Conquer the World

Chapter 963: Forcing People

Xiahou Baichuan is no longer the first new recruit to lead the battlefield, but his feeling of leading the army is exactly the same as Du Dingbei who first led the battle on the bank of Luoshui outside Xinyang City, that is An unspeakable excitement and excitement.Because he is very clear about the significance of this expedition, if everything goes smoothly to win Chang'an City, then the Central Plains surnamed Yang, who has been surnamed for more than 200 years, is afraid to change his surname.

Even if these old people who have always followed Fang Jie are different from those who newly joined the Black Flag Army, their feelings for the other party are better than their longing for the future, but this does not mean that they have no desire or desire.

Gyeonggi Province is still far away, but in the impression of the people of the Central Plains, it is actually a great place for Gyeonggi to cross the Yangtze River.In order to ensure the stability of Chang'an City, huge granaries were built in Jiangbei Roads.

The granary in Liyin City was not previously called this name. After Gao Kaitai arrived in Jiangbei, he occupied two of the four granaries in the north. The southernmost one was renamed Liyincang.Renamed the Wenshan Warehouse in Gyeonggi Province that was originally intended for Changan to Liyang Warehouse.

Gao Kaitai is a superstitious person. He feels that renaming these two large warehouses will help his career.One is called Liyin, the other is called Liyang.

However, if the world depends on this, then the emperor must be the Feng Shui master.

Perhaps among all the teams today, only the generals of Fang Jie are used to using the sand table.After all, the map is not intuitive enough, and the sand table clearly shows the situation and terrain of both the enemy and us.

After Xiahou Baichuan's vanguard crossed the Yangtze River, it took only four days to win two county seats, and almost no resistance was encountered.The rebellion written by Yang Qinyan, the Princess of the Great Sui Dynasty, has been published in the world. Everyone in Jiangbei Road knows that the Black Flag Army protects Her Highness Princess Chang to return to Chang'an. There is a tendency to choose between Gao Kaitai and Princess Sui Chang, most people will be more compliant with the latter.

"In front is Liyin City."

Xiahou Baichuan walked around the sand table and then pointed at the warehouse and said: "The protagonist asked me to be a vanguard general. This is trust in us. You should all know what it means to be a vanguard this time! No I need to say something more. Think about the status of the first team to enter Chang'an City in the future! "

This sentence ignited the enthusiasm of his people.In the world, the first team to enter the Imperial Capital received the most awards. This is an obvious thing. Now that Xiahou has won the vanguard general, these people also have hope.Business people always say that benefits and risks are directly proportional. Isn't this battle the same?The Vanguard will do the hardest things, but it will be the richest.

"Taking the Liyin Cang would be a complete solution to the worries for the army going north. The grain road was shortened by at least two-thirds, and the rest of the brothers who eat the food in the Liyin Cang will remember our benefit!"

Xia Hou Baichuan smiled and said: "We have been waiting for and looking forward to the protagonist changing his mind and fighting for this world. In the final analysis, it is because we ourselves also hope that we can have a great future. Whether you people are born in the cold or The family background is actually the same. Who does n’t expect to come back to the hometown and glorify the lintel? What was the purpose of your joining the Black Banner Army? I do n’t care, but I know that it is still for the better of the future. We are now What I am doing is to make the future better. "

"General!"

Xiahou Baichuan's generals Qi Kaili clenched his fists and said: "Subordinates are willing to fight for the first time!"

"Don't hurry ..."

Xiahou Baichuan waved his hand and said: "I have asked you all to see the terrain of Liyin these two days. I have to say that Yan Zeng is very capable. Today, Liyin City is built by him like an iron barrel The ambition can't be beaten. You all want to beat me, but you must have a detailed plan. There can be no mistakes in playing Liyin, because hundreds of thousands of brothers are watching us. Once our progress is not good, it is morale It ’s never a good thing. "

"So ... not only do we want to win this battle, we must also win it beautifully."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the curtain of the big tent was lifted from the outside: "Of course, it is necessary to win the battle beautifully. What is beautiful?"

The people in the big tent looked out along the lines and saw that Fang Jie came in with a smile.

"Meet the hero!"

Everyone was surprised and quickly got up to salute.

Fang Jie waved his hand and said, "You don't have to salute with A."

He walked over to the sand table and stood and looked at it, then said with a smile: "I came here this time with the celebration wine, if the battle is beautiful enough, I will accompany you to have a drink. You do n’t Wish I brought this wine in vain? "

...

...

Li Yin's city defender Yan Zeng was born into a famous family. Although Yan's status in the Sui Dynasty is comparable to the first-class family like Cui, Yu and Zhao, it is also comparable to the second-class family like Zhou, Sun and Jin.However, Yan Jia ’s status in Eastern Xinjiang is extremely important. Mu Guangling ’s several important generals all came from Yan Jia.For example, on the Penglai Island and Mu Guangling's only son Mu Xianjun fought side by side, the desperate general Yan Li.

Yan Zeng and Yan Li are still brothers of the same sect, and the relationship is not far away.The parents of the two are brothers, both of whom are heirs.It's just that Yan Li's father is the eldest son, and naturally has a higher status in the family.

The famous Yan family came out in large numbers. It was not only the great Sui who had been famous in the past two hundred years of history, but in the previous dynasty, some people had achieved such a high position as Marshal.

