Chapter 548: Crossing mountains and ridges to meet

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The Northern Han State was slightly shorter than the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Guo Wei entered Tokyo, the Liu family became emperor in Jinyang. However, the years of Jinyang City were too long, and this building complex as an imperial palace was not built by the Northern Han State. They had no money and all their only national strength was used for military purposes.

The old and mottled walls in the palace, even the bricks and stones on the floor, were broken, and they were repaired with some corner stones. The color of the entire house was gray and black.

Only some silk fabrics and decorations add a bit of brightness, and the dress on the king Liu Jun is more decent.

Liu Jun walked around the warm pavilion, and the Sikong minister Guo Yuan, general Yang Ye and Feng Jinke outside the door were all bent down and stood there. They could not look up and look around or look at Liu Jun. They could only see the black figure shaking on the broken brick floor, and the shadow's hands were carried and rubbed in front.

The Emperor of Zhou led the army to fight in person!

Liu Jun was frightened at this time, feeling that Zhou State was going to make a lot of money this year; the ministers also judged this way that the Northern Han State should have become the main target of the Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Jun suddenly felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted that under the opportunity of Er Li's rebellion, he did not do his best to deal with the turbulent Zhou Dynasty at that time; perhaps it might not be possible at that time, but at least he had fought for it... Today he truly realized that in the world where the strong prey on the weak, the only way to protect himself is to let the enemy perish.

This is true for people. No matter how many truths others say or a hundred times, it will be useless if you don’t understand them.

He didn't want to be enterprising in the past because he had neither confidence nor motivation.

After the Battle of Gaoping, Chai Rong of Zhou led his troops to surround Jinyang for more than a month. Liu Jun personally felt that it was difficult to defeat the Zhou army; in addition, he did not have a biological son, so he just wanted to protect himself.

But now I find it is not easy to protect myself.

At this moment, he walked out the door and said: The Han army must retreat without fighting. They must send a large army to fight against the Zhou army and try to repel the invaders outside Jinyang!

Guo Yuan bowed and said: The enemy soldiers are coming in a fierce manner, and I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will not have enough troops.

Liu Jun said seriously: Since ancient times, there are not necessarily people on the battlefield, whoever has won.Otherwise, the number of players will be compared to the winning or losing. Why bother to fight again?

After hearing this, several ministers couldn't answer.

Liu Jun immediately ordered Yang Ye to be the head coach and Feng Jinke to be the deputy head coach, and sent another military supervisor to ask them to mobilize the elite troops of the guards to go south to resist the enemy.

...Yang Ye led the order to walk out of the palace city, and couldn't help but stop and look at the surrounding scenery on the base.

The sight of an ancient city is the scene of a blue sky, but the ground is earthy and yellow. The tall city towers and the mountains below are shining.

(Jinyang was not in Taiyuan urban area at this time, but was south of Taiyuan, south of Jinyang Lake, and backed by the mountains on the west side.)

This is Longcheng, because many emperors made their fortunes after the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

The prosperity of this city is incomparable to the big cities in the Central Plains, but in Yang Ye’s opinion it is also a densely populated city... Compared with Linzhou where he was born, it is really a vast place to display.

Yang Ye's thoughts seemed to return to his hometown of Linzhou, where he grew up, a small border town near the Great Wall.

There are glaciers and ravines everywhere, yellow sand is everywhere, and the surrounding population is sparse.

He has a good background, and his father is the governor of Linzhou, but he has wanted to go out of that place since he was a child and looks forward to a bigger world.

Longcheng Jinyang is the place of dreams, and when he was young, he went to Jinyang to join the Northern Han master; his outstanding military achievements allowed him to occupy his foothold in Jinyang and won the trust of the Northern Han emperor.

Yang Ye calmed down and immediately went home to say goodbye to his wife and concubines, preparing to lead his army to the war.

The one who is most reluctant to leave his children is Hongying, the concubine who has been with him the shortest time.The red oriole is tearful and her eyes are as if she is reluctant to part with her life and death.

Yang Ye said kindly: I am a military general, and it is your duty to go to war, so you don’t need to worry.

Hongying wiped her tears with silk and choked and said: People from Northern Han have defected to the Khitan, and they are not good people at all. You don’t have to work too hard, you must have a dividend yourself...

After hearing this, Yang Ye was stunned, but after a moment he remembered that Hongying had been harmed by the Khitans, so it was understandable that such a statement was made, so he didn't think much about it.

A woman understands that collusion with the Liao Kingdom is not a big deal, so how can Yang Ye not understand?

Not only Yang Ye, I'm afraid the Northern Han lord and most Han people had no good feelings for the Liao Kingdom, but how could the Northern Han confront the Central Committee without relying on the Liao Kingdom?

We are not the same as Liao Kingdom. This is the exchange between countries, and I can’t explain it clearly in one sentence or two.Yang Ye comforted.

The red oriole is filled with pear blossoms, and said gently: With the reputation and ability of the husband, no matter who he votes for, he will be valued.

Yang Ye snorted, no longer wanting to say more to a woman.

This woman is so light-hearted that she can vote at will?

Can those with abilities be important in Northern Han?

Yang Ye was able to hold the position of a general of the Northern Han Kingdom, not only because he was good at fighting, but also because he followed the founding emperor of the Northern Han Kingdom in his young age.

