I'm a Buddhist foster child
Chapter 50
There was a "boom—" in Yang Jian's mind, and he felt like his head was about to explode. There was a blank space for a while, and Yang Jian, who had always been calm, couldn't think of too much, and there were noisy voices in his ears.
"Pingyang urgent report! The general of the chariot and rider died in battle!"
"Pingyang Urgent Report——"
"Pingyang has fallen! The team of the general of chariots has withdrawn from Pingyang, and was forced to retreat to Yaoxiang City by the Qi army!"
"Father……"
"Father?"
"Father!"
Yang Guang's milky voice sounded, and Yang Jian's attention was suddenly drawn back, and everyone's eyes were on Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's eyes were extremely sharp, and he squinted and said, "What's going on?!"
The soldier knelt on the ground and said: "The humble general escaped from Yao Xiangcheng! There are traitors in the army of the general of chariots! That dog thief was bought by the people of Qi and betrayed us!"
The chariot general Yang Zheng and his third younger brother Yang Zan have been stationed in Pingyang with their troops, and they can attack Jinyang from three sides. Who knew that something went wrong at this juncture.
The Northern Qi Dynasty sent a new chief general, this person is the confidant of the emperor of Qi people, almost no one can match him, he is the famous He Shikai.
He Shikai was not one of the three nobles in the Northern Qi Dynasty, nor was he one of the eight nobles. It was not that He Shikai's status was not high enough, but that He Shikai died too early. Can't compare with him.
He Shikai is the favorite minister of the Northern Qi Emperor. It is said that He Shikai is smooth and frivolous, and he is suspected of having an affair with many people, such as the former Gao Anagong, such as the Northern Qi Emperor. Not only that, he also had an affair with Queen Hu suspected.Always sit and hold the lance with Queen Hu, and make physical contact.
Holding a lance is not the literal meaning of holding a long lance, but a small game of chess in ancient times.
He Shikai enjoys a good reputation in Northern Qi and has a wide network of contacts. This time, the Emperor of Northern Qi sent him to Pingyang to take over Gao Yanzong's position.He Shikai's family was born as a merchant, and he didn't have much talent for leading troops, but he spent a lot of money to bribe the generals stationed in Pingyang. Yang Zheng was betrayed, and He Shikai's army succeeded in a surprise attack. disadvantage.
Yang Zheng and Yang Zan were in Pingyang, surrounded by Qi people's territory. They were suddenly attacked. Yang Zheng died in a fierce battle. The army's morale was in turmoil.
Because He Shikai had bought off the generals of the Zhou division, he had a clear picture of their food and grass marching. Yang Zan led the army and retreated and fought.
Yaoxiang City is backed by the Yellow River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very dangerous. Yang Zan ordered to enter the city and build defenses in the city. Order the Qi army to block Yang Zan's grain road.
Yaoxiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is indeed an excellent position for defense, but because of the terrain, it is not only difficult for other people's troops to enter, but it is also difficult for your own supply troops to enter.
He Shikai had people block the grain road supplying Yaoxiang City, and at the same time, there were troops stationed in Dingyang, southeast of Yaoxiang City, trying to trap Yang Zan alive.
Yang Zan's army was trapped in Yaoxiang City, and the food consumption was insufficient and could not be replenished. Yang Zan went out to meet the enemy, attracting the attention of the Qi army, and at the same time sent a lone cavalry to sneak out of Yaoxiang while the enemy was not paying attention. City, rushed to Jinyang to send a letter, asking for the support of the army.
The soldier cried and said: "The general Cheqi fought bloody, let me wait to evacuate, and finally... finally died of exhaustion, listen... I heard that the head was beheaded by the Qi thief!"
Yang Jian's face became calmer and calmer. Others might have thought that Yang Jian would be furious when he heard this, but what he didn't expect was that the more Yang Jian listened back, the calmer he became, with his usual gentle face. , expressionless, calm as if a pool of stagnant water.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, but his voice was slightly hoarse, and said, "Jian must face the saint, now."
The little emperor Yu Wenyong also heard that Yang Zheng's [-] troops were stationed in Pingyang, but they were betrayed and attacked. Yang Zan died of exhaustion in order to protect the army. Yang Zan led the army to retreat and was trapped in Yaoxiang City, at a disadvantage. , if they don't go to support, the [-] army is likely to be trapped in Yaoxiang City.
He Shikai's method is not insidious. On the one hand, he blocked the grain road of Yaoxiang City, and on the other hand, he blocked the river channel crossing the Yellow River. It is almost impossible for a [-] army to cross the river from Yaoxiang City. , In this way, Yaoxiang City will become a dead city!
Yang Zheng and Yang Zan are Yang Jian's younger brothers. If Yang Jian chooses to go to the rescue in person, he will leave Jinyang.Yang Jian has put in a lot of hard work to be able to be stationed outside Jinyang today. Once he leaves and the little emperor Yu Wenyong is stationed in Jinyang again, Yang Jian will lose the initiative to compete for Jinyang. The wedding dress is also the scene that the little emperor Yu Wenyong wants to see the most...
"Wait!" Seeing that Yang Jian was about to face the saint, Yu Wenhui immediately stretched out his hand to stop Yang Jian. His throat was rolling and he was a little hoarse, and his face was unexpectedly serious. He said, "Think about it, once you leave Jinyang, It is equivalent to losing Jinyang... You are worthy of joining forces with Grandpa. You had a great chance to win Jinyang and win the first prize, but now... even if we don't have Pingyang's help, Jinyang is still in the bag, so ...Are you still going to Pingyang?"
The meaning of Yuwenhui is obvious. The [-] troops in Pingyang were disintegrated and had already retreated to Yaoxiang City by the Yellow River. They could not attack Jinyang with them on three sides. At this time, it is unreasonable to give up the hot Jinyang and go back to eating the cold steamed bun of Yao Xiangcheng.
Yang Jian glanced at Yuwenhui, nodded, and said, "Even so, Jian still wants to go. If Master Yuwen was deeply trapped in Yaoxiang City today, would you drop everything and rush over?"
Yu Wenhui was taken aback, and slowly let go of Yang Jian's hand. There was no sound for a while, then he raised his head and said, "I will go to Yaoxiang with you!"
Yang Jian didn't talk nonsense, and immediately turned around and went to the Tianzi's tent. After hearing the news, many people came, and when Yang Jian arrived at the Tianzi's tent, the others also rushed.
Yu Wenyong frowned, and said worriedly: "I've heard about it, I've heard about it all, General Cheqi, alas..." He sighed a long time at this point.
The situation suddenly changed, and [-] Master Zhou fell. Although Master Zhou was also Yu Wenyong's Master Zhou, judging from the current situation, it turned out to be beneficial to Yu Wenyong, so Yu Wenyong didn't want to stop Yang Jian at all, but was very understanding , Said: "Since the general of the town army wants to help Yao Xiangcheng, I respect the general's meaning. Jinyang is still sitting in the town with the widow and the Otsuka governor. The general does not have to worry too much."
Listening to Yu Wenyong's words, Yang Jian still had no expression on his face. It seemed that whether Yu Wenyong was crying or laughing, happy or sad at this time had nothing to do with him.
Yu Wenyong also said: "It is not too late. The aid to Yao Xiangcheng should be set off as soon as possible. The soldiers should be dispatched immediately. The widow will personally send the general of the town army to set off."
Yang Jian just cupped his hands, left the emperor's camp quickly, and ordered troops immediately.
It is not that simple to help Yaoxiangcheng, but it is not possible to drive from Jinyang to Yaoxiangcheng, and Dingyang in the southeast direction must be defeated. There may be a sneak attack.
Yang Jian personally ordered the team to set off. In order to express his sincerity, Yu Wenyong specially asked people to prepare a lot of food, grass and food, and personally sent Yang Jian and others to the gate of the camp, almost sending them out of the camp.
After all, whether Yang Jian is going to fight Dingyang or Yao Xiangcheng, it is beneficial for Yu Wenyong to come over, and once Yang Jian leaves, Jinyang will belong to Yu Wenyong. bird".
Yu Wenyong said: "The general is going, please pay attention, Qi people are cunning, it is really hateful, we must avenge the general of the car and ride."