Yan Zengsuan is the person farthest away from the Yan family. He did not stay in the Eastern Xinjiang as his father and brother did. He worked under Mu Fu for generations.Relatively speaking, he always thought he was far more ambitious than his brothers.He does not want to wait in the Mu Mansion for dispatch like his fathers and grandparents, he wants to go to a higher place.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang Yi, the great Sui Tianyou, transferred troops from East Xinjiang and Jiangnan, and the fleet that used goods to pass the sky quietly transported to the northwest to prepare for war. The 700,000 troops were the first troops to go to the northwest, and he was in this team among.He thought that it would be the beginning of his splendid future, and he never thought that the Sui army would lose so completely and so easily in the northwest. Seven hundred and eighty of the seven hundred thousand troops died, but he could not go back to the east after a lucky escape. Xinjiang.

He spent a few years wandering in the northwest, and then looked forward to the army of the rebellion of the court.The Emperor Tianyou's imperial conscription gave Yan Zeng a second hope. He felt he could turn over.So he joined the Gao Kai Thai army.In the Gao Kaitai army, his skills began to be revealed and discovered by Gao Kaitai, and he was continuously promoted in the past few years.

However ... What Yan Zeng did not think about in the past is that the place where his talents are displayed is not in the battle of expanding the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, or even in the battle of defending the home and defending the country, but ... in the rebellion.When Gao Kaitai raised his troops to rebel, it was when he felt that his life was the darkest, even darker than the days when he fled on the northwest grassland.

It took him several years to calm down his heart.

Gao Kaitai really takes him seriously, otherwise he will not give him Li Yincheng.The granary is a top priority in the war of any era.Gao Kaitai is equivalent to giving his back to Yan Zeng. It is precisely because of this trust that Yan Zeng gradually let his mind escape from this team gradually.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. A person who originally wanted to shine for the court for the court, became a rebel at the most crucial moment, and even pointed the knife directly at the back of Emperor Sui ... This is also a huge psychological contrast Is not so easy to pass.

"Something wrong ..."

Yan Zeng cleared his thoughts and looked at the place marked with charcoal on the map and shook his head: "The vanguard of the Black Flag Army has reached a place less than forty miles over Liyin City, but it has stopped and has been full. There has been no movement for ten days, which is not right. "

His generals said: "General General, you built the Liyin City so solid, even if the person named Fang Jie came personally, he would feel helpless. Presumably they are planning, see if there is any way to break General General you. This copper wall made by hand. "

"Do not"

Yan Zeng shook his head: "Even if there is a tentative attack, it is not so quiet. The news from the scout said that this time the Black Flag Army had at least 500,000 or 600,000 horses north. How much is the daily consumption of grain and grass? Ten days, it has been ten days. Fang Jie will never waste time like this. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The Black Banner Army must be plotting something else ... "

Those who followed Yan Zeng knew that Yan Zeng was attentive and thoughtful.Over the past few years, they have become accustomed to following Yan Zeng's orders and even too lazy to think about it. Now, Yan Zeng's dignified expression makes them nervous.

"Isn't it okay?"

Another general was uneasy and said: "It will take more than ten days for the Black Flag Army's brigade to cross the Yangtze River. After the Vanguard won the two counties, they did not enter the army, perhaps waiting for the brigade to come over?"

"No need!"

Yan Zengdao said: "The vanguard of the Black Flag Army won the two cities in four days, and the morale is strong. If I were, I would take advantage of the soldiers' morale and go further. Moreover, the style of the general of the Black Flag General called Xiahou Baichuan was quite good. Sharp, it is said to be an acute man. The morale is like a rainbow, the strength is sufficient, there is no need to wait for the rear brigade to get together. Not to mention, here is only two hundred and sixty miles from the Yangtze River, and the black flag cavalry can reach it in only three days . "

He frowned and thought, always feeling that he missed something.

Looking at the map, Yan Zeng suddenly thought of something after a long silence, and his face changed greatly.

"Have there been any special people outside the city recently?"

Yan Zeng turned around and asked.

When the soldiers were in the city, Liyin City had already closed the gate.

"No ... I don't necessarily know if I have, the bridge over the moat has been broken ..."

His generals answered.

"not good!"

Yan Zeng shouted, and just outside, he saw someone outside hurriedly came in: "General, someone outside the city called the door, saying that he came from Ming'an City, and the moat bridge was broken. Has been besieged by the Black Flag Army, and ask the general to send troops to rescue! "

Yan Zeng changed his face and walked out quickly.

...

...

"General General ..."

The soldier who reported the news swallowed hard, and his face was a little scary. It must have been that the fast horse had whip up along the way and had never had a rest. In addition, the upstream of the moat consumed a lot of physical strength, so it looked particularly weak.

"It's not just that our Ming'an City was besieged. It is said that Pingcheng, Xiangcheng, Fangcheng and other places have been defeated by the Black Flag Army, and now only us, Ming'an, can support it hard. It ’s an isolated city! "

Hearing the report of the soldiers, Yan Zeng's heart was like blocking a huge rock.

"Late ... Even if I send troops to rescue Ming An at this time, it is too late."

He was holding the wall in his hand and sighed heavily: "Now I am afraid that Ming'an has been lost. The Black Banner Army is just about to turn Liyin into a lone city ... How come I never thought of it?

After stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of another thing: "The things that have been lost in the surrounding cities must not be spread out, and the people defending the city cannot know!"

"I……"

The soldier who reported the news opened his mouth and his face was horrified: "I have been shouting outside the city for a long time ... only ... the city gate that was opened to me ..."

Yan Zeng was stunned, and his face was instantly ashamed.
