Chapter 564 Yang Shenxing’s old horse stumbled, and the entire Jinan cavalry was wiped out
The tent of the main general outside Youlu Pass was solemn and strange, and an emergency military situation came from the Lu family’s personal soldiers and post cavalry. The Minister of War Lu Shengxiang sat behind the desk, calmly touching her fingers gently on a military talisman. The generals and lieutenants in the tent were divided into infantry and cavalry. Most of these generals were brought to the capital by Mr. Lu from Guangling Road. They were loyal and capable. There were both steady old men and promising military officers who were in their prime, as well as promising military officers who were promoted in their prime, and there were several young commanders who were promoted to the extreme, with very reasonable age configurations. A confidant general who was driven to be a groom rushed into the big tent like a burning butt. The personal soldiers of the tent protected were not stopped. Lu Shengxiang didn’t even pick up his nose, but just looked down at the old map that had finally been pulled out from the Ministry of Revenue. It’s ridiculous to say that the Ministry of War, which Gu Lu had maintained for many years, could not find a map of the southern part of the capital that satisfies Lu Shengxiang. Hundreds of pictures could be easily found on the two Liao borders.
Guo Dongfeng, who was wearing a horse smell, glared at his gloating peers and asked carelessly: “General, Yang Shenxing didn’t take the wrong medicine, why did he take the initiative to advance to the south in a hurry? He was so confident that he could pass through Yufang Pass and Qinshuijindu in one breath, and then took the leading important town in the north of Guangling Road. He rushed to the scene and set up our two armies where the generals? Tell me, are we watching him take a group of playboys to die, or to play with them to play with fire, 4 Ten thousand soldiers are the last family foundation of Ji Nan Army. Once you pass Qinshuijin Ferry, before you reach Qingxiao Town, it has been the Qingyang Basin, a place of four battles since ancient times. Now we are all slandering the troops and horses on Guangling Road. Where does this old man have the confidence to go deep into the army alone! No matter how bad Western Chu is, you can always squeeze out eight or nine thousand to fight the cavalry. If the guards of the generals in the custody of surrendering, the dignified general of Anguo will be defeated by such a clumsy strategy to lure the enemy. Then you will not be the general who will take the blame! “
Lu Shengxiang did not raise his head and said calmly: “First of all, it can be confirmed that Han Penglai, the defender of Jixiao, was not a fraudulent surrender. Secondly, 40,000 elite soldiers in Jinan, the supply was perfect, and the general Anguo marched and arranged a formation step by step. Even if he faced eight or nine thousand cavalry, as long as there was no heavy cavalry raid, he might not lose. Finally, no one could be sure whether the remnants of Western Chu could invest nearly 10,000 cavalry on the front lines of Wenxiao and Qingyang. Due to geographical restrictions, Western Chu has always fought in the west and cavalry in the east. Of course, it is hard to say no one can tell when they meet a madman.”
Guo Dongfeng said with a hard neck: “But the established strategy of the Ministry of War is to let Zhao Ying, the King of Huainan who stationed in the Taiwan Strait, launch an offensive at the same time. Regardless of their success or failure, it should be the King of Guangling Zhao Yi on stage next, and Yang Shenxing is the turn of Yang Shenxing!”
Lu Shengxiang angrily scolded: “You can just call the name of a vassal king and go back to feed your horse!”
Guo Dongfeng shrank his neck and left the camp obediently. He quickly lifted the curtain and poked his head out of his head. He asked curiously.”General, I dare to ask where the head coach Cao Changqing, Zhou Song, Pei Hongzhi and other old men are now?”
Lu Shengxiang continued to stare at the map, but a young general from Guangling Chunxue Tower chuckled softly: “Cao Changqing stared at Guangling’s army himself. Zhou Song and Pei Hongzhi did not approach the northern line, and each guarded the Huai River and the other guarded the river.”
Guo Dongfeng said oh, turned around and left, and said to himself, “It seems that Western Chu is not the Great Chu after all, and he has no courage to fight with the enemy outside the border.”
When Guo Dongfeng walked away, Lu Shengxiang looked up at a gentle old man in Wenshan who stood out in the flock, and asked, “The horses flowing on the northern line of Guangling Road, and Zhao Gou had caught clues on the side of Zhao Gou.”
The old man said helplessly: “It’s hard. Before the war started, more than 40 spies on the court died, plus more than 20 people who had rebelled before, general, this is not a good sign!”