Yang Jian's eyes were calm, without seeing any waves, he just cupped his hands to Yu Wenyong and said, "It's getting late, it's time for Jian to set off."
Yu Wenyong nodded and said, "I won't leave you alone, let's go."
Yang Jian went to rectify the soldiers and horses and was ready to set off. Yu Wenyong saw Qi Guogong Yu Wenxian in the departure queue. Yu Wenxian was also Yu Wenyong's younger brother, but Yu Wenxian was not the younger brother of the little emperor with the same father and mother, but a half-brother. Brother, although the two of them are not too close, but because Yu Wenxian behaves well, the little emperor does not dislike him.
Yu Wenyong walked up to Yu Wenxian and said, "Fifth brother."
Yu Wenxian cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven."
Yu Wenyong said: "Your brother doesn't have to be so polite. There are not many brothers left in the widow. If you have such a relationship with the widow, it will make the widow sigh."
Wei Guogong Yu Wenzhi handed it over to Otsuka Zai, and the consequences can be imagined. From now on, there will be no such person as Yu Wenzhi.
Yu Wenxian is a delicate and sweet person, the owner has never been very close to him, suddenly he said such intimate words, there must be some reason, so Yu Wenxian did not answer the words immediately.
Sure enough, Yu Wenyong said: "Now the general of the Zhenjun is here to help Yao Xiangcheng, and you follow him, brother. You must take good care of the general for the widow, do you understand?"
What Yu Wenyong said was too euphemistic, because Yu Wenxian is a smart person, he knew that no matter how euphemistic he said, Yu Wenxian, a Linglong darling, could understand him, and he meant to let Yu Wenxian monitor Yang Jian.
Along the way, Yu Wenxian came here to monitor Yang Jian, but after experiencing so much on the road, Yu Wenxian actually "too lazy" to monitor Yang Jian.
Yu Wenxian remained calm, neither refused nor agreed, but said: "This is a matter of my younger brother's duty, please rest assured."
Yu Wenyong nodded and said: "My younger brother and the widow are brothers after all, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If the widow doesn't entrust it to my younger brother, who else can I entrust it to?"
Yu Wenxian did not speak again, and found an excuse, saying: "The emperor forgives the sin, the army will set off immediately, and the younger brother will leave first."
"Let's go." Yu Wenyong didn't keep him any longer, and let Yu Wenxian leave.
Yu Wenyong turned around and wanted to go back to the emperor's tent, when he suddenly saw a slender figure standing in the crowd, much thinner than the others, who was adjusting the bridle of the horse and was also in the starting queue.
It's Yuchi Youqi...
Yu Wenyong squinted his eyes, walked over casually, and said, "You're leaving too?"
When Yu Chi Youqi saw Yu Wenyong, he immediately cupped his hands in salute, and said, "My lord."
Yu Wenyong continued to talk to himself lightly: "The widow did not keep you, because the widow wanted to let you know... It was your mistake, following the wrong master."
The army quickly rectified and set off immediately. Yang Jian led the team to march in a hurry, and didn't stop to set up camp until it was dark.
After camping, the people did not rest and go to bed, but gathered in the shogunate to discuss the military situation.
Yang Jian stared at the topographic map on the table with a serious face, and Yu Wenhui said: "If we want to help Yao Xiangcheng, our first goal must be Dingyang."
He said, "Knock, knock!" He bent his fingers and knocked on Dingyang in the southeast of Yaoxiang City.
He Shikai's army defended Dingyang, cut off the grain and river channels of Yaoxiang City, and blocked all of Yang Zan's exits. The Zhou division just rushed to Yaoxiang City, not understanding the urgent need at all. Take it down and drive away the Qi army. In this way, the crisis in Yao Xiangcheng can naturally be solved.
Gao Changgong pondered for a while, and said: "He Shikai doesn't have any talent for leading troops, but he holds [-] troops of the Qi army in his hand. Although the general has [-] troops, he has only [-] left in Jinyang. There are [-] troops left, and these [-] troops are not regular troops, they are all recruited mob troops, and if they want to fight Dingyang head-on, they are almost hitting a stone with an egg..."
In particular, their army is still walking on the border of the Qi people. This is the east of the Yellow River, not the west of the Yellow River. They not only have to fight against Dingyang's army, but also face harassment from other Qi armies at any time, which is even more difficult. Difficult.
Gao Yanzong clapped the case and said angrily: "The grandson of He Shikai must have laid down a heavy defense in Dingyang, and he is waiting for us to rescue Yao Xiangcheng. He wants to wipe us out! We are like this In the past, wouldn’t you have thrown yourself into a trap?”
Han Feng sneered and said: "It's just a Heshikai, he rubbed him! Let me be the vanguard, and I'll cut off his head and seeds for you!"
Yu Wenxian frowned and said: "Now is not the time to act impulsively, General Han please calm down."
Hao Abao said: "The river course was also blocked by them. I asked someone to check it out. The people from Heshikai occupied the river course. It is almost impossible to touch the backside of Yaoxiang City."
Everyone spoke to each other, and the entire tent of the shogunate fell into chaos. Yang Guang sat in the tent with folded eyes and arms folded, staring at the topographic map on the desk. Yang Jian whispered something in his ear.
Yang Guang has lived a whole life again, and unlike Yang Jian, he was from the Southern and Northern Dynasties in his previous life, so he experienced it again in this life, and at this time he thought of an idea to save Yao Xiangcheng.
After hearing this, Yang Jian nodded and raised his hand to stop the noisy discussion of the crowd.
When everyone saw Yang Jian raised his hand, they immediately fell silent, and all looked at Yang Jian, waiting for Yang Jian to speak.
Yang Jian had just lost his second younger brother, and everyone seemed to be afraid of touching his strings, so there was a sudden silence and a little cautious.
Yang Jian spoke calmly, pointed his finger on Dingyang, and said, "We don't fight Dingyang."
"Don't fight Dingyang?!" Yu Wenhui, Han Feng, Hao Abao and Langpi shouted almost in unison.
It is absolutely impossible to rescue Yao Xiangcheng without Dingyang.
Yang Jian's slender fingers slid down Dingyang to the southeast of Dingyang. "Da!" fell down and hit another county on the topographic map, and said succinctly: "Hit Yiyang."
This was the idea Yang Guang gave him just now. When everyone was in chaos, Yang Guang had already thought of a lot.He Shikai used such vicious tactics to trap Yang Zan and his army to death, so he must have thought that Jinyang's Zhou army would come to help, so Dingyang must be heavily guarded, and Yang Jian's miscellaneous army has not been well trained , Rushing over at this time is definitely looking for a dead end, it is really not worthwhile to hit a stone with an egg.
So Yang Guang thought of a way to let the Heshi leave Dingyang by himself, which is to attack Yiyang.
Yiyang is to the west of Luoyang. Due to the importance of Luoyang to the Northern Qi, Yiyang has always been a battleground between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi. Yiyang is also one of the key points of the Northern Qi. If Yiyang is hit hard, Then He Shikai will definitely give up Dingyang and go to aid Yiyang. This is a typical strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.
He Shikai led an army of [-], the main force was in Dingyang, Yiyang is very calm now, the main battlefield is in the north, the south will inevitably be ignored, at this time a sneak attack on Yiyang is the best time.
Everyone looked at Yiyang that Yang Jian was pointing at, and suddenly they all showed a look of enlightenment, and said, "Yes! Yiyang!"
Yu Wenhui patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of that! Yiyang, yes! When we attack Yiyang, the Qi army in Dingyang will definitely go south to support, so that the crisis in Yaoxiang City can be resolved."
Hao Abao said: "I can take my brothers to walk by water, so the speed is faster, and I can also take a shortcut!"
Yu Wenxian frowned and said: "There is only one problem. To attack Yiyang, we need to be unprepared. He Shikai must not find anything. Otherwise, once the people of Qi discover our plan to attack Yiyang, Yiyang will dispatch troops in advance. At that time, Dingyang's army will not need to rush to help Yiyang."
This is indeed the truth, but Yang Jian seemed to have a countermeasure long ago, saying: "So we need to divide our troops into three groups."
