Longyou, Lingzhou.±

Since defeating Datou, Yang Su has been stationed in Lingzhou City, and at the same time, he sent his general Zhou Luohu to divide his troops to station Fengzhou. In that battle, Yang Su did not use ordinary tactics to give up the traditional formation of Han army using ordinary chariots against cavalry, and the cavalry and infantry cross-cooperation with each other, and directly faced Datou's army to set up a cavalry formation, which made Datou happy to attack. As a result, the Turks were eager to win, and underestimated the enemy, and the formation was not in order. The experienced Yang Su caught the fleeting fighter jet and sent the most elite heavy cavalry to charge suddenly, and then led the army to cover it up, thus defeating Datou's more than 100,000 troops. In that battle, the sky was dark, and the two armies fought fiercely. Both sides fought desperately. In the end, Yang Su laughed to the end, but the 150,000 troops under his command also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them.

Datou suffered even more losses, with only more than 50,000 troops left to escape from the battlefield. Just as Yang Su was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the capital was in trouble. Shi Wansui cunningly left the camp and led his troops to Liangzhou. As a result, Yang Sui had only more than 30,000 troops left in his hands, and had to retreat to Ling and Fengzhou for rest. Shi Wansui occupied Gan, Liang, and Huizhou, and had nearly 50,000 troops. Because of this, the Western Route Army was divided into two, guarding each other and not able to take further action.

Yang Xiu sent people to pass on several edicts, and the officials he had given him were greater and greater. First, he was appointed as the Taifu, then the Left Pushe of Jin, and later he even directly granted the Shangshu Ling. Today, the newly arrived edict was appointed as the Taishi. His sons who followed the army even all had the County Duke. Even his grandson was appointed as the County Duke. Later, Yang Guang finally sent someone to send an imperial edict and granted him the Duke of Chu, the Taishi, and the Shangshu Ling. He even pursued his father as the County Duke.

"Father, what are you waiting for?" The eldest son Yang Xuangan asked his father in confusion. There were enfeoffment letters on the table in his father's study, which were higher than the rewards, but his father did not make any noise at all.

"There is still a less imperial edict." Yang Su sat on the Hu chair, stroking her beard and holding a book in her hand, but she didn't turn it around once for a long time, and she was obviously absent-minded.

Yang Xuangan didn't understand, and there was no imperial edict. Could it be that his father was still waiting to be the king?

"Xuangan, you are still too young." Yang Su said. "If you always look like this, how can the Yang family give it to you in the future?"

"Father, in the last battle, I led three thousand cavalry under my command to defeat the multiple enemy, and fought the Turks in panic and fled in panic." Yang Xuangan replied, "I'm afraid my father doesn't know yet. Now the army calls the child Chu King." Yang Xuangan was very proud of himself for getting this title. He also proved himself with a horse spear in this Northern Expedition.

"According to the news, Yang Xiu used a trick to capture and kill Yang Zhao, and recapture the Yizhou army and Yizhou. Gao Feng He Ruobi, Han Seng Shouyu and Wen Bi, and others welcomed Yang Lin into Taiyuan and put Yang Yong under house arrest. Also, Yang Guang borrowed troops from Goguryeo. The King of Goguryeo led 80,000 Liao troops into western Liaoning. Yang Lin sent He Ruobi to lead 120,000 infantry cavalry south to attack Guanzhong." Yang Su looked at his son pouring him a good wine, and said, "The latest news is that Shi Wansui has already been loyal to Yang Xiu. He is leading troops to come at this moment, and the troops have passed Huining Pass. It is only three days away from us."

"How is this possible? Isn't Shi Wansui Yang Yong's person?" Yang Xuangan didn't understand why Shi Wansui suddenly voted for Yang Xiu?

"Xuangan. You use your brain more often. Don't you know what kind of person Shi Wansui is, who is extremely greedy and has no loyalty or righteousness. When he offended Yang Xiu during the war in the southwest, he was imprisoned. King Jin tried his best to rescue him. As a result, he accepted Yang Yong's bribery without hesitation and betrayed King Jin. Now, he has voted for Yang Xiu again, and I must not find it strange. It is said that Yang Xiu gave him the condition to be named Duke of Wu, Taibao, and Shangshu's Right Pushe.

This greedy guy now wants to be the third duke and become the prime minister, but he doesn't look at him. Just like his bird, what qualifications are there to be a general and a prime minister?" Shi Wansui led troops under Yang Su many times, and Yang Su thought he had a very thorough understanding of Shi Wansui. This guy has always been rebellious and difficult to control. When he was under his command, he refused to obey orders and acted boldly, but this guy always felt that he had suppressed him and robbed his military merits. He didn't look at him. He needed to suppress him and robbed his military merits?

