19. The last Yang family general
On May 27, Bianliang, it rained heavily.
Xiangfu Military Camp.
Zhao Ze walked to the sand table, inserted a small flag into Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, and said, "Our army can land here to prevent Wang Lun from going south. What does Captain Yang think!"
Yang Wenguang dressed up vigorously and frowned deeply. After listening to Zhao Ze's proposal, he asked, "Your Excellency, won't Wang Lun's man really escape from the sea?"
"Your Excellency, please look," Yang Wenguang pointed to the coast of Haizhou and said, "The East China Sea is close at hand. If Wang Lun is smart, he only needs to hijack several big ships. Once he escapes into the sea, we will have no trace!"
"This is just a possibility. If it really happens, I will find a way later. For today's solution, I will rush to the front of Wang Lun's group of thieves and wait for the opportunity to move. Captain Yang, please see that Wang Lun's rebellion is in Yizhou, and then goes all the way to Mizhou in the east. Why don't you go north to Qingzhou or Yanzhou in the west!"
Yang Wenguang replied, "If his subordinates guess correctly, Wang Lun must know that there are heavy troops in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and he can't get any benefits if he goes there. What's more, the pursuit is in front of him, and only going east to Michigan is the best strategy."
"Yes, there is no imperial army in Michigan, and there is no city defense. Wang Lun knows this best, so he will escape to Mizhou first to avoid the limelight of the officers and soldiers. When his troops are strong, he suddenly waved his army to the south. Fu Yongji, the inspector of Ying Tianfu, also confirmed this point. Since Wang Lun has entered Haizhou, the rest of the rest is only It depends on our expectation. I think that Wang Lun has only two ways to choose. One is to go south along the east coast and enter Chuzhou directly through the Lianshui Army station. There are many rivers and lakes there. If Wang Lun escapes there, it is very likely, but he also has five or six hundred people. How can he pass silently under the eyes of the Lianshui Army? Go, unless the Lianshui army is asleep. I have asked the people in the military department, and they also think it is impossible. Since it is unlikely that Wang Lun can directly pass through the Lianshui army station, there is only another way, which is here.
Zhao Ze pointed to the Huaiyang army in the southwest: "Wang Lun will not go north again, unless he wants to commit suicide, because the army of the official is chasing him behind, at least Wang Lun will think so, so he will look south and flee. Since the Lianshui army does not work, I guessed that he will choose the mountainous area in the northeast of the Huaiyang army, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is estimated that the Huaiyang army has not received the news of Wang Lun's rebellion. Even if they know it, there are not so many troops to ambush everywhere, so it is very likely that Wang Lun will pass here. As long as he avoids the Huaiyang Army and enters Sizhou, he can take a breath. The states and counties here are unable to fight against it at all..."
"What the lord said is very true, but what will Wang Lun do after he arrive in Sizhou? He will go south or west, or simply flee to the seaside." Yang Wenguang continued to ask, because he wanted to understand all Zhao Ze's intentions, and also wanted to know whether Zhao Ze really knew how to use troops. Lord Du also secretly told him.
"It is very difficult to go west. Whether it is Suzhou, Haozhou or Chuzhou, I stayed in Luzhou for a period of time and knew the situation there, so I dared to assert that Wang Lun did not dare to escape to the west."
"So," Yang Wenguang nodded and continued, "Wang Lun has to venture east through Yangzhou and then go south."
"That's right, so I'm going to get to Yangzhou in a short time. I hope to find Wang Lun's whereabouts as soon as possible!" Zhao Ze picked up a small wooden boat and put it on the Bian River in Chenliu County. "Be sure to rush to Yangzhou for half a month!"
The day of the expedition is coming.
Zhao Ze's diary opened a new page, including such a description of Yang Wenguang:
The ancient generals were always so mysterious and dazzling. Although his life was full of ups and downs, he had the physique of a good man who became famous.
