Xiaochun thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable.He had already looked down carefully, but he didn't find any siege weapons, so he relaxed after being sleepy for a while.

At night, the sky was very dark, neither the moon nor any stars could be seen. At this time, 15 torches were suddenly lit on the west gate, and the 15 torches were lined up. Row, unusually dazzling.

When he saw these 15 torches, soldiers rushed to Wu Song's barracks immediately. Wu Song stood up in an instant. He hurriedly lit up 5000 soldiers and rushed towards the west city gate in less than half an hour. .

At this moment, the west city gate has been opened, and the suspension bridge over the moat has also been lowered.

Wu Song rushed to the forefront, and countless soldiers followed him behind him.

Along the way, Wu Song was a little apprehensive. He was also worried that this was a trap.But no matter what, he had to go in and be harsh. If he lost this opportunity, it would be difficult to attack the city.

After passing through the city gate all the way, there was no ambush. At this moment, a middle-aged general arrived with dozens of soldiers.The middle-aged general went straight to meet Wu Song and said, "Is this a general from Liangshan? I'm going down to Yang De!"
