92, Mu Ying crosses soldiers to take the east of the river (middle)
"This is a general!"
Zhou Liang also said with a smile.
When Yan Xing heard this, he laughed. Yang Feng's capture of Fenyin City this time was indeed a turn of things and was quite legendary.
Originally, Yang Feng led less than a thousand troops to attack Fenyin from the Pi family and wanted to sneak attack on Fenyin to obtain the key Hejin road crossing the river for Yan Xing's army. Unexpectedly, Wang Yi had reinforcements in Fenyin city, and there were county soldiers outside the city inspecting the river defense in batches.
Although Yang Feng killed two groups of county soldiers inspecting river defense, he planned to take advantage of the situation to change into the county soldiers' armored flags, find an opportunity to enter the city and capture Fenyin.
But unexpectedly, the blood stains that could not be wiped clean on these armor eventually aroused the suspicion of another team of soldiers inspecting the county outside the city. Therefore, just as Yang Feng was about to resist Fenyin City, his identity of his soldiers was discovered, and he had to reveal his true face and led his troops to kill another team of soldiers inspecting the river defense.
After the identity was discovered, Fenyin City suddenly felt like it was facing a great enemy, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were tense and ready to fight.
Yang Feng's troops had less than a thousand people, so they came to sneak attack Fenyin City. They were traveling lightly all the way, so naturally they did not carry the siege equipment. In addition, the Fen River was used as a moat outside Fenyin City, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Yang Feng's troops were difficult to attack.
As a last resort, Yang Feng could only bluff and send a message to the defenders in Fenyin City, "Hedong Prefect, General Yan Yan of Pingbei led 20,000 troops, and had crossed the river. The vanguard was at the city. If the city did not open the city gate quickly and break through the city, the butcher killed all the people without leaving any chickens and dogs."
At the same time, Yang Feng showed his flags in the suburbs of the city, stirring up smoke and dust at the Hejin Ferry, and the war drums shook the sky and horns were connected, pretending that there were signs of a large number of troops crossing the river to Fenyin, in order to confuse the defenders.
Under this heavy oppression, among the county soldiers guarding the city, there was a garrison leader who was grateful to Yan Xing, who had entered Hedong Pingbaibo in the first year of Yonghan, led his troops to open the city gate, put down the suspension bridge, and responded to Yang Feng's troops into the city. After the last fierce battle, Yang Feng killed the county soldiers guarding the city in the city, and thus was able to control Fenyin City.
This time, Yang Feng first fought fiercely and rushed to Fenyin. After being inspected by the county soldiers outside the city, he was able to use a clever plan to sneak into the city in disguise. Although the temporary change of this plan was discovered by the county soldiers, Yang Feng was still able to respond calmly, bluffed, pretending to be Yan Xing's army, and signs of coming to attack the city.
Taking advantage of this psychological deterrence, the city changed by chance. Yang Feng quickly seized the opportunity and took down the city, clearing the obstacles for Yan Xing's army to cross the river.
He is brave and resourceful, and as brave as a fight. This is what Yan Xing praised Yang Feng. If someone else had discovered his identity or the city gate suddenly opened, he would definitely choose to withdraw his troops or watch the situation. However, Yang Feng was swift and fierce, and rushed all the way until he took down the Fenyin City.
As for October of the first year of Yonghan, Yan Xing, Xu Kun and others led their troops into Hedong, joined forces with Li Jue and other three lieutenants, returned to Niu Fu's command, repelled and expelled Bai Bo. After the war, there were many soldiers and Chinese medicine craftsmen in the army, and many soldiers and soldiers in Hedong County were ignored. Only Yan Xing's battalion did not hesitate to save lives and take care of many injured soldiers.
Today, the injured soldier who was rescued has been promoted to the commander of the county soldiers for his military merits. Thanks to his life-saving grace, he opened the city gate and welcomed Yang Feng's troops into the city.
This matter was only because of the kindness and achievements of the commander Yan Xing, so Gan Ling, Zhou Liang and others praised each other.
"I said, 'Asking the dirty country is called the ruler of the country; receiving the bad country is about being the king of the world'. At that time, the generals in the army abandoned the wounded soldiers like worn-out shoes, but the generals were kind-hearted and worked tirelessly to treat them in time. Today, there is a place where this village is Changxing City Gate to repay the kindness. From this, we can see that the general's virtue and kindness should be the lord of Hedong. It is ridiculous that Wang Yi and others have worked hard to resist, but they are just going against the will of heaven and seeking death!"
Listening to Zhou Liang's praise, Yan Xing waved his hand and smiled. To this day, he is the commander of the army. How could he compete with his generals for this first merit, and he would not be proud and forgetful because of his first victory.
"Even if my kindness in those days could influence the soldiers of one or two counties, if there were no soldiers who broke into the city, how could this Fenyin be taken down!"