From the perspective of righteousness, of course, the Northern Han Congress was criticized. No one would think that it was in harmony with the foreign race and enemy countries. After all, the Northern Han Dynasty was not the Liao Kingdom... Compared with righteousness, Yang Ye felt that his personal loyalty to the monarch was more valued by the world.

No matter which monarch it is, the first thing you see is probably not whether a person understands the righteousness, but whether loyalty is reliable.

Now that the Great Zhou Qiang, if Yang Ye immediately abandons the darkness and turns to the light, he thinks it is not a good thing.

……

Before the Northern Han Army went on war, Guo Shao had already learned that the Northern Han Army was going to come out to fight was Yang Ye.

He handed over the paper in his hand to Jingniang for safekeeping, and looked back at the military generals and ministers around him and said: Once he entered the Northern Han border, there will be a war. The person we will deal with in the first battle is Yang Ye.

Wang Pu immediately said: This person is famous and is known as "Yang Wudi".

Li Chuyun smiled and said: A few years ago, the Northern Han Dynasty was not yet a famous No. 1 general, Zhang Yuanhui, who was shot to death by the official family.Today, another Yang Wudi came, which happened to start a war and sacrifice flag for the Great Zhou army!

Guo Shao didn't comment, but he had extra attention to this Yang Ye in his heart... because of the Yang family generals!

Although Yang Ye was not very famous at this time and was known as invincible, he was just because he could fight. In this war-torn world, there were more military generals who could fight, and Yang Ye’s current reputation may not be as good as that of later generations.

The image left by the Yang family generals to Guo Shao mainly comes from film and television, and they are heroes of the anti-Liao of the Song Dynasty.

No matter what, Guo Shao didn't want to kill Yang Ye at all. In his impression... Even those who were as alert and afraid of martial artists in Song Taizong could take Yang Ye, why can't he do it?

Continue to use Shi Yanchao as the striker to head north.When you meet Yang Ye, you will start a decisive battle!Guo Shao said.

He looked up and saw that the people and horses in the valley were walking along the winding valley road like black mountain torrents.

At this time, Zhang Guanghan's troops, which were originally stationed in Liaozhou, had already joined forces with the main force of Guo Shao's army, with a total force of more than 50,000. They are now marching near the Northern Han border.

The surroundings are full of loess low mountains with continuous gullies, roughly located hundreds of miles south of Jinyang; it is probably located between Taiyue Mountain and the eastern section of Taihang Mountain, and it should belong to the remnant of Taiyue Mountain. This mountainous area is continuous, but in comparison, it is not so steep and steep.

The road is not easy to walk on, the best way is the road along the Fen River west of Taiyue Mountain.

However, Guo Shao's elite troops chose the Qinlu Plateau in advance because the road was relatively close and he wanted to advance to Jinyang as soon as possible.

The road that the army took was along a dry valley.

It was Guo Shao who took advantage of the victory to attack Jinyang after the late emperor won a complete victory in the Gaoping War. So he knew that the water source on this road was also reliable. If there was no water source on the road, it would be a big problem.

There were dull sounds of horse hooves and footsteps everywhere, and the team was crawling slowly. Guo Shao rode his horse, talking to the people around him from time to time.On the road, riding a frame is not as easy as riding a horse.

The natural conditions in this mountain are not as good as those in the Central Plains. The wind is filled with sand and it is very dry. The scenery is apart from the gullies and the valleys.

Moreover, the vegetation seemed to be declining at this time. Anyway, it was February, and there were still large areas of exposed loess on the mountain, with only sparse shrubs and wormwood.

Sometimes when you can see blooming trees by the mountain, you can feel the breath of spring a little. Often, the soldiers turn around and wait and see.

I did not encounter any resistance along the way, and it was like this after walking for several days.Until one day when he walked to a big lake, Guo Shao recalled that he knew that the mountainous area had come to an end.

In the afternoon, Guo Shao passed through the lakeside along the road along the lakeside, and the front suddenly became clear.

However, the terrain is still not a plain. There are hillsides with gullies on the east side, and flat land in front and west. Those lands are dry and rarely plant crops. From a distance, Guo Shao remembers the things like Thousand Layers Cakes, because the earth looks layer by layer.

You have to go north to reach the plain area in southern Jinyang.

The Northern Han Army is a defensive force. After Yang Ye leaves Jinyang, he should wait for work in a relatively close place, and may not be far away.

Guo Shao asked the generals from the scout camp to ask, but still did not find any major shares of the Northern Han army.

That night, someone was sent to the vanguard to send an order, instructing the officials in the military office to write military orders: Ask Shi Yanchao to send more cavalry in front, first find out the places of the Northern Han army, and then do not advance rashly.Our army came from afar, exhausted, so we chose a place to station and repair it first, waiting for the follow-up army to follow up.

Guo Shao had some conspiracy. Shi Yanchao was quite abide by the rules and military orders in the battle formation, but he was really not a calm person. Moreover, this guy was harder to control than Lin Renzhao. Lin Renzhao at least listened to Liu Renzhan. Shi Yanchao didn't listen to anyone, and only the emperor could use him.

Fearing that he underestimated the enemy and made a rash move, Yang Ye's morale was first shrunk.

Guo Shao was not very relieved, and Dong Zunhui led the Third Army cavalry and horse infantry to deploy on the back of Shi Yanchao's right wing, and Zhang Guanghan led the Longjie cavalry of the two armies to be on the left wing.