Yang Wenguang's ancestors were all generals. His grandfather Yang Ye was a meritorious official of the founding of the Song Dynasty. At that time, he fought with Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu, and made great contributions. However, what really made Yang Ye famous in the first battle was the early battle of Yanmen Pass. At that time, Xiao Duoluo, the emperor's son-in-law of Liao, led 100,000 troops to invade Yanmen, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce. If you stick to it, I'm afraid it won't last long. In order to repel the enemy, General Yang Ye formulated an extremely risky sneak attack plan, which was intended to assassinate Xiao Duoluo, the commander of Liaoning.
This way of fighting was called beheading in my era. The main point is to steal, fast-in and fast-out. The people who participate in the operation must all be elite, look at death, kill the enemy with one blow, and destroy the enemy's command system.
When Yang Wenguang told me that his grandfather left most of the soldiers to stay in Guancheng at that time, he personally led 300 dead men to bypass the back of the Liao army, launched a raid at night, cut off Xiao Duoluo, the commander-in-chief of Liao, and captured the Liao general Li Chonghai alive, which made the Liao army afraid. "Seeing the banner of karma and lead away."
I was shocked, because in ancient times, there was not so much advanced equipment, no invisible camouflage, and no ultra-low-altitude silent fighters. In order to understand the happy mystery, I asked him, "How did Captain Yang's grandfather lead the army through the enemy's blockade line, how to bypass the camp of more than 100,000 Liao troops, and how to know. Where is the commander of the Liao army? Didn't the warriors around them find your grandfather?
Yang Wenguang told me that his grandfather did not plan to come back alive at that time. He even wrote a suicide note. He took his father and 300 dead men. He changed the military uniform of the Khitan people and sneaked out of the city overnight. Because he had been fighting with the Liao people at the border for many years. Grandpa knew the Khitan language and how to march the Khitan people.
The only difficulty is where Xiao Duoluo, the commander of the State of Liao, is. This person is more cunning. Unlike the previous general of Liao, he will change to a different place every night. In order to find Xiao Duoluo, Grandpa ventured to destroy an enemy's camp, captured a commander alive, and learned Xiao Duoluo's residence through forced inquiry.
That night, Grandpa was unforgettable for the rest of his life. When he and his subordinates broke into Xiao Duoluo's tent, they saw a lot of Khitan warriors drinking and having fun. Among them, there were not only Xiao Duoluo, but also their jiedushi Yelu Derong, Xiao Duoli, a servant, and several pro-military commanders. Not waiting for these people to react, Grandpa shouted. He cut at Xiao Duoluo with a knife, and the scuffle immediately began.
In the big tent, there were knives and swords, flesh and blood flying, and people kept falling down, and the screams alarmed the Khitan soldiers around...
Yang Wenguang's eyes were shining. Looking at the night sky and seeing the meteors flying by, he told me that more than 100 people died in this battle, and half of the main generals of the Khitans were killed. Before dawn, the Liao army camp was in chaos. Because without the generals, 100,000 troops could not act uniformly.
Grandpa sent a signal outside the city. The elite of the garrison of Yanmen Pass went straight to the Liao military camp. In less than an hour, he killed more than 3,000 enemy chiefs and captured more than 10,000 people. This battle completely shook the heart of the Liao army. In addition, there were fires everywhere in the Liao army camp, shouting in the fire. The sound of killing is shocking, and the victory of the Song army is a foreboding.
This is what I know about Yang Wenguang and his grandfather Yang Ye.
When I asked about his father, Yang Wenguang said excitedly, "My father has been loyal to the country for more than 40 years and died in Gaoyangguan. At that time, I was only two years old. My mother told me about him, but I can't remember much now!"
I really can't remember it, or I don't want to remember it. I think only Yang Wenguang knows it.
Although he doesn't want to say it, his electric eyes have told me that he has a greater ideal. He wants to do better than his grandfather and father. Maybe this is the only way to prove that he is the most outstanding general in Tianbo Yangfu in the future!
