Chapter 3 Chapter Three
After Su Erman died and his troops were forced to surrender under attack from all sides, "Hena Muya" handed over the responsibility of cleaning to Xiao Manying.Xiao Manying is a villain who adapts to the wind, but it cannot be denied that sometimes, to achieve a certain goal, it is more powerful to use a villain than a gentleman.
On the one hand, Xiao Manying wanted to retaliate against Su Erman's exclusion and suppression of him these days, and on the other hand, she also wanted to please Yang Hao and Aguli, so she spared no effort in carrying out the orders of "Hena Muya".
At the same time, Aguli, Ganzhou has also started to attack. The Huihe tribes are bound to be weakened in this brutal internal struggle. There is an irreconcilable rift between the three tribes. The leaders are all relatively young leaders now. Even if Yang Hao hangs down his clothes and bows his head, he will rule by doing nothing and take no further measures against Ganzhou Huihe. If they want to form a joint force again, it will be thirty or fifty years later up.
Not to mention the Xingzhou side, Li Jitan and Li Tianlun's group who intended to rebel, and Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Qingyun's group who fantasized about using military advice to coerce the master to steal power all died in battle. They all died in battle, and there were very few tribes who dared to resist, and most of the tribes were forced to hand over power to Yang Hao.
Last year, Yang Hao first started a war with Song State, which consumed a lot of food and supplies; then he became a vassal and established the country, readjusted and divided the territories of various tribes, and most of the tribes experienced a migration and mobilization; at the same time, Yang Hao raised a large amount of food relief Ganzhou, after that, Xingzhou was built as the capital of the country, and the construction was carried out, and the savings were even more expensive.
Due to major political, military, and economic actions, the treasury of the imperial court was emptied, and the savings of various tribes were also depleted. At this time, the participating tribes began to have a non-cooperative attitude towards the imperial court, expelling the officials appointed by the imperial court, suspending the payment of taxes and business exchanges, so the food was stored in several strongholds around Xingzhou that were completely controlled by Yang Hao. In the city of Dafu, those tribes did not get a grain of food.
In this way, Yang Hao banned these tribal hereditary systems involving felony treason, reorganized them, reorganized them, and selected officials. In addition to military means, he also had a strong economic means to restrain them.If there is no food supply from the imperial court, the life of these tribes will not be easy this winter, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death. Therefore, even if they are not very afraid of Yang Hao’s soldiers and horses, their urgent thirst for food makes them have to do everything. Accepted Yang Hao's conditions.
This is only a positive aspect. Most of the important positions in Ganzhou are in the hands of Suerman's cronies. Although Aguli suddenly launched a purge, which caught them by surprise and wiped out their main force, the rest are still there. Fighting stubbornly, Aguli's army is outside, even though Mukui is helping from the flanks, if there is a little carelessness in command, it is still in danger of overthrowing.
On the other hand, Xingzhou could not achieve a single battle to rule the world. The leaders of more than a hundred tribes participated in the rebellion and remonstrance, and their energy was extraordinary. Dealing with it is more complicated than the dangerous and dangerous battle that night, and it cannot be resolved by force alone.Therefore, Yang Hao has already ordered that once Su Erman, the leader of the civil war, is resolved, Zhang Pu will rush to Ganzhou immediately, while Yang Jiye will quickly return to Beijing and sit in Xingzhou.
Yang Jiye has a high reputation among the generals of the Zheyang faction, and Zhang Pu has a high status among the generals of the Dangxiang faction. With these two people in charge of these two sources of internal strife, the internal security can be guaranteed.Yang Hao's arrangement has nothing to do with whether he has to do everything himself, because his strategy of manipulating the enemy is too dangerous.Now that the initial purpose has been achieved, it must be treated with caution.
Yang Hao has a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, and he is making full use of this cold winter to speed up the transformation of various tribes, and strive to get everything back on track before the spring of next year, so as not to affect the development of agriculture and animal husbandry next year. And Li Jiyun, the internal factors have been eliminated, they can't play any tricks, what is left now is just how much blow they can cause.
Xiakou City also had a heavy snowfall, and overnight, it was covered with snow, covering up the numerous scars on the Xiakou city wall and the tyrannical bloody atmosphere below the city for many days.
Early in the morning, Cheng Shixiong was only wearing single clothes, practicing sword on the snow in the courtyard.