Yang Jian raised his index finger and said: "The first road is the waterway of General Hao and General Langpi. You cross the river by waterway, go directly south, and encircle Yiyang through our own territory."
Hao Abao and Wolfpi clasped their hands together and said, "Yes!"
Yang Jian shook his index finger and middle finger, and said: "Second route, the general and Lord Yu Wenlang lead the troops, we must advance carefully from the side road, touch Yiyang, and prepare to outflank."
Han Feng said eagerly: "What about me!? What am I doing?!"
Yang Jian finally said: "For the last route of soldiers and horses, follow Jian to Dingyang. It is bound to be a big fanfare to attract the attention of the Qi army and cover the first and second routes."
So it is!
Yang Jian was fighting psychological tactics with He Shikai. He Shikai killed Yang Zheng and angered Yang Jian. He wanted Yang Jian to lead troops to attack Dingyang with eggs, so Yang Jian fulfilled his wish and deliberately created a huge With momentum, he flew to Dingyang with a large army, which attracted He Shikai's full attention, and provided cover for Yuwenhui, Yuwenyong, Hao Abao and the wolfpi sneak attacking team.
When Yiyang fell, Heshikai and the others would panic, so they had no choice but to withdraw from Dingyang. After all, for them, Dingyang was just a tool city to block Yang Zan, and Yiyang was to protect Luo. The key point of Yang is dangerous once it is missed.
Without further ado, Hao Abao and Langpi immediately went to prepare for crossing the river, Yu Wenhui went to rectify the soldiers and horses, Yu Wenyong rectified the food and grass, and everyone was ready to go.
The night had already darkened, and Yang Jian left the shogunate camp, only to feel that the night outside was extremely dark, much darker than every day, and the darkness was just like his own state of mind.
Yang Jian walked slowly towards the camp where he was staying. He was exhausted from running all the way, and his body was inevitably a little burdened. His legs and arms had not yet fully recovered. Yang Jian walked back a little bit, only feeling that his legs were sore and weak. Shaking slightly.
He entered the tent, leaned on the table, and slowly sat on the bed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to touch it. It turned out that there was a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
Yang Jian was drying himself, when the curtain of the tent was knocked up with a "crash", it was the cheap son Yang Guang who came in, and Yang Guang's little meat was still holding a bowl of decoction in his hand, which was Yang Jian's daily medicine. , because of today's busy schedule, I almost forgot to take the medicine, but it's hard for Yang Guang to remember it.
Yang Guang brought the medicine over, but Yang Jian didn't say much, he directly took the decoction and drank it in one gulp, then showed a surprised expression, and said: "So this soup...is not really bitter."
The decoction that is extremely bitter every day does not feel so bitter today. Sure enough, many things need to be compared.
Yang Jian stared at the medicine bowl in a daze. When he parted from Yang Zheng and Yang Zan, Yang Zheng was still foolishly joking. How could he have thought that the parting at Tongguan was a farewell...
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Yang Guang said, "Father, pay attention to rest and don't collapse from exhaustion."
Yang Jian nodded and said, "You also go to bed earlier."
The crowd rested in the middle of the night, and the sky was getting brighter, and they set off immediately, and the army rushed towards Dingyang in great momentum.
He Shikai's army was stationed in Dingyang as expected, it seemed that they had been expected to come to Dingyang for a long time, and they had already stood on the city gate to welcome them.
In autumn, Dingyang City is in a haze, today there is wind, and the yellow sand is densely covered in the sky.
The Qi army in Dingyang was garrisoned very tightly, with archers lined up neatly on the top of the city, and He Shikai stood in the crowd, laughing and saying, "The Zhou dog thief is here!"
"Zhou Dog! Zhou Dog!"
"Zhou Dog was killed by our general, yet he dared to come!"
"Kill Zhougou—"
He Shikai's cronies immediately shouted, mocking voices drifting down from the tower.
Yang Jian sat on the horse, squinted his eyes, and clenched his hands into fists, but didn't speak immediately.
He Shikai said again: "Yes, I will introduce an old friend to you Zhougou. I think you have already met!"
As He Shikai spoke, he turned his head and shouted behind his back: "General Tang, why are you ashamed!"
It turned out to be Tang Yong!
A tall man came out from the tower. The man was dressed in black, with stubble on his chin, and a serious face with Chinese characters. It was indeed Tang Yong. They met in Fenshui not long ago.
After Tang Yong left Fenshui, he should have returned directly to Yecheng to return to his command, but unfortunately, He Shikai sent troops to attack Pingyang, killed General Yang Zheng, and forced Zhou Shi to retreat to Yaoxiang City. Therefore, the Northern Qi emperor temporarily ordered Tang Yong to change his course and go to Dingyang to help garrison Yao Xiangcheng, while Feng Xiaolian was sent back to Yecheng by others.
Tang Yong stood on the tower and looked down, squinting his eyes and said: "General He, the thief Zhou is cunning this week, and I have already followed his way. We only need to guard Dingyang, and we don't need to talk too much with them, so as not to fall into Zhou's trap." Thief's plan."
But He Shikai laughed and said: "Is General Tang being too cautious? Before I met Zhou Bandit, everyone said how powerful Zhou Bandit was. I saw him today, but it was only mediocre. General Tang is in Zhou Bandit's hands." If I suffer, I will not suffer."
He Shikai obviously looked down on Tang Yong, and Tang Yong's persuasion didn't work at all, but backfired.
He Shikai said again: "The iron wall of Dingyang Bronze City is like a golden soup! I have a [-]-strong army in my hand, and the bandits led by us are just the old and weak soldiers we discarded. How can they compete with me?"
He Shikai patted the piles on the city gate, and said leisurely: "I not only want to beat the Zhou thieves to pieces, but also beat them to shame! General Tang, just watch carefully!"
He Shikai obviously became obstinate, Tang Yong immediately advised him, saying: "General He..."
Before he finished speaking, He Shikai had already said: "General Tang, the imperial court sent you here to assist General Yu Ben, not to tell you what to do! A defeated general who was defeated by the Zhou bandits, what qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?" !?"
He Shikai was full of disdain, bowed his head to Yang Jian who was under the city gate and said with a smile: "If you want to rush to help Yao Xiangcheng, go to Dingyang first! Come on!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his cronies immediately nodded and bowed, and left quickly, not knowing what He Shikai had ordered in advance.
Han Feng said coldly: "I have long thought that this warrior is not pleasing to the eye, let me fight in a while!"
Qi Guogong Yu Wenxian said: "General Han is brave and fearless. It is good to let General Han fight, which will help cover up his eyes and ears."
The purpose of their coming is to attract He Shikai's attention and cover for the other two lanes. Han Feng is aggressive, so he is indeed the best candidate.
Han Feng said: "Why do I listen, you don't seem to be praising me?"
Yang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I will trouble General Han to take the lead."
He Shikai had already made arrangements. Dingyang is now a city of iron barrels. He Shikai calculated that Yang Jian would not be able to defeat Dingyang no matter what, so he planned to humiliate Yang Jian and accompany him stubbornly. He was ready a long time ago. The first person to fight.
The city gate quickly opened a gap, several soldiers of the Qi army pushed a man out of the city gate, everyone fixed their eyes and saw that this man was not wearing a jacket at all, but was actually wearing a medical officer's robe.
Han Feng said in shock: "Medical officer?!"
Medical officials are civilian officials among the heavenly officials, how could they go to the battlefield?
The city gate of Dingyang was opened, and a medical officer was pushed out, obviously looking down on them, He Shikai wanted to humiliate Yang Jian like this, just for fun.
The medical officer was probably around 20 years old, and he was dressed in the robes of a civil servant, so he could be said to be a tall type. If he wasn't wearing the robes of a civil servant, perhaps others would think he was really a general.
But the medical officer had a "submissive" appearance, a little hunched over with his chest in his chest, and he didn't dare to stretch out. He was holding a spear in his hand. This spear should be too heavy for him. secure.
The medical officer was pushed out by the Qi soldiers, and he wanted to turn around and run back, but at this moment the city gate was closed abruptly, keeping the medical officer out, this scene was like an arena, and He Shikai was the spectator.
The medical officer hurriedly patted the city gate and said, "General, general... He, He He and General, my servant is... a civil servant, really, really good at fighting... Open, open, open the door..."