After saying this, Yan Xing waved his whip casually and greeted Gan Ling.
"Shusheng, I remember that when I was in Yunwu in the past, you and I enjoyed fighting with wine. Now that I have been through military affairs for a long time, I believe your riding skills are more exquisite. How about you and I compare the game today?"
Gan Ling heard Yan Xing talk about the past in Jincheng, and smiled, but shook his hand and said:
"Although Ling's riding skills have increased, the general's riding skills are even more extraordinary. I am afraid that I can't compare to the general, so I'd better admit defeat."
"Haha, don't delay it. If you can beat me, your good wine will be indispensable. Come out with your real skills!"
Yan Xing saw Gan Ling refuse, but he was unwilling to let go. After laughing, he turned his horse's head, galloped on his horse, ran down the high ground quickly, and rode his horse along the river bank.
When Gan Ling saw that Yan Xing had already rode out of the horse and quickly got off the high ground. He was afraid that Yan Xing would be in trouble if he rode alone, he hurriedly called the guards to get on the horse and rode down the high ground, chasing Yan Xing.
Seeing Yan Xing, Gan Ling and others competing, Xi Zhicai, Zhou Liang were all people who were not polite and law-abiding, they also smiled happily, but their riding skills were not as good as Yan Xing, Gan Ling and others. When they went down the high ground, they did not dare to gallop like two people. They could only carefully hold the reins and safely underground the high ground.
When they got off the high ground, they looked from a distance and saw that Yan Xing's men had turned into a black shadow. Even if they had a sudden idea, they would not be able to catch up with them any longer.
Zhou Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, it's rare that the general is in high spirits today. We, the civil servants, don't fight for this level. Let's wait for them to return here!"
Xi Zhicai replied with a smile:
“Very good.”
In the past, in Jincheng, Yan Xing and Gan Ling had a riding skills between the two. Gan Ling was the leader of Yunwu City at that time. He was very proud of himself and claimed to be a master of riding and shooting. He underestimated Yan Xing who came to challenge him. As a result, the two tied in shooting skills, but Yan Xing was slightly better than Yan Xing. Therefore, he was impressed by Yan Xing's ability. He did not fear difficulties and followed Yan Xing to this day.
Today, he was racing again. Although Yan Xing rode his horse first, he was interested in waiting for Ganling, so although he had opened a lot at the beginning, Ganling caught up soon after, and the two of them were barely running side by side, and it was hard to tell the difference.
When the cavalry followed saw Yan Xing, Gan Ling and the other two ran together. Instead of immediately forward to protect him, they consciously distanced a distance, followed closely behind and protected the two people in the rear.
"My brother's mount is very majestic, not inferior to the former Zhao Yebai!"
After Gan Ling rode his horse to catch up with Yan Xing, he saw that Yan Xing slowed down his horse speed again, so he also slowed down his horse speed and looked at Yan Xing with a smile and said.
Zhao Yebai's horse was when Yan Xing accidentally saved Pei Shu and his team when he was in Youfufeng. Pei Shu then gave the Zhao Yebai's horse in his hand to Yan Xing to thank him.
Unfortunately, the horse was traumatized on the battlefield and later unfortunately died on the way to escape.
Now, Yan Xing's mount is the mount of the captive general of Cao's army led by Xu Huang at the Bian River Ferry. It was named "White Hu". After Xu Huang returned to the camp, he presented this good horse to Yan Xing as his mount.
When Gan Ling talked about his mount, Yan Xing caused endless reverie.
Especially when I thought of the general who could only see his outline on the Bian River.
Cao Cao!
After hearing that after he obtained the territory of Dongjun, he was like a dragon entering the sea, and obtained talent like Xun Yu and others. He defeated Yu Du and Bai Luo and other black bandits who were rampant in Hebei with few enemies, and helped Yuan Benchu stabilize Jizhou and compete with Gongsun Bogui.
After Liu Dai died in the battle against the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao was even more supportive of the state. He had already led his troops to Yanzhou and drove away the Yanzhou governor Jin Shang, appointed by the court. In the following months, he had civil and military strategies, and after dozens of battles, he pacified the Qingxu Yellow Turban soldiers.
When Yan Xing was about to obtain the territory of Hedong, Cao Mengde, the defeated general who had lost his troops in the Bian River, had already occupied a state.
Although his state has been in power for a short time and has not been able to fully control it.
But in comparison, Yan Xing was far behind, which made Yan Xing feel urgency to seize the day. He slowed down his horse and tied the reins.
"Although the mount is majestic, it can't escape you."
Yan Xing stopped his mount with a smile, Gan Ling laughed and joked:
"Brother doesn't want Ling to make a fool of himself, so he deliberately gave up first."