The maharaja ruled Liuhe, and the fierce general cleared Jiugai.War horses are like dragons and tigers, how strong is Tengling.The general faces the northern wilderness, and Heng He shines his talents.The sword dance leaps and swims in thunder, lingering and returning with the wind.Ascend to look at Tianshan Mountain, Baiyun is Cuiwei.Entering the battle to break the arrogant captives, the prestige is powerful and thunderous.One shot will bring down a hundred horses, and another shot will drive ten thousand people away.The Huns did not dare to fight, so they called each other back.If you repay the emperor with success, you can paint Lintai.
Cheng Shixiong's "General Pei's Full Hall" was used in one hand, the sword light was lingering, flying up and down, and the snowflakes danced back and forth with the wind of the sword, which is beyond words.
"Okay, good swordsmanship! I've heard for a long time that General Cheng's sword skills are amazing, but seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."
Cheng Shixiong drew his sword and stood still. Looking back, it was Yang Jiye and Zhang Pu who came together. Behind them, there were three more people. Wearing a snow-white fox collar, Zhaojun's warm suit covering the forehead, and buckskin boots on his feet, he is slim and refreshed, and his pair of zhanzhan autumn eyes are slightly smiling, just like a fairy.
Anyone who looked at it would only know that such a beauty is not a minister's daughter, but also a lady from a famous family. They would never think that this person is actually a female killer who takes people's lives while talking and laughing.
Behind her were two people, both of whom were wearing leather robes and hats. They were tall, but looked cautious. One of them was Xiao Manying, and the other was newly elected by the Suerman tribe. The headman Absto.
Cheng Shixiong put his sword back into its sheath, and greeted him with a smile: "Hehe, my lords are here, I am sorry for Cheng, forgive me, forgive me."
After the first snowfall, the weather was cold, Cheng Shixiong was only wearing unlined clothes, and it was nothing to do with dancing swords in the wind just now, when he stopped, he saw steam all over his body, it was amazing to see.Yang Jiye said: "Hey, I came here uninvited. What is the crime of General Cheng? It's windy here. Let's go to the hall first. The Suleman Rebellion has been put down. The two wolves brought in by him, we You have to check how to deal with it."
Cheng Shixiong responded with a smile, and a group of people entered the hall. Cheng Shixiong grabbed a robe and put it on, and then asked someone to bring tea. When everyone sat down, Yang Jiye said straight to the point: "General Cheng, yesterday put down the rebellion in Suerman, Abu Stotou was elected as the new head of the ministry..."
Abustuo hurriedly bowed his body and gestured to everyone with a smile.
Yang Jiye went on to say: "With the assistance of the head of Xiao Manying, the head of Abustuo cleared up the confidant rebel party who was determined to follow Su Erman's rebellion, and got some news from them. Lord Abustuo, you Come on."
Abu Si Tuo hurriedly said: "Yes, that's how it is. Under the order of Lord Henamuya, I cleared up the rest of our Su'erman party and captured some of his confidantes. After some interrogation, some of them confessed to Su'er. The inside story of Man's collusion with Li Jiyun and Huyan Aobo, in my tribe, there are only a few Li Jiyun's people hidden. After Su Erman gave the head, he checked these people and found that two of them were missing, and there were no dead bodies. They should have taken advantage of the chaos and fled..."
Yang Jiye said: "Originally, if we could lure the enemy to go deep, cut off his retreat, and then close the door and beat the dog, that would be the most ideal. But people are not as good as God, we tried our best, and we managed to escape two little fishes. It is a small fish, but it is enough to ruin our major event. Once Li Jiyun and Huyan Aobo get the news, they will never continue to go north. We can't let them go back to Xiaoguan unscathed like this. weaken their power."
Zhang Pudao: "Of course, these two people whose whereabouts are unknown may not have escaped. There were countless casualties yesterday, and the investigation may not be so clear for a while, but this kind of thing should not be lost in the illusion of just in case, and let Huyan Aobo go. Flee with Li Jiyun. Right now, we can only plan based on the fact that the news has been leaked, send troops immediately, and hit him head-on before he can respond."
Cheng Shixiong said with a smile: "Since several adults came together, they must have discussed it on the way. I wonder what old Cheng needs to do?"
Yang Jiye and Zhang Pu looked at each other, and it was Zhang Pu who spoke.
The aftermath of Xingzhou and Ganzhou is still unabated, and Yang Hao's focus is now on the country, but since Li Jiyun and Huyan Aobo have come, let them go back before a battle is fought, making Hexi a no-man's land , Come in and out at will, wouldn't it make the world laugh?The posture that should be done must be done, and the fight must be done, but both Yang and Zhang have left, who will fight?