The medical officer was not only cowardly, but also stuttered. He knocked on the door and shouted, which made the soldiers on the gate upstairs burst into laughter.
"Stutter! Hit!"
"Hit them!"
He Shikai was also amused and laughed, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you defeat the vanguard of the Zhou thief, this general will open the city gate."
Gao Yanzong looked at it from afar, and said, "This medical officer... is that kid surnamed Xu?"
Yang Jian turned his head and said, "You know?"
Gao Yanzong said: "It's too far away, and I can't see it clearly, but it looks like it. I don't know him, but I know his uncle and uncle."
Gao Yanzong said again: "Fourth brother, have you forgotten the medical officer surnamed Xu! Xu Zhicai's nephew!"
Gao Changgong suddenly showed a dazed expression, and said, "Looking at it this way, it really looks like Dr. Xu's nephew."
Hearing their conversation, Yang Guang seemed to understand, and immediately whispered a few words into Yang Jian's ear, and introduced Xu Zhicai's nephew to Yang Jian.
Xu Zhicai was a famous doctor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and had a great influence on later generations.Xu Zhicai was intelligent when he was young, he could be called a child prodigy, he received higher education, because of his superb medical skills, he has been working as a medical officer in Northern Qi Dynasty, served several emperors in Northern Qi Dynasty, and the emperors were very dependent on Xu Zhicai.
Xu Zhicai has two sons, but neither of them are doctors. His younger brother and nephew are doctors. The cowardly medical officer in front of him is Xu Zhicai's nephew, named Xu Minqi, although his uncle and father They were all well-known medical officials in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Xu Minqi himself was not like that, he was just a little-known pawn.
Although Xu Zhicai was a medical officer, but because of his superb medical skills, the Emperor of Northern Qi trusted him completely. In addition, Xu Zhicai was not dull and could speak well, so he could be said to have a prosperous official career. His nephew Xu Minqi was just the opposite.
Xu Minqi was born with a stutter, although he was born tall like a general, but he wasted his good body in vain, always hunched over, with his chest slightly hunched, as if he didn't dare to stretch, he stuttered in his speech on weekdays, and he always spoke clichés , very pedantic.
He Shikai sent a stuttering medical officer to fight for a reason. On the one hand, he looked down on Yang Jian and felt that Yang Jian was nothing to fear. He sent a medical officer to fight because he wanted to humiliate Yang Jian.
On the other hand, he also looked down on the Xu family. He Shikai was the emperor's number one favorite, but the emperor was weak and sick, so he couldn't do without Xu Zhicai. Apart from medical skills, Xu Zhicai was also very good at talking. Very wary.If it is a favored minister, such as a general, a scribe, etc., he will be killed if he is killed. The emperor may not even frown, but Xu Zhicai is a medical officer. Looking around the world, there is no one who is better at healing than Xu Zhicai. Whenever the emperor has a headache and brain fever, Xu Zhicai can cure the disease with the medicine and has extraordinary attainments, so the emperor is reluctant to part with Xu Zhicai.
It can be said that Xu Zhicai was a stumbling block for He Shikai to be favored, but Xu Zhicai had real talents and knowledge, and He Shikai couldn't bring him down, so he had to vent his anger on Xu Zhicai, his nephew.
When He Shikai was about to set off for the expedition, he proposed that Xu Zhicai's nephew Xu Minqi be a military doctor to accompany him. The Northern Qi emperor favored He Shikai and approved it without any doubt.
Therefore, He Shikai asked Xu Minqi to take the lead, in fact, it was for public revenge. If Xu Minqi died, it would not be his fault. Anyway, Zhou people did it. Even if Xu Zhicai resented him, he would have nothing to say.
Yang Jian was here to delay the opportunity, and it didn't matter who Shi Kai sent to the expedition, so Yang Jian turned his head to Han Feng and said, "Please trouble General Han."
Han Feng immediately drove his horse forward, waved his long halberd, and said, "Boy, Han Feng will fight!"
Xu Minqi was not made for war at all, he was submissive, and when he saw Han Feng, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, he was holding a long spear, staggered here and there, the tip of the gun was too heavy, and he brought the tall Xu Minqi back and forth, As if he was about to fall down at any moment.
"Hahaha--"
The spectators on the tower erupted into laughter, the monk started laughing, and his cronies immediately followed suit, the laughter was incomparably wanton, as if watching a cockfight.
Xu Minqi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, General Han...I can't do it, I don't know how to fight..."
He Shikai saw that they were dawdling and hadn't started yet, so he smiled ferociously and said, "Yes, I almost forgot, I also prepared a generous gift for the Zhou thief... A few days ago in Pingyang, my wrestlers beheaded A Zhou thief's head, I heard it is the second younger brother of the general of the town army, come here, take out the head and give it back to them!"
Snapped--! !
As soon as He Shikai finished speaking, a human head fell from the sky and was thrown directly from the top of the city gate. The head had been old for some time, the blood had dried up, and it had stopped bleeding for a long time. On the face, there was a loud bang, hitting the ground of the city gate, and immediately the pieces of meat flew across Xu Minqi's body.
"Hey——" Xu Minqi was trembling with fright, and stammered: "Head, head!"
Yang Jian's eyes shrank violently, staring at the head that fell from the sky, his hands gripped the reins tightly, his knuckles creaked, and his whole body trembled slightly. The blue veins protruded violently and kept beating.
Yang Zheng...
It was Yang Zheng's head!
Han Feng stared at it and roared angrily, "You dog thief!!!"
As he said, his eyes were red, and he charged forward with the long halberd, "Dang——!" Xu Minqi doesn't know martial arts at all, let alone Han Feng's opponent. The spear was picked up by the long halberd, and Han Feng was not needed at all. When he made a move, his body was unstable, and Xu Minqi immediately rolled to the ground with a wheel.
"Hahaha!"
"Like a bastard!"
"General, look quickly, hahaha——"
He Shikai stood at the city gate to watch the excitement, and said, "Fight! Keep fighting! Hurry up!"
Tang Yong frowned, he was the toughest person, and what He Shikai did was not a war at all, he couldn't stand it at all, because he was not the commander in chief, and he didn't have the right to speak, so he simply turned and left the city gate, out of sight For the net.
"Open, open the door..." Xu Minqi fell a big ass, immediately got up from the ground, patted the gate of Dingyang, and shouted: "Your servant, I don't know how to fight, let me go!" I'll go in... go, open the door quickly..."
He Shi laughed enough, so he said: "Let's come here today. If you have the ability, you can fight into the city. If you don't, I won't accompany you!"
As he said that, he walked back laughing wildly, his cronies chased after him, flattering him all the way, leaving only Xu Minqi knocking on the door outside and shouting.
Yu Wenxian asked for instructions, "General?"
Yang Jian's eyes were as calm as water, and he said, "Escort Xu Minqi."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately rushed forward and arrested Xu Minqi, a medical officer from the Qi people. Xu Minqi had no room to resist at all, and couldn't enter the city gate.
All the Qi people dispersed, leaving only the soldiers guarding the city. Yang Jian then urged the horse to move forward slowly. Staring at the head thrown from the tower...
The head had already lost one eye, and a long arrow pierced through the entire head. Black blood stains filled the face, and the hair on the sideburns stuck together in disorder, rolling in the loess, stained with countless dirt.
Yang Jian looked at the head quietly, without speaking or expression, as if it had become a statue.
But at this time, Yang Guang suddenly yelled "Father!", and heard a "gudong—" Yang Jian's body tilted without warning, and he fell directly from the horse's back and fell into the loess , motionless.
"General!"
"Sir!"
The crowd immediately urged their horses forward, rushed forward, and helped up Yang Jian who had fallen and fainted. Yang Jian completely lost consciousness and remained motionless. Gao Changgong stretched out his hand to test his forehead, and said, "The fever is serious, hurry up, carry it back."
Everyone put Yang Jian on the horseback, took the captive Xu Minqi, and immediately headed for the camp where they were stationed.
Yang Jian behaved very calmly along the way, as if nothing happened. He never said a word to others, and his demeanor was the same as usual. He commanded the battle smoothly, accurately and methodically.