Yan Xing smiled without saying a word after hearing Gan Ling's words. After waiting for a while, he sighed slowly and said:
"Looking at this river, it surging, turning eastward, flowing into the sea, passing through the states and counties, and it is so prosperous. Today, I can relive the events of the Jincheng chasing in the past, but I don't know how many heroes and heroes in the Central Plains are galloping on the battlefield and breaking the enemy and making achievements!"
"Brother!"
Gan Ling felt the heaviness in Yan's words, and he also put away his smile.
Yan Xing turned around and looked at the cavalry behind him, then let his horse run freely and let his mount slowly walk by the river. He said to Gan Ling:
"This time I cross the river to take Hedong, and the natural danger has been taken into my hands. Wang Yi and Wei Gu, even if they have the talent of heaven and genius, there is no danger to guard. If you sit in the lonely city, you will be captured by me sooner or later. But do you know, what am I still worried about?"
When Gan Ling heard this, he pondered for a moment and blurted out.
"Li, Guo."
Yan Xing looked at Gan Ling, nodded, and began to say:
"I will keep you guarding Linjin, Heyang and Longmen. It is for him to consider it. The land of Hexi is like the barriers of Hedong. In the pre-Qin period, Qin and Jin fought frequently for this place. When it was Wei State, Wu Qi fled to Chu, and his hegemony turned empty. Looking north, tears were shedding here, and it was also here."
"Now, there are strong neighbors in Guanzhong. Li, Guo and others are all villains who have repeatedly greedy for profit. Although they have formed an alliance with us, Chang'an has now been in the hands of those who have gained greed and hoped for Shu, so we must guard against it."
"It is easy for me to lead an army to seize Hedong, but it will take a lot of time to settle Hedong. If there is Li and Guo is restrained by it at this time, it will be difficult to establish a foundation. Years of business have turned into water. If you guard Hexi, you should know that it is important!"
Gan Ling faced Yan Xingmingrui's eyes, and subconsciously made a promise.
"Don't worry, brother, Ling will defend the land of Hexi as brother. Even if Li and Guo lead troops to come, as long as the city is not hidden, this body will not fall, and he will not let a horse cross the river!"
When Yan Xing heard Gan Ling's words, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"It is certainly good to be fierce, but Li Jue and Guo Si have many troops, and with our current strength, they are not his opponents. If you resist alone, you will undoubtedly be a mantis armed chariot. How can I let you defend Hexi to the death!"
"I made an appointment with Li, Guo and others. Before I got the land of Hedong, I would first borrow Zuo Fengyi's city and station troops. Now the generals of Xiliang are lingering in Chang'an City. Therefore, Li, Guo and others will not plot against Hexi for a short time, but these two people are not unscheming people. There are also Li Ru, Jia Xu and others as their auxiliary. If you spend time, you will definitely plan for Hexi."
"Hexi is located in Zuofengyi, and there is Fengyi Qiang in the territory. It was originally a rebellious Western Qiang tribe. Later, it was defeated by the court and moved to Zuofengyi. It has been reproduced for many years. Now it is dense. It is a major force in Zuofengyi. It gives generous gifts to make good friends and make them not enemies."
"Although Shangjun in the north was abandoned by the imperial court due to the chaos of Qiang and Hu, the Shen family had no seeds of Qiang and Hu, and had no other ranks. They all established wealthy chiefs, and they were all greedy and fighting people. They could lure them for profit and collect their elite cavalry to help them."
"As for the south, Duan Wei stationed troops in Huayin, the man originally lived above Li, Guo and others. Now he is condescending to follow him, he will have complaints, and he can also send envoys to make friends and secretly form allies in case of emergency."
"For these three, when I stationed in Heyang, I had many plans. You should follow the way. In this way, you guard the Hexi land and reject Guo Si's troops alone. There is strong support outside and no chaos inside, so that you can ensure that you are safe."
After hearing Yan Xing's plan, Gan Ling nodded repeatedly in his eyes.
"My brother is far-sighted and cannot do anything. He must follow the general orders, fight against friends and follow this good way!"
Seeing that Gan Ling listened to his words, Yan Xing nodded happily. Hexi is a key place, and before Hedong is consolidated, there is no way to lose. Among the generals in his hands, he is loyal to him and capable, but Xu Huang, Cao Yuan, and Gan Ling are only a few.
Xu Huang and Cao Yuan took Hedong this time, either stationed in the important places in the north or were the commander of the whole route, and could not be transferred. However, Gan Ling followed him for many years and had been practicing for a long time. He was relatively familiar with the situation of the Western Liang army. Using him to defend Hexi was the best candidate.
The only thing I worry about is the destruction of the enemy and plan, the temple plan and plan.
Thinking of these things, Yan Xing used his advice:
Chapter completed!