Cheng Shixiong's troops were under the greatest pressure to put down the chaos in Suerman, but the credit was not obvious.As soon as Zhang and Yang left, Cheng Shixiong was respected here in terms of seniority and status, so it stands to reason that Cheng Shixiong should be in command to fight against the incoming enemy.Li Jiyun and Huyan Ao Bonei should have been lost, and they can't afford much trouble, so they will definitely lose. This is an easy credit.
But don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun do not retreat but advance instead, go around Cheng Shixiong, take advantage of the empty opportunity behind them, and go straight to the capital of Xixia, even if Xingzhou is all right, and the rescue is timely, it will cause serious damage. The damage, especially the damage to the dignity of Xixia, which has just been established, is not worth the candle.Li Jiyun has done this kind of risky thing once, God knows if he will do it again, the stability of Xingzhou is more important than anything else.
In this case, a seasoned and prudent general is needed to guard the gate of Xingzhou, and only then can he face the invading enemy head-on after he has no worries.The candidate they both focused on was Cheng Shixiong, and the general who was going to attack Huyan Aobo was commanded by Yang Yanlang who had retreated from Xiaoguan, and the soldiers and horses transferred from Yinzhou and Hengshan to Weizhou cooperated with each other to attack Huyan Aobo.
There is nothing logical about such an arrangement, but Yang Yanlang deserves the credit at his fingertips. Cheng Shixiong contributed the most and contributed the least. Wouldn't he have an idea in his mind?Although Yang Jiye has a clear conscience, he always has some scruples.
Zhang Pu said: "Master Yang and I are about to leave. The Xingzhou Tuoba hundred tribes conspired to rebel. This is the gate of my capital. Su Erman has already given the leadership, and Li Jiyun has lost his internal support. As long as we If you can hold this place, you will be in an invincible position. Therefore, in this battle, you must first seek stability. In this way, you need a veteran to guard this place. , is the one who leads the troops to meet Li Jiyun, so you can rest assured."
He rubbed his hands together, and said with some embarrassment: "So..., this gorge..."
Cheng Shixiong Mung Dou rolled his eyes, and he knew it in his heart. He stroked his beard and said with a sly smile: "You two adults don't need to say any more. , The boat is overturned, and we share the truth. Right now, Xixia is in a precarious state. If I can pass it, the sky will be clear, but if I can’t, the boat will be overturned, and everyone will be finished. Hehe, Lao Cheng is a rude person, but these superficial truths are still understandable, how could he? What about being greedy for meritorious service? Well, I, Old Cheng, will stay here, and the two adults can send troops with confidence, as long as they beat Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun to the bastards, whoever will do it will be the same?"
It took Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun two days to take down the Gouta village. They rested here for half a day, replenished the supplies in the village with food and supplies, and immediately continued along the Hulu River. Two confidantes who escaped from Erman's army. Knowing that Su Erman was killed in front of the battle and died inexplicably, Li Jiyun couldn't help being disappointed. Without this power, his success would be greatly reduced.Su Erman was killed in front of the battle, and his troops were besieged on all sides. The only explanation is that Yang Hao had been aware of his plot for a long time, and he gathered and wiped out all the potential opposition forces until he brought them out to the world. Once and for all. If they had seen the opportunity early, they should have turned their horses around immediately and retreated to Xiaoguan at a faster speed, but Li Jiyun still couldn't let go. God knows how much effort he had spent to create such an opportunity. Yang Hao discovered Su Erman's conspiracy, Su Erman failed, but what about Xingzhou?Where are Li Tianyuan, Li Tianlun, and Li Jitan?To capture the thief and capture the king, if they succeeded in getting rid of Yang Hao, any victory on the outside would be meaningless, and the various forces gathered around Yang Hao would immediately become a mess, and he still had a chance. Li Jiyun confided all his plans to Huyan Aobo. Huyan Aobo is also a bold man with high skills. After careful calculation for a while, his troops have not entered Xixia territory deeply, especially since this section belongs to the border area of Hexi Longyou , there is no big city and big monastery, but only a Gutazhai, which is also under his control now. Stationed at Shaxiong Ridge, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the news. Soon, the news came one by one. The defeated Yang Yanlangti Lingzhou soldiers and horses made a comeback and were rushing south along