The accompanying doctors gathered in the tent of the chief general to diagnose and treat Yang Jian. Yang Jian was obviously depressed and held back everything.
"Pingyang urgent report! The general of the chariot and rider died in battle!"
"Pingyang Urgent Report——"
"Pingyang has fallen! The team of the general of chariots has withdrawn from Pingyang, and was forced to retreat to Yaoxiang City by the Qi army!"
"Father……"
"Father?"
"Father!"
Yang Guang's milky voice sounded, and Yang Jian's attention was suddenly drawn back, and everyone's eyes were on Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's eyes were extremely sharp, and he squinted and said, "What's going on?!"
The soldier knelt on the ground and said: "The humble general escaped from Yao Xiangcheng! There are traitors in the army of the general of chariots! That dog thief was bought by the people of Qi and betrayed us!"
The chariot general Yang Zheng and his third younger brother Yang Zan have been stationed in Pingyang with their troops, and they can attack Jinyang from three sides. Who knew that something went wrong at this juncture.
The Northern Qi Dynasty sent a new chief general, this person is the confidant of the emperor of Qi people, almost no one can match him, he is the famous He Shikai.
He Shikai was not one of the three nobles in the Northern Qi Dynasty, nor was he one of the eight nobles. It was not that He Shikai's status was not high enough, but that He Shikai died too early. Can't compare with him.
He Shikai is the favorite minister of the Northern Qi Emperor. It is said that He Shikai is smooth and frivolous, and he is suspected of having an affair with many people, such as the former Gao Anagong, such as the Northern Qi Emperor. Not only that, he also had an affair with Queen Hu suspected.Always sit and hold the lance with Queen Hu, and make physical contact.
Holding a lance is not the literal meaning of holding a long lance, but a small game of chess in ancient times.
He Shikai enjoys a good reputation in Northern Qi and has a wide network of contacts. This time, the Emperor of Northern Qi sent him to Pingyang to take over Gao Yanzong's position.He Shikai's family was born as a merchant, and he didn't have much talent for leading troops, but he spent a lot of money to bribe the generals stationed in Pingyang. Yang Zheng was betrayed, and He Shikai's army succeeded in a surprise attack. disadvantage.
Yang Zheng and Yang Zan were in Pingyang, surrounded by Qi people's territory. They were suddenly attacked. Yang Zheng died in a fierce battle. The army's morale was in turmoil.
Because He Shikai had bought off the generals of the Zhou division, he had a clear picture of their food and grass marching. Yang Zan led the army and retreated and fought.
Yaoxiang City is backed by the Yellow River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very dangerous. Yang Zan ordered to enter the city and build defenses in the city. Order the Qi army to block Yang Zan's grain road.
Yaoxiang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is indeed an excellent position for defense, but because of the terrain, it is not only difficult for other people's troops to enter, but it is also difficult for your own supply troops to enter.
He Shikai had people block the grain road supplying Yaoxiang City, and at the same time, there were troops stationed in Dingyang, southeast of Yaoxiang City, trying to trap Yang Zan alive.
Yang Zan's army was trapped in Yaoxiang City, and the food consumption was insufficient and could not be replenished. Yang Zan went out to meet the enemy, attracting the attention of the Qi army, and at the same time sent a lone cavalry to sneak out of Yaoxiang while the enemy was not paying attention. City, rushed to Jinyang to send a letter, asking for the support of the army.
The soldier cried and said: "The general Cheqi fought bloody, let me wait to evacuate, and finally... finally died of exhaustion, listen... I heard that the head was beheaded by the Qi thief!"
Yang Jian's face became calmer and calmer. Others might have thought that Yang Jian would be furious when he heard this, but what he didn't expect was that the more Yang Jian listened back, the calmer he became, with his usual gentle face. , expressionless, calm as if a pool of stagnant water.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, but his voice was slightly hoarse, and said, "Jian must face the saint, now."
The little emperor Yu Wenyong also heard that Yang Zheng's [-] troops were stationed in Pingyang, but they were betrayed and attacked. Yang Zan died of exhaustion in order to protect the army. Yang Zan led the army to retreat and was trapped in Yaoxiang City, at a disadvantage. , if they don't go to support, the [-] army is likely to be trapped in Yaoxiang City.
He Shikai's method is not insidious. On the one hand, he blocked the grain road of Yaoxiang City, and on the other hand, he blocked the river channel crossing the Yellow River. It is almost impossible for a [-] army to cross the river from Yaoxiang City. , In this way, Yaoxiang City will become a dead city!
Yang Zheng and Yang Zan are Yang Jian's younger brothers. If Yang Jian chooses to go to the rescue in person, he will leave Jinyang.Yang Jian has put in a lot of hard work to be able to be stationed outside Jinyang today. Once he leaves and the little emperor Yu Wenyong is stationed in Jinyang again, Yang Jian will lose the initiative to compete for Jinyang. The wedding dress is also the scene that the little emperor Yu Wenyong wants to see the most...
"Wait!" Seeing that Yang Jian was about to face the saint, Yu Wenhui immediately stretched out his hand to stop Yang Jian. His throat was rolling and he was a little hoarse, and his face was unexpectedly serious. He said, "Think about it, once you leave Jinyang, It is equivalent to losing Jinyang... You are worthy of joining forces with Grandpa. You had a great chance to win Jinyang and win the first prize, but now... even if we don't have Pingyang's help, Jinyang is still in the bag, so ...Are you still going to Pingyang?"
The meaning of Yuwenhui is obvious. The [-] troops in Pingyang were disintegrated and had already retreated to Yaoxiang City by the Yellow River. They could not attack Jinyang with them on three sides. At this time, it is unreasonable to give up the hot Jinyang and go back to eating the cold steamed bun of Yao Xiangcheng.
Yang Jian glanced at Yuwenhui, nodded, and said, "Even so, Jian still wants to go. If Master Yuwen was deeply trapped in Yaoxiang City today, would you drop everything and rush over?"
Yu Wenhui was taken aback, and slowly let go of Yang Jian's hand. There was no sound for a while, then he raised his head and said, "I will go to Yaoxiang with you!"
Yang Jian didn't talk nonsense, and immediately turned around and went to the Tianzi's tent. After hearing the news, many people came, and when Yang Jian arrived at the Tianzi's tent, the others also rushed.
Yu Wenyong frowned, and said worriedly: "I've heard about it, I've heard about it all, General Cheqi, alas..." He sighed a long time at this point.
The situation suddenly changed, and [-] Master Zhou fell. Although Master Zhou was also Yu Wenyong's Master Zhou, judging from the current situation, it turned out to be beneficial to Yu Wenyong, so Yu Wenyong didn't want to stop Yang Jian at all, but was very understanding , Said: "Since the general of the town army wants to help Yao Xiangcheng, I respect the general's meaning. Jinyang is still sitting in the town with the widow and the Otsuka governor. The general does not have to worry too much."
Listening to Yu Wenyong's words, Yang Jian still had no expression on his face. It seemed that whether Yu Wenyong was crying or laughing, happy or sad at this time had nothing to do with him.
Yu Wenyong also said: "It is not too late. The aid to Yao Xiangcheng should be set off as soon as possible. The soldiers should be dispatched immediately. The widow will personally send the general of the town army to set off."
Yang Jian just cupped his hands, left the emperor's camp quickly, and ordered troops immediately.
It is not that simple to help Yaoxiangcheng, but it is not possible to drive from Jinyang to Yaoxiangcheng, and Dingyang in the southeast direction must be defeated. There may be a sneak attack.
Yang Jian personally ordered the team to set off. In order to express his sincerity, Yu Wenyong specially asked people to prepare a lot of food, grass and food, and personally sent Yang Jian and others to the gate of the camp, almost sending them out of the camp.
After all, whether Yang Jian is going to fight Dingyang or Yao Xiangcheng, it is beneficial for Yu Wenyong to come over, and once Yang Jian leaves, Jinyang will belong to Yu Wenyong. bird".
Yu Wenyong said: "The general is going, please pay attention, Qi people are cunning, it is really hateful, we must avenge the general of the car and ride."
Yang Jian's eyes were calm, without seeing any waves, he just cupped his hands to Yu Wenyong and said, "It's getting late, it's time for Jian to set off."