"Shi Wansui has no brains when he goes to the general and becomes prime minister. He is okay in battle, but at most he is a cavalry general. At most, he is a general, and he is not even a general. He is far inferior to his father." Yang Xuangan quickly flattered his father.

"This man has no other skills, but his courage has always been surprising. I can't understand where he got the courage to lead his troops to challenge me."

"Will it be Yang Xiu's instructor? His father has never replied to him, so he will take the initiative first."

Yang Su picked up the wine glass and took a sip, picked up the book and looked at it and put it down. At this time, he was really not in the mood to read the book. Shi Wansui led his troops to come, obviously for him, which surprised him. Is this what Shi Wansui meant or Yang Xiu? On the one hand, he felt that this might just be Shi Wansui's own intention. Although this guy was under his command several times, he had been disagreeing with him. He always felt that he had suppressed him and even wanted to replace him. Now, maybe he got the promise of Yang Xiu's prime minister, and immediately wanted to take the initiative to rob him, and take advantage of his few soldiers and soldiers, attacked him and replaced him. But on the other hand, he felt that without Yang Xiu's instructions or Yang Xiu's tacit approval, no matter how brave Shi Wansui was, he would not dare to challenge him.

No matter what, Yang Xiu is unreliable.

"Father, I don't understand. Haven't you always supported King Jin? Now that he has become emperor and has half of the country, why do you refuse to answer the order? King Jin Xu's conditions are not bad."

Yang Su shook his head. When he supported Yang Guang, he did not support him from the beginning. Instead, he watched carefully for a long time. Seeing that the prince was indeed hated by the emperor, the King of Jin was deeply loved and had a great chance of winning, he finally bet on King of Jin. But now it is different. The situation is changing and it is very powerful. The three emperors of Yang Xiu, Yang Yong, and Yang Guang. Or Yang Xiu, Yang Lin and Yang Guang now have no emperor's interference. They can only rely on their strength. Among these three parties, Yang Xiu is undoubtedly the weakest, and he is the target of public criticism. It is difficult to turn over.

Yang Guang did not have any advantage in the battle between Yang Guang and Yang Lin, the father-son, especially when Yang Zhao was killed by Yang Xiu just now, which was a huge blow to Yang Guang. The prince was suddenly killed and lost 50,000 troops in Yizhou. Even the large territory of Yizhou returned to Yang Xiu's hands in a blink of an eye. Yang Guang died and lost one-third of the territory. There was even an important thing. Yang Guang originally had only two sons, but now the eldest son was in Yang Xiu's hands, and the second son was still in Yang Xiu's hands. Yang Guang now has no son. The remaining illegitimate son Yang Lin has become the biggest opponent.

Yang Su thought about it and felt that Yang Guang’s future was worrying, which was also the reason why he had never replied to Yang Guang.

Yang Su has always been a concept that he will never stand on the side of the doomed loser.

"I actually want to join Yang Lin?" Yang Xuangan was surprised.

"Is there anything to be surprised?" Yang Su taught his son a lesson, "Of course we have to stand on the side of the winner. In this regard, the father has to admire the old thief Gao Yang, who has worked hard to support the prince for twenty years. When he said he would abandon him at the most critical moment, he did not hesitate at all, and he has to admire his decisiveness. He is still not decisive enough for his father. To be honest, he still has some friendship with Yang Lin."

"But we are now in Longyou and are blocked from Xiaoguan. Shi Wansui has sent troops to attack again. If we surrender to Yang Lin at this time, how could Yang Xiu sit down and watch? Maybe he would send troops to attack. In this way, can we have to retreat to Fengzhou or retreat to Hedong?"

"I don't care about joining Yang Lin now, but Yang Lin has never sent anyone to contact me." Yang Lin didn't care about revealing his true thoughts to his son. In fact, Yang Lin had sent someone to contact him. At that time, Yang Xuangan met with the people, but he believed that his father meant that Yang Lin did not give generous conditions like Yang Xiu and Yang Guang. With his father's identity, if he didn't pay enough attention to it, he would lose his identity and not receive the attention he deserved. Especially Gao Yan, who had always regarded as his opponent, is now the Shangshu Ling and Taishi of Yang Linchao, and his father will pay more and more attention.

"Maybe it was because Yang Lin saw that there were only 30,000 people left in his father's hand to guard the two states and was not enough to watch. Perhaps, he should take Shi Wansui to take good care of him and then show his skills as a father." Yang Su played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckling.

The father's may often mean that he has made up his mind. Yang Xuangan picked up the wine glass and was about to send it to his mouth, but he quickly put it down when he heard this. "Go to war with Shi Wansui?" He repeated some suspiciously. If he hadn't been admiring his father in his heart, he would have thought his father was joking. Shi Wansui had more than 40,000 troops, while they only had 30,000. During this period, he heard that Shi Wansui was still recruiting soldiers in Hexi, and maybe Shi Wansui came this time because of Yang Xiu's instructions, so Yang Xiu's troops could break out of Xiaoguan at any time. They were guarding this Hetao and there were no reinforcements, so how could they fight?