Lu Shengxiang nodded and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat. The Minister of War, who led the general, glanced at the military newspaper. The superior explained some reasons for sending troops south. The wording was gorgeous, the writing was exquisite, and the literary talent was thrilling. Naturally, it would not be something that Yang Shenxing, a big man, could write. Lu Shengxiang thought it was written by a son of a prince who was familiar with military books. “Although the south of the capital is the ‘central state of the world’ and the ‘stone of hegemony’, it was unacceptable and must be guarded outside the country. The cause of the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty must be ignored.”
Lu Shengxiang whispered: “Talking about war on paper, fuck your mother.”
The autumn of the first year of Xiangfu, the summer heat. The heat is over and the weather turns cooler.
Finally, there was a happier and cooler autumn, which made the nearly 1000 new soldiers who rushed to join the army in the middle of summer feel relieved. The sick look was wiped out, and the dragon and the tiger suddenly became a little fierce. Especially when the army crossed south to Qinshuijin, most of the young people riding tall horses did not care about crossing the river formation, and put on bright armor, rode their horses and competed with riding skills on the north bank of the river. In fact, not long after these people joined the army, many people had the idea of retreating to the capital to enjoy their happiness, because the military camp was so smelly that it was worse than the pigpen and it was not easy to take a bath. In the middle of summer, these rich and poor children personally experienced the power of fleas. This is far from their original intention of fighting against the two armies to kill the enemy. If it weren’t for the elders in their family who were slandering and constantly sending a large number of prohibited items through relationships, the descendants of these Dukes, Marquis, Generals and Prime Ministers had a stinking face and pinched their noses, and continued to stay in the army of veteran Yang Shenxing. Almost everyone carries the entourage of the more than a thousand “relationship households” that grew up at the feet of the emperor, which made three thousand “elegant cavalry” more than a few under General Anguo. When the army headed south, more than a dozen of the top young men’s sons went to ask Yang Shenxing for his mission to be a pioneer. The old general smiled and said a lot of excuses, and sweared that these three thousand cavalry were his trump card and that a good knife should be used on the blade.
Yang Shenxing, who is tall and has no age, stands with one hand and holds a knifeOn the south bank, Yang Huchen, the eldest son who had followed his father for more than 20 years, looked at the young people who were riding a horse and whipped, and said softly: “Dad, I don’t know which young man said that when the army crossed the river, they were careful of the enemy’s attack, so they had to help the racquets to protect the carriage. Don’t you know the scouts’ investigation? In this way, it will be useless except disrupting the formation and delaying the crossing of the river! There is also the second son of the Guanneihou. I asked me if I could fight the two armies during the war. , What’s the matter? I don’t know which silly novel of the Romance of the United Kingdom? Besides, the eldest son of Zhenting Bo raised an objection, saying that we marched fifty miles a day and was too slow, and used the example of turtle climbing, saying that in the Spring and Autumn War, those light cavalry were common for three hundred miles a day and a night. Alas, I really can’t reason with them. Dad, these three thousand cavalry look majestic, but they are actually not enough to succeed! “
The gray-haired Yang Shenxing was extremely powerful and taught a lesson: “I know it in my heart! Huchen, you must not show any dissatisfaction in the future.”
Yang Huchen smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Yang Shenxing calmed down his stereotyped face and said earnestly: “There is Gu Jiantang in charge of military affairs on the east side, and the young man surnamed Xu on the west side, and these two are not easy to deal with. The world is peaceful, and the real military achievements are not easy to rebel with the remnants of Western Chu. A southern line is born. Such an opportunity is the old face accumulated by my father for most of his life. Most of the children on the north bank want to call you uncles and uncles in terms of friendship. But these kids, don’t listen to their calls for warm and attentiveness. In fact, they are the most cold-hearted and difficult to serve. You must not do bad things with kindness, which leads to our military achievements, and they will not appreciate them, and do not miss the goodness of our Yang family.”
Yang Huchen nodded dullly.
Yang Shenxing patted the shoulder of his son who had high hopes for and smiled and said, “Not to mention anything else, if it weren’t for the operation and management of these young people’s parents, we wouldn’t have gotten those five thousand good horses. The old man from Ji Nan has always been known for his only cemetery battles. This time my grandson is so addicted to being a cavalry general. Moreover, this grandson is much more sleeker than you, and has already begun to call brothers and brothers with many of the children in the capital who were not familiar with him. This is a great thing.”