Yu Wenyong nodded and said, "I won't leave you alone, let's go."
Yang Jian went to rectify the soldiers and horses and was ready to set off. Yu Wenyong saw Qi Guogong Yu Wenxian in the departure queue. Yu Wenxian was also Yu Wenyong's younger brother, but Yu Wenxian was not the younger brother of the little emperor with the same father and mother, but a half-brother. Brother, although the two of them are not too close, but because Yu Wenxian behaves well, the little emperor does not dislike him.
Yu Wenyong walked up to Yu Wenxian and said, "Fifth brother."
Yu Wenxian cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven."
Yu Wenyong said: "Your brother doesn't have to be so polite. There are not many brothers left in the widow. If you have such a relationship with the widow, it will make the widow sigh."
Wei Guogong Yu Wenzhi handed it over to Otsuka Zai, and the consequences can be imagined. From now on, there will be no such person as Yu Wenzhi.
Yu Wenxian is a delicate and sweet person, the owner has never been very close to him, suddenly he said such intimate words, there must be some reason, so Yu Wenxian did not answer the words immediately.
Sure enough, Yu Wenyong said: "Now the general of the Zhenjun is here to help Yao Xiangcheng, and you follow him, brother. You must take good care of the general for the widow, do you understand?"
What Yu Wenyong said was too euphemistic, because Yu Wenxian is a smart person, he knew that no matter how euphemistic he said, Yu Wenxian, a Linglong darling, could understand him, and he meant to let Yu Wenxian monitor Yang Jian.
Along the way, Yu Wenxian came here to monitor Yang Jian, but after experiencing so much on the road, Yu Wenxian actually "too lazy" to monitor Yang Jian.
Yu Wenxian remained calm, neither refused nor agreed, but said: "This is a matter of my younger brother's duty, please rest assured."
Yu Wenyong nodded and said: "My younger brother and the widow are brothers after all, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If the widow doesn't entrust it to my younger brother, who else can I entrust it to?"
Yu Wenxian did not speak again, and found an excuse, saying: "The emperor forgives the sin, the army will set off immediately, and the younger brother will leave first."
"Let's go." Yu Wenyong didn't keep him any longer, and let Yu Wenxian leave.
Yu Wenyong turned around and wanted to go back to the emperor's tent, when he suddenly saw a slender figure standing in the crowd, much thinner than the others, who was adjusting the bridle of the horse and was also in the starting queue.
It's Yuchi Youqi...
Yu Wenyong squinted his eyes, walked over casually, and said, "You're leaving too?"
When Yu Chi Youqi saw Yu Wenyong, he immediately cupped his hands in salute, and said, "My lord."
Yu Wenyong continued to talk to himself lightly: "The widow did not keep you, because the widow wanted to let you know... It was your mistake, following the wrong master."
The army quickly rectified and set off immediately. Yang Jian led the team to march in a hurry, and didn't stop to set up camp until it was dark.
After camping, the people did not rest and go to bed, but gathered in the shogunate to discuss the military situation.
Yang Jian stared at the topographic map on the table with a serious face, and Yu Wenhui said: "If we want to help Yao Xiangcheng, our first goal must be Dingyang."
He said, "Knock, knock!" He bent his fingers and knocked on Dingyang in the southeast of Yaoxiang City.
He Shikai's army defended Dingyang, cut off the grain and river channels of Yaoxiang City, and blocked all of Yang Zan's exits. The Zhou division just rushed to Yaoxiang City, not understanding the urgent need at all. Take it down and drive away the Qi army. In this way, the crisis in Yao Xiangcheng can naturally be solved.
Gao Changgong pondered for a while, and said: "He Shikai doesn't have any talent for leading troops, but he holds [-] troops of the Qi army in his hand. Although the general has [-] troops, he has only [-] left in Jinyang. There are [-] troops left, and these [-] troops are not regular troops, they are all recruited mob troops, and if they want to fight Dingyang head-on, they are almost hitting a stone with an egg..."
In particular, their army is still walking on the border of the Qi people. This is the east of the Yellow River, not the west of the Yellow River. They not only have to fight against Dingyang's army, but also face harassment from other Qi armies at any time, which is even more difficult. Difficult.
Gao Yanzong clapped the case and said angrily: "The grandson of He Shikai must have laid down a heavy defense in Dingyang, and he is waiting for us to rescue Yao Xiangcheng. He wants to wipe us out! We are like this In the past, wouldn’t you have thrown yourself into a trap?”
Han Feng sneered and said: "It's just a Heshikai, he rubbed him! Let me be the vanguard, and I'll cut off his head and seeds for you!"
Yu Wenxian frowned and said: "Now is not the time to act impulsively, General Han please calm down."
Hao Abao said: "The river course was also blocked by them. I asked someone to check it out. The people from Heshikai occupied the river course. It is almost impossible to touch the backside of Yaoxiang City."
Everyone spoke to each other, and the entire tent of the shogunate fell into chaos. Yang Guang sat in the tent with folded eyes and arms folded, staring at the topographic map on the desk. Yang Jian whispered something in his ear.
Yang Guang has lived a whole life again, and unlike Yang Jian, he was from the Southern and Northern Dynasties in his previous life, so he experienced it again in this life, and at this time he thought of an idea to save Yao Xiangcheng.
After hearing this, Yang Jian nodded and raised his hand to stop the noisy discussion of the crowd.
When everyone saw Yang Jian raised his hand, they immediately fell silent, and all looked at Yang Jian, waiting for Yang Jian to speak.
Yang Jian had just lost his second younger brother, and everyone seemed to be afraid of touching his strings, so there was a sudden silence and a little cautious.
Yang Jian spoke calmly, pointed his finger on Dingyang, and said, "We don't fight Dingyang."
"Don't fight Dingyang?!" Yu Wenhui, Han Feng, Hao Abao and Langpi shouted almost in unison.
It is absolutely impossible to rescue Yao Xiangcheng without Dingyang.
Yang Jian's slender fingers slid down Dingyang to the southeast of Dingyang. "Da!" fell down and hit another county on the topographic map, and said succinctly: "Hit Yiyang."
This was the idea Yang Guang gave him just now. When everyone was in chaos, Yang Guang had already thought of a lot.He Shikai used such vicious tactics to trap Yang Zan and his army to death, so he must have thought that Jinyang's Zhou army would come to help, so Dingyang must be heavily guarded, and Yang Jian's miscellaneous army has not been well trained , Rushing over at this time is definitely looking for a dead end, it is really not worthwhile to hit a stone with an egg.
So Yang Guang thought of a way to let the Heshi leave Dingyang by himself, which is to attack Yiyang.
Yiyang is to the west of Luoyang. Due to the importance of Luoyang to the Northern Qi, Yiyang has always been a battleground between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi. Yiyang is also one of the key points of the Northern Qi. If Yiyang is hit hard, Then He Shikai will definitely give up Dingyang and go to aid Yiyang. This is a typical strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.
He Shikai led an army of [-], the main force was in Dingyang, Yiyang is very calm now, the main battlefield is in the north, the south will inevitably be ignored, at this time a sneak attack on Yiyang is the best time.
Everyone looked at Yiyang that Yang Jian was pointing at, and suddenly they all showed a look of enlightenment, and said, "Yes! Yiyang!"
Yu Wenhui patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of that! Yiyang, yes! When we attack Yiyang, the Qi army in Dingyang will definitely go south to support, so that the crisis in Yaoxiang City can be resolved."
Hao Abao said: "I can take my brothers to walk by water, so the speed is faster, and I can also take a shortcut!"
Yu Wenxian frowned and said: "There is only one problem. To attack Yiyang, we need to be unprepared. He Shikai must not find anything. Otherwise, once the people of Qi discover our plan to attack Yiyang, Yiyang will dispatch troops in advance. At that time, Dingyang's army will not need to rush to help Yiyang."
This is indeed the truth, but Yang Jian seemed to have a countermeasure long ago, saying: "So we need to divide our troops into three groups."
Yang Jian raised his index finger and said: "The first road is the waterway of General Hao and General Langpi. You cross the river by waterway, go directly south, and encircle Yiyang through our own territory."
Hao Abao and Wolfpi clasped their hands together and said, "Yes!"