Besides, although his father is powerful, Shi Wansui is also brave. Although he is crazy, he does have crazy skills. Last time he fought against the Turks, he saw with his own eyes the scene of Shi Wansui leading his troops to charge. He was so fierce. Shi Wansui was not only fierce, but also had many powerful generals under his command. Among them, one of them was Zhang Xutuo, who had a deep impression. A middle-aged man who seemed inconspicuous, but he led his troops without any leakage. He also created an eight-wind formation, which was really amazing. Last time, he led a battalion to defeat twice the Turks, but Zhang Xutuo used his own Eight-Wind Camp to kill tens of thousands of Turkic troops.

"War is not entirely based on quantity, otherwise how could we defeat the 200,000 Turkic army with 150,000 last time? And how could Yang Lin defeat the 100,000 Turkic army with only tens of thousands of troops in Daibei? The war depends on the head!" Yang Su pointed at his head.

My father always had a way to defeat the more with the few, and the weak defeat the strong. Many people always said that my father's military use was cruel and his military law was strict. But they did not see that although my father used extremely strict military use, he was the most supported general among the generals of the court. He always had a way to support his soldiers, and even spared no effort to accompany his life. Others such as Shi Longsui and He Ruobi and other so-called famous generals have never been able to do this. He once asked his father about the trick, and his father's answer was only one sentence, "Only rewards and punishments are clear!"

The words are very simple, but how many can be done?

"But we only have 30,000 people and there are still many wounded soldiers."

"Terties of 30,000 people are enough to deal with Shi Wansui, a reckless man." Yang Su said confidently.

In early May, Yi Feng led his army south, and Yang Yong led his army to the south. Yang Yong kept shouting that he refused to leave Taiyuan. He figured it out that he could not regain power. Since he was destined to be Yang Lin's puppet, and maybe Yang Lin would not need him one day. So why just enjoy it while now. He was still happy in the Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan these days. At least women have never been lacking and have a lot of good wine. Since that is the case, why bother to go all the way.

I had a long journey to Luoyang. Anyway, I was still a puppet when I went to Luoyang, so I might as well stay in Taiyuan. Maybe Yang Lin was more comfortable if I was not with him. Unfortunately, Yang Lin ignored him at all and directly sent the crown prince Zuo Wei to lead him. General Zuo Yulin Qin Qiong and a group of Northern Imperial Guards to force him to set off. Finally, he, the emperor, still had some face, so Qin Qiong finally agreed to bring the beauties he favored in Jinyang Palace with him.

When Yi Feng and the Taiyuan court advanced south, the imperial guards of the Northern Ya who had advanced south had already taken over the prefectures such as Hedong Shifen Lu Jin Fen Ze Jiang Ci Pu, and the vanguard went straight into Luoyang.

Jiangzhou in Hedong, the northern end of the Zhuguanxing, the first pass of the eight passes in Taihang, is here, connecting to Jiyuan in Luoyang in the south, the northern end of this important passage leading to Luoyang in Hedong, and it is also the gateway to the southeast of the river. Baibi Town, twenty miles southwest of Jiangzhou, is an important gateway to guard this gateway. When Yi Feng and his party headed south, they arrived in Jiangzhou, He Ruobi, who had gone south early, still rushed to Puzhou east of the Yellow River, without any progress.

"He Ruobi wanted to seize Pujin Pass and enter Guanzhong, and launched several fierce attacks in front and behind. However, Pujin Bridge is extremely easy to defend but difficult to attack, and He Ruobi is difficult to make progress." The Privy Councilor Wang Bao reported to Yi Feng the latest progress of the anti-rebellion army.

Yi Feng was not surprised that it was needless to say that the dangers of Guanzhong were indebted. Although He Ruobi was a famous general, Guanzhong’s defenders were not all vegetarians. As long as the generals of Guanzhong did not surrender, it would be impossible to attack Guanzhong in a short time. Yi Feng had never expected him to attack Guanzhong immediately, so he was not disappointed when he heard this result.

"There is no need to just stare at Pujin Pass. You can send one or two partial troops around the upstream, such as Mengmen Pass in Shizhou, Yonghe Pass in Xizhou, Madou Pass in Jiangzhou, and Longmen Pass in Jiangzhou. They are all ferries that cross the river westward. There is no need to stare at Pujin Pass. First find a way to cross the river, then occupy a bridgehead forward base, and then take your time, and don't rush for a while." Yi Feng asked the Privy Council to issue a document to He Ruobi.