the Hulu River. Weizhou gathered nearly 20,000 troops drawn from the Yinzhou and Hengshan garrisons. kill.Whether Li Tianyuan and others in Xingzhou succeeded is still unknown. Huyan Aobo felt unwilling, and Li Jiyun kept bewitching him, so he pretended to retreat in the heavy snow.That day it was snowing heavily and the ground was several inches flat. Huyan Aobo Ming built a plank road, crossed Chencang secretly, braved the wind and snow and rushed for eighty miles, and rushed to Qinglanyuan to the west, blocking the Weizhou troops who were ordered to attack. Huyan Aobo and Xixia Weizhou soldiers and horses each set up the Yanyue formation, and they were at a stalemate. Seeing that the Xixia army would not attack, Huyan Aobo knew that they wanted to wait for Yang Yanlang who had returned from Lingzhou, so he immediately marched through the snow and changed from the Yanyue formation to the horizontal formation. In the formation, General Lai Youwei of the Xixia Army saw that Huyan Aobo was advancing, so he had to divide his troops to meet the battle. General Gongsun Qing led the cavalry to swing the formation, killed hundreds of enemies, and broke into the enemy formation. Unexpectedly, Huyan Aobo suddenly covered the shield again, and used the big shield to hold the cavalry tightly and surrounded them. Once the cavalry lost the power to charge and maneuver, they would become lambs to be slaughtered. Gongsun Qing's troops fought bloody battles , The whole army was wiped out, Lai Youwei knew that he had fallen for the trick, and personally led his troops to launch an attack. The arrow shot through the ear, and a piece of flesh was cut off from the arm. This Xixia army was brave in fighting, but Huyan Aobo was originally a plan to help the trapped enemy. The Xixia army suffered heavy casualties, and could not wait for Yang Yanlang's reinforcements, so they had to retreat completely and fled to Weizhou.The army was defeated like a mountain, and this retreat was uncontrollable. The original flanking strategy was defeated by Huyan Aobo's active attack.Huyan Aobo personally led his troops to pursue and build momentum, but made Li Jiyun's troops hide nearby, and only waited for Yang Yanlang's reinforcements to arrive to launch a surprise attack. Unexpectedly, Yang Yanlang led the army to arrive, heard that the horses were returning, and learned that the Weizhou soldiers and horses were retreating, but they did not come to help, but continued to go south without stopping, and went straight to the cuta village. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Yang Yanlang, who is just a young man, may have to go through a lot of battle experience to mature in command and dispatch, but his drive and fighting spirit are at their peak at this time. He lost the Gouta Village from his hands, of course he was not reconciled, and the Weizhou army had already been defeated, so chasing after him at this time was just to clean up the mess. Instead of this, it is better to capture the Ghota Village and cut off the enemy's retreat before making plans .Rescue is to fill in the vacancy, but the attack on Ghotazhai is the beginning of turning the tide of the battle and creating opportunities. Yang Yanlang planned this way, but he unknowingly avoided Huyan Aobo's poisonous plan against his reinforcements. Huyan Aobo's troops staying behind to guard the Goutazhai village are quite considerable, but this fortress was originally Yang Yanlang's garrison, and the internal and external conditions were clear. Taking advantage of the heavy snow, Yang Yanlang first sent a few small schools with outstanding archery skills to climb into the city. Shoot the police post, then open the gate, and the infantry lurking outside quickly seize the gate, and the bloody battle with the enemy is only a cup of tea, and the cavalry who are far away will come at a gallop. Yang Yanlang took the lead, charged forward with a big gun in his hand, as if he had entered an uninhabited land, it only took an hour for the Gouta village to change hands, and the offensive and defensive positions changed again. At dawn, Yang Yanlang stood at the height of the Ghota Village, looking at the snow-capped field, and smiled happily: "I will take the initiative to take the initiative to regain my hands, and I will definitely be able to avenge my shame!" As the sun rose in the east, Zhe Ziyu sat on the snow sledge and moved forward quickly in the direction of the sunlight. The rocks, trees, snow hills... retreated quickly, and the rustling sound scared the tits perched among the treetops. After shaking off the floating snow on the branches, she suddenly saw a plain, and she had entered the territory of Xixia, and entered the Chuolun River. "For that friend, I went through many twists and turns, and even went to Fusang overseas. From now on, it's time to bear the hardships..." Xue Mo'er raised her face, Ziyu narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, so attractive!
It took Huyan Aobo and Li Jiyun two days to take down the Gouta village.