Yang Jian shook his index finger and middle finger, and said: "Second route, the general and Lord Yu Wenlang lead the troops, we must advance carefully from the side road, touch Yiyang, and prepare to outflank."
Han Feng said eagerly: "What about me!? What am I doing?!"
Yang Jian finally said: "For the last route of soldiers and horses, follow Jian to Dingyang. It is bound to be a big fanfare to attract the attention of the Qi army and cover the first and second routes."
So it is!
Yang Jian was fighting psychological tactics with He Shikai. He Shikai killed Yang Zheng and angered Yang Jian. He wanted Yang Jian to lead troops to attack Dingyang with eggs, so Yang Jian fulfilled his wish and deliberately created a huge With momentum, he flew to Dingyang with a large army, which attracted He Shikai's full attention, and provided cover for Yuwenhui, Yuwenyong, Hao Abao and the wolfpi sneak attacking team.
When Yiyang fell, Heshikai and the others would panic, so they had no choice but to withdraw from Dingyang. After all, for them, Dingyang was just a tool city to block Yang Zan, and Yiyang was to protect Luo. The key point of Yang is dangerous once it is missed.
Without further ado, Hao Abao and Langpi immediately went to prepare for crossing the river, Yu Wenhui went to rectify the soldiers and horses, Yu Wenyong rectified the food and grass, and everyone was ready to go.
The night had already darkened, and Yang Jian left the shogunate camp, only to feel that the night outside was extremely dark, much darker than every day, and the darkness was just like his own state of mind.
Yang Jian walked slowly towards the camp where he was staying. He was exhausted from running all the way, and his body was inevitably a little burdened. His legs and arms had not yet fully recovered. Yang Jian walked back a little bit, only feeling that his legs were sore and weak. Shaking slightly.
He entered the tent, leaned on the table, and slowly sat on the bed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to touch it. It turned out that there was a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
Yang Jian was drying himself, when the curtain of the tent was knocked up with a "crash", it was the cheap son Yang Guang who came in, and Yang Guang's little meat was still holding a bowl of decoction in his hand, which was Yang Jian's daily medicine. , because of today's busy schedule, I almost forgot to take the medicine, but it's hard for Yang Guang to remember it.
Yang Guang brought the medicine over, but Yang Jian didn't say much, he directly took the decoction and drank it in one gulp, then showed a surprised expression, and said: "So this soup...is not really bitter."
The decoction that is extremely bitter every day does not feel so bitter today. Sure enough, many things need to be compared.
Yang Jian stared at the medicine bowl in a daze. When he parted from Yang Zheng and Yang Zan, Yang Zheng was still foolishly joking. How could he have thought that the parting at Tongguan was a farewell...
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Yang Guang said, "Father, pay attention to rest and don't collapse from exhaustion."
Yang Jian nodded and said, "You also go to bed earlier."
The crowd rested in the middle of the night, and the sky was getting brighter, and they set off immediately, and the army rushed towards Dingyang in great momentum.
He Shikai's army was stationed in Dingyang as expected, it seemed that they had been expected to come to Dingyang for a long time, and they had already stood on the city gate to welcome them.
In autumn, Dingyang City is in a haze, today there is wind, and the yellow sand is densely covered in the sky.
The Qi army in Dingyang was garrisoned very tightly, with archers lined up neatly on the top of the city, and He Shikai stood in the crowd, laughing and saying, "The Zhou dog thief is here!"
"Zhou Dog! Zhou Dog!"
"Zhou Dog was killed by our general, yet he dared to come!"
"Kill Zhougou—"
He Shikai's cronies immediately shouted, mocking voices drifting down from the tower.
Yang Jian sat on the horse, squinted his eyes, and clenched his hands into fists, but didn't speak immediately.
He Shikai said again: "Yes, I will introduce an old friend to you Zhougou. I think you have already met!"
As He Shikai spoke, he turned his head and shouted behind his back: "General Tang, why are you ashamed!"
It turned out to be Tang Yong!
A tall man came out from the tower. The man was dressed in black, with stubble on his chin, and a serious face with Chinese characters. It was indeed Tang Yong. They met in Fenshui not long ago.
After Tang Yong left Fenshui, he should have returned directly to Yecheng to return to his command, but unfortunately, He Shikai sent troops to attack Pingyang, killed General Yang Zheng, and forced Zhou Shi to retreat to Yaoxiang City. Therefore, the Northern Qi emperor temporarily ordered Tang Yong to change his course and go to Dingyang to help garrison Yao Xiangcheng, while Feng Xiaolian was sent back to Yecheng by others.
Tang Yong stood on the tower and looked down, squinting his eyes and said: "General He, the thief Zhou is cunning this week, and I have already followed his way. We only need to guard Dingyang, and we don't need to talk too much with them, so as not to fall into Zhou's trap." Thief's plan."
But He Shikai laughed and said: "Is General Tang being too cautious? Before I met Zhou Bandit, everyone said how powerful Zhou Bandit was. I saw him today, but it was only mediocre. General Tang is in Zhou Bandit's hands." If I suffer, I will not suffer."
He Shikai obviously looked down on Tang Yong, and Tang Yong's persuasion didn't work at all, but backfired.
He Shikai said again: "The iron wall of Dingyang Bronze City is like a golden soup! I have a [-]-strong army in my hand, and the bandits led by us are just the old and weak soldiers we discarded. How can they compete with me?"
He Shikai patted the piles on the city gate, and said leisurely: "I not only want to beat the Zhou thieves to pieces, but also beat them to shame! General Tang, just watch carefully!"
He Shikai obviously became obstinate, Tang Yong immediately advised him, saying: "General He..."
Before he finished speaking, He Shikai had already said: "General Tang, the imperial court sent you here to assist General Yu Ben, not to tell you what to do! A defeated general who was defeated by the Zhou bandits, what qualifications do you have to tell me what to do?" !?"
He Shikai was full of disdain, bowed his head to Yang Jian who was under the city gate and said with a smile: "If you want to rush to help Yao Xiangcheng, go to Dingyang first! Come on!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his cronies immediately nodded and bowed, and left quickly, not knowing what He Shikai had ordered in advance.
Han Feng said coldly: "I have long thought that this warrior is not pleasing to the eye, let me fight in a while!"
Qi Guogong Yu Wenxian said: "General Han is brave and fearless. It is good to let General Han fight, which will help cover up his eyes and ears."
The purpose of their coming is to attract He Shikai's attention and cover for the other two lanes. Han Feng is aggressive, so he is indeed the best candidate.
Han Feng said: "Why do I listen, you don't seem to be praising me?"
Yang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, I will trouble General Han to take the lead."
He Shikai had already made arrangements. Dingyang is now a city of iron barrels. He Shikai calculated that Yang Jian would not be able to defeat Dingyang no matter what, so he planned to humiliate Yang Jian and accompany him stubbornly. He was ready a long time ago. The first person to fight.
The city gate quickly opened a gap, several soldiers of the Qi army pushed a man out of the city gate, everyone fixed their eyes and saw that this man was not wearing a jacket at all, but was actually wearing a medical officer's robe.
Han Feng said in shock: "Medical officer?!"
Medical officials are civilian officials among the heavenly officials, how could they go to the battlefield?
The city gate of Dingyang was opened, and a medical officer was pushed out, obviously looking down on them, He Shikai wanted to humiliate Yang Jian like this, just for fun.
The medical officer was probably around 20 years old, and he was dressed in the robes of a civil servant, so he could be said to be a tall type. If he wasn't wearing the robes of a civil servant, perhaps others would think he was really a general.
But the medical officer had a "submissive" appearance, a little hunched over with his chest in his chest, and he didn't dare to stretch out. He was holding a spear in his hand. This spear should be too heavy for him. secure.
The medical officer was pushed out by the Qi soldiers, and he wanted to turn around and run back, but at this moment the city gate was closed abruptly, keeping the medical officer out, this scene was like an arena, and He Shikai was the spectator.
The medical officer hurriedly patted the city gate and said, "General, general... He, He He and General, my servant is... a civil servant, really, really good at fighting... Open, open, open the door..."
The medical officer was not only cowardly, but also stuttered. He knocked on the door and shouted, which made the soldiers on the gate upstairs burst into laughter.
