Chapter 286 Pre-war Spion

Before the closing of Yanmen, Tang Longyan sat on the horse and looked at a long queue. He was full of emotions. Suddenly, there was a slightly old but still strong question behind him: "What is Brother Tang thinking?"

Tang Longyan looked back and immediately clenched his fist and said, "Back to the marshal, it's nothing. I just feel that in such an expedition, how many families are wandering, living in no fixed place, how many families are separated, and the family is broken and people are destroyed. Zhao Jiong's words, the people are so poisonous."

Yang Ye nodded and sighed, "Why haven't these old men thought about it? However, if this Northern Expedition is one-off, it can be stable for several generations in Daizhou. In this way, it is still beneficial to your people." After saying that, he smiled and said, "This time, the general is very loud. In this expedition, I am just a deputy general, and the commander is General Pan."

"In my heart, you are the only commander General Yang, but in order to avoid suspicion, I just call you General Yang, so that Pan Mei won't chew her tongue." Tang Longyan nodded and said, "Of course I know this, otherwise I would not have helped the shameless man expand his territory again." After saying that, he looked at the army and waved to him, but immediately nodded and smiled at Huang Luohan, who was stared at by Long Kun's cold eyes, and sighed, "But if this big fight is really about winning, it is still unknown. I expect that Da Liao will definitely attack the weakness of my infantry with the strength of cavalry and decide the victory with me in the Song Dynasty on the plain, because Therefore, the East Road army is the key to the victory of this Northern Expedition.

A trace of approval flashed in Yang Ye's eyes. He nodded and said, "Brother Tang's idea coincided with me. This time, the army on the East Road led half of the people. The vast Liao army went deep into the hinterland, and there was the emperor's personal expedition to boost morale. That journey was naturally the best place for the Liao army to capture the Song Dynasty. Point. However--" Yang Ye turned his words and said with a serious look, "Our West Road army should also not be underestimated. As long as our speed is fast enough, we can meet with the West Road army as soon as possible, attack on both sides, and we are also not afraid of the Liao iron riders!"

Tang Longyan suddenly looked around and saw that Pan Mei's people were not by his side, so he whispered, "General Yang, although the army on the East Road held 130,000 troops, I heard that Zhao Jiong had a secret order to Pan Mei, saying that he wanted us to move forward quickly and attack the back mountain as soon as possible. In this way, the army on the East Road was just as bait to suck The Liao army in Youzhou has no time to take care of the Chinese and Western roads, so that these two roads can penetrate into the enemy and break through the division to attack You as soon as possible.

Yang Ye's expression changed and he was shocked: "So it is! No wonder General Pan has marched in such a hurry these days. Hearing that the army on East Road has not been out of the city for a long time, General Pan ordered us to be stationed 20 miles away from Huanzhou today. In less than three days, we will definitely face the Liao army in Huanzhou!"

"Isn't this the deployment of Deputy Yang? Why are you so elegant today? Why don't you talk and laugh here with the generals? Why don't you hear the discipline of our army? At this time, it's the way to march urgently. Aren't you so lazy that you want to eat boards with you? But Wang Yu, the supervisor, came over with a smile and said coldly to Yang Ye.

Seeing this, Yang Ye immediately wink at Tang Longyan and said harshly, "Why don't you retreat quickly!" Speaking of which, he held his fist at Wang Yu and said, "It turned out to be Wang Jianjun. The last general just discussed the military situation with his subordinates, not talking and laughing. At this time, the war is imminent. How dare the last general be so lazy? However, Wang Jianjun can point out in time so that the last general can wake up as soon as possible, and the last general wrote about Wang Jianjun's kindness first.

Tang Longyan looked at Wang Yu's majestic appearance and couldn't help shaking his head. Next to him, Zhou Tianyi rode a horse and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, this man is only a temporary supervisor. How can he be so arrogant that he doesn't even put General Yang? In the eyes?"

Tang Longyan shook his head helplessly and sighed: "They are Zhao Jiong's ears and eyes. At the critical moment, the weight of their words is even greater than Pan Mei's. That's why they dare to be so arrogant. However, many people will pay attention to it in the future. By the way, in the past few days, more people have been sent to protect General Yang's family, and two small teams of dragoons were selected to act as scouts on the way forward. I just took a general look at it. The information about the return of the scouts sent by Pan Mei is useless at all. Although the main force of the Liao army is not in the front at this time, the necessary precautions are still needed. Go quickly. Since it is fast , we can't slack off at all!"

What kind of army the dragon cavalry is? It can be used as a scout. It can be seen that Tang Longyan valued this northern expedition. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tianyi ordered two teams with a total of 20 people to quietly leave the brigade and went to a hidden place.