"Stutter! Hit!"
"Hit them!"
He Shikai was also amused and laughed, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you defeat the vanguard of the Zhou thief, this general will open the city gate."
Gao Yanzong looked at it from afar, and said, "This medical officer... is that kid surnamed Xu?"
Yang Jian turned his head and said, "You know?"
Gao Yanzong said: "It's too far away, and I can't see it clearly, but it looks like it. I don't know him, but I know his uncle and uncle."
Gao Yanzong said again: "Fourth brother, have you forgotten the medical officer surnamed Xu! Xu Zhicai's nephew!"
Gao Changgong suddenly showed a dazed expression, and said, "Looking at it this way, it really looks like Dr. Xu's nephew."
Hearing their conversation, Yang Guang seemed to understand, and immediately whispered a few words into Yang Jian's ear, and introduced Xu Zhicai's nephew to Yang Jian.
Xu Zhicai was a famous doctor in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and had a great influence on later generations.Xu Zhicai was intelligent when he was young, he could be called a child prodigy, he received higher education, because of his superb medical skills, he has been working as a medical officer in Northern Qi Dynasty, served several emperors in Northern Qi Dynasty, and the emperors were very dependent on Xu Zhicai.
Xu Zhicai has two sons, but neither of them are doctors. His younger brother and nephew are doctors. The cowardly medical officer in front of him is Xu Zhicai's nephew, named Xu Minqi, although his uncle and father They were all well-known medical officials in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Xu Minqi himself was not like that, he was just a little-known pawn.
Although Xu Zhicai was a medical officer, but because of his superb medical skills, the Emperor of Northern Qi trusted him completely. In addition, Xu Zhicai was not dull and could speak well, so he could be said to have a prosperous official career. His nephew Xu Minqi was just the opposite.
Xu Minqi was born with a stutter, although he was born tall like a general, but he wasted his good body in vain, always hunched over, with his chest slightly hunched, as if he didn't dare to stretch, he stuttered in his speech on weekdays, and he always spoke clichés , very pedantic.
He Shikai sent a stuttering medical officer to fight for a reason. On the one hand, he looked down on Yang Jian and felt that Yang Jian was nothing to fear. He sent a medical officer to fight because he wanted to humiliate Yang Jian.
On the other hand, he also looked down on the Xu family. He Shikai was the emperor's number one favorite, but the emperor was weak and sick, so he couldn't do without Xu Zhicai. Apart from medical skills, Xu Zhicai was also very good at talking. Very wary.If it is a favored minister, such as a general, a scribe, etc., he will be killed if he is killed. The emperor may not even frown, but Xu Zhicai is a medical officer. Looking around the world, there is no one who is better at healing than Xu Zhicai. Whenever the emperor has a headache and brain fever, Xu Zhicai can cure the disease with the medicine and has extraordinary attainments, so the emperor is reluctant to part with Xu Zhicai.
It can be said that Xu Zhicai was a stumbling block for He Shikai to be favored, but Xu Zhicai had real talents and knowledge, and He Shikai couldn't bring him down, so he had to vent his anger on Xu Zhicai, his nephew.
When He Shikai was about to set off for the expedition, he proposed that Xu Zhicai's nephew Xu Minqi be a military doctor to accompany him. The Northern Qi emperor favored He Shikai and approved it without any doubt.
Therefore, He Shikai asked Xu Minqi to take the lead, in fact, it was for public revenge. If Xu Minqi died, it would not be his fault. Anyway, Zhou people did it. Even if Xu Zhicai resented him, he would have nothing to say.
Yang Jian was here to delay the opportunity, and it didn't matter who Shi Kai sent to the expedition, so Yang Jian turned his head to Han Feng and said, "Please trouble General Han."
Han Feng immediately drove his horse forward, waved his long halberd, and said, "Boy, Han Feng will fight!"
Xu Minqi was not made for war at all, he was submissive, and when he saw Han Feng, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, he was holding a long spear, staggered here and there, the tip of the gun was too heavy, and he brought the tall Xu Minqi back and forth, As if he was about to fall down at any moment.
"Hahaha--"
The spectators on the tower erupted into laughter, the monk started laughing, and his cronies immediately followed suit, the laughter was incomparably wanton, as if watching a cockfight.
Xu Minqi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, General Han...I can't do it, I don't know how to fight..."
He Shikai saw that they were dawdling and hadn't started yet, so he smiled ferociously and said, "Yes, I almost forgot, I also prepared a generous gift for the Zhou thief... A few days ago in Pingyang, my wrestlers beheaded A Zhou thief's head, I heard it is the second younger brother of the general of the town army, come here, take out the head and give it back to them!"
Snapped--! !
As soon as He Shikai finished speaking, a human head fell from the sky and was thrown directly from the top of the city gate. The head had been old for some time, the blood had dried up, and it had stopped bleeding for a long time. On the face, there was a loud bang, hitting the ground of the city gate, and immediately the pieces of meat flew across Xu Minqi's body.
"Hey——" Xu Minqi was trembling with fright, and stammered: "Head, head!"
Yang Jian's eyes shrank violently, staring at the head that fell from the sky, his hands gripped the reins tightly, his knuckles creaked, and his whole body trembled slightly. The blue veins protruded violently and kept beating.
Yang Zheng...
It was Yang Zheng's head!
Han Feng stared at it and roared angrily, "You dog thief!!!"
As he said, his eyes were red, and he charged forward with the long halberd, "Dang——!" Xu Minqi doesn't know martial arts at all, let alone Han Feng's opponent. The spear was picked up by the long halberd, and Han Feng was not needed at all. When he made a move, his body was unstable, and Xu Minqi immediately rolled to the ground with a wheel.
"Hahaha!"
"Like a bastard!"
"General, look quickly, hahaha——"
He Shikai stood at the city gate to watch the excitement, and said, "Fight! Keep fighting! Hurry up!"
Tang Yong frowned, he was the toughest person, and what He Shikai did was not a war at all, he couldn't stand it at all, because he was not the commander in chief, and he didn't have the right to speak, so he simply turned and left the city gate, out of sight For the net.
"Open, open the door..." Xu Minqi fell a big ass, immediately got up from the ground, patted the gate of Dingyang, and shouted: "Your servant, I don't know how to fight, let me go!" I'll go in... go, open the door quickly..."
He Shi laughed enough, so he said: "Let's come here today. If you have the ability, you can fight into the city. If you don't, I won't accompany you!"
As he said that, he walked back laughing wildly, his cronies chased after him, flattering him all the way, leaving only Xu Minqi knocking on the door outside and shouting.
Yu Wenxian asked for instructions, "General?"
Yang Jian's eyes were as calm as water, and he said, "Escort Xu Minqi."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately rushed forward and arrested Xu Minqi, a medical officer from the Qi people. Xu Minqi had no room to resist at all, and couldn't enter the city gate.
All the Qi people dispersed, leaving only the soldiers guarding the city. Yang Jian then urged the horse to move forward slowly. Staring at the head thrown from the tower...
The head had already lost one eye, and a long arrow pierced through the entire head. Black blood stains filled the face, and the hair on the sideburns stuck together in disorder, rolling in the loess, stained with countless dirt.
Yang Jian looked at the head quietly, without speaking or expression, as if it had become a statue.
But at this time, Yang Guang suddenly yelled "Father!", and heard a "gudong—" Yang Jian's body tilted without warning, and he fell directly from the horse's back and fell into the loess , motionless.
"General!"
"Sir!"
The crowd immediately urged their horses forward, rushed forward, and helped up Yang Jian who had fallen and fainted. Yang Jian completely lost consciousness and remained motionless. Gao Changgong stretched out his hand to test his forehead, and said, "The fever is serious, hurry up, carry it back."
Everyone put Yang Jian on the horseback, took the captive Xu Minqi, and immediately headed for the camp where they were stationed.
Yang Jian behaved very calmly along the way, as if nothing happened. He never said a word to others, and his demeanor was the same as usual. He commanded the battle smoothly, accurately and methodically.
The accompanying doctors gathered in the tent of the chief general to diagnose and treat Yang Jian. Yang Jian was obviously depressed and held back everything.