Sure enough, after a quarter of the month, two dragon cavalry pressed the four Liao people to come to Tang Longyan. Tang Longyan was slightly stunned and asked, "Where's Brother Zhou? Why didn't you see him?"

One of the dragon cavalry held his fist and said, "After returning to the adults, Commander Zhou explored around with us and finally found that there was a strange movement in the jungle. We suddenly arrived and captured four people alive in one game. Commander Zhou said that he would give the Liao people a blow this time, so he took other brothers to chase them. This time, the Liao army More than ten people were sent to wait, and Commander Zhou made a special explanation, please don't worry too much.

Tang Longyan nodded and said, "It's hard work." Come on, he turned around and disarmed, personally untied the rope of one of them, and asked, "Since you have observed our army so closely, you must understand what I'm saying, and you don't have to pretend. You don't have to look at me. An anxiety has flashed in his eyes just now, as if you are worried about your companion's ability to Don't return to Huanzhou safely..."

As soon as he said this, the rope on the Liao man had been untied. The Liao man suddenly roared and rushed to Tang Longyan. In his eyes, these dragon cavalry were all first-class. As their command, Tang Longyan's status must not be low. Since he was already there at this time If you are trapped in a cage and have no hope of going home, it's better to fight to the death here.

It's just that he chose the wrong object of the challenge. If Tang Longyan is not sure, how can he untie his rope? Moreover, he was not afraid of thousands of Liao people in the past. How can he be injured by a small scout now? He saw the Liao man rushing at him fiercely and was about to pinch his neck. He immediately took out his right hand and directly removed his arms and shoulders. For a moment, the Liao man only felt that his arms were loose. Even if he knew that he was dislocated, then he suddenly felt a pain in his throat. It turned out that he had Instead, he was choked by Tang Longyan and slowly raised it.

Tang Longyan did not stop, but also unloaded his legs, and then threw him to the ground without mercy. He suddenly rushed over, stared into the Liao man's eyes, and roared in a low voice, "Don't play any tricks with me. I could have killed your farts five years ago. Five years later God, it's the same!"

"You...you are Yang Jiajun!" The Liao man spoke the stiff Song words, his eyes were round, and he stared at Tang Longyan in disbelief. In the end, his eyes could only stay in front of Tang Longyan's eyes for a moment, and his head succumbed and no longer meant to resist.

When Tang Longyan saw him give in, he immediately said, "From now on, I will answer a question. Don't deceive me. I will ask your companions in the same way. If there is a sentence among you that doesn't match, that person between you will disappear forever. Of course, if you tell me is all the truth, I hereby promise you that I will let you go back to reunite with your families, but don't be happy too early. Huanzhou, we will capture it sooner or later. Well, that's all for gossip. Who are the people guarding the city in Huanzhou now? How many troops are there in total? How long can the grain last?

He asked this question to understand how long the West Road army can capture the city. If it wants to fight a protracted war, how long can the other party last? If it captures the city, how long the food and fodder in the city can supply their troops.

The Liao man had no momentum and only heard him slowly say, "At this moment, it is Lord Zhao Yanxin, the assassin of Liao Huanzhou. There are still more than 8,000 troops in the city, including 5,000 iron riders, 3,000 infantry, and sufficient grain and grass in the city. It can still support for a year. Your excellity is only the hunters on the outskirts of the city. During the war Forced to do this, please be gravitate and let us go home.

When Tang Longyan heard the front, he nodded, but when he heard the back, his expression suddenly changed and said harshly, "Are you hunters on the outskirts of the city? I don't think so. You don't have any callus on your hand. How can you be a hunter? A hunter like you, I'm afraid your family will die! Your econ is so smart that you can hide Pan Mei's scouts. If you are just a hunter, how can you have such a skill? I think your garrison is far more than 8,000. Think carefully, otherwise you will never see your family, whether the hunter is born or not. After saying that, Tang Longyan turned around and let the Liao man sit on the ground with a blue face.

At the moment when Tang Longyan turned around, he only heard the Liao man behind him say dejectedly, "That's all right. It's all said that you Song people are cunning. I didn't believe it before. Alas my bad luck. I admit defeat. Whether you let me go or not, I will admit defeat, but please let me die with dignity." It's just that he didn't see it. At this time, a smile appeared on Tang Longyan's face.

In the account of the commander of the Chinese army, Pan Mei is furious at the scouts: "I can't find out the intelligence of a Huanzhou. Why am I coming to raise you!" Several scouts were scolded so that they couldn't raise their heads. At this time, they were thinking about how to avoid this disaster.

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the door: "Report to the general, the third waiting team is back, and they said that there was important news to report to the general!"
