Chapter 15: Punching into the wedge

Yang Yuanqing's face sank and said coldly: "My surname is Yang, but his national name is Ding Yang. Is this slap me in the face?"

Wang Jinfu hurriedly explained, "Ding Yang was enfeoffed by the Turkic Khan. The Yang he targeted refers to the Sui Dynasty, and it is definitely not General Yang. My emperor definitely has no intention of disrespect for General Yang.-< Shuhai Pavilion >-net."

Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly, "What did Liu Wuzhou send you to do?"

"My emperor was frightened when he heard the arrival of the Fengzhou army and prepared a special gift to the general manager."

Wang Jinfu pointed to the three hundred beautiful girls and said, "These three hundred beauties are all palace maids in Fenyang, all of which are perfect. They are given to the general manager for bedding. There are also hundreds of boxes of jewelry, gold and jade, which are also treasures for the general manager, and they are specially dedicated to the general manager for military supplies."

Yang Yuanqing walked to the 300 palace maids and looked at them. The 300 palace maids all gave their salutes. He walked to the box again, and the followers opened the box, all of which were gold, silver and jewelry, shining with golden light, dazzling.

Yang Yuanqing turned around and asked Wang Jinfu with a smile, "Does Liu Wuzhou want to surrender to me?"

Wang Jinfu was stunned and shook his head hurriedly, "Emperor Dingyang means that the two families form an alliance and become a country of brothers."

‘Alliance?’

Yang Yuanqing sneered and pointed the palace maids and treasure chests with a horse whip. "These are all palace maids and palace objects in Fenyang Palace. They are owned by my Great Sui Dynasty. They were stolen by Liu Wu and Zhou thieves. I am now taking them back on behalf of His Majesty the Great Sui Dynasty. These have nothing to do with Liu Wuzhou. As for alliances, it is okay. As long as Liu Wuzhou sends 300,000 cattle and sheep as a gift, I will form an alliance with him, not attack him, and go to Taiyuan through the passage. This is my condition."

Wang Jinfu came here this time with two tasks. One was to delay the Fengzhou army's attack on Mayi, and the other was to check the Fengzhou army's weakness and reality. Unexpectedly, he could not even enter the main camp now, so he could not see the Fengzhou army's weakness and reality at all. Now he could only try his best to delay the Fengzhou army's attack on Mayi, arrogance of their morale and buy time for his own army.

Wang Jinfu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It will take time to collect 300,000 cattle and sheep. Can we extend our time for a month? We will definitely deliver it in a month.--Net."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "One month is too long, at most half a month. If it is not sent in half a month, our Fengzhou army will attack Mayi County and stave Shanyang County."

"Yes! Yes! I understand, I will definitely do it."

Wang Jinfu gave a deep gift and hurriedly got on his horse and took a group of entourages back. Seeing that they were walking away, Yang Yuanqing pointed at the three hundred palace maids and said to his personal lieutenant: "Send them all to Yulin County and let the county magistrate settle them well."

The captain agreed and ordered the personal soldiers to catch the carriage. The palace maids got on the carriage one after another. Cheng Yaojin next to him was a little worried and walked up to persuade Yang Yuanqing, "The chief manager must not be confused by the women and was trapped by Liu Wuzhou."

Yang Yuanqing looked at him strangely, and Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed, and he seemed a little relieved. Yang Yuanqing smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and headed towards the camp.

Qin Qiong followed behind and whispered: "Actually Yao Jin is right. Using female sex to confuse the general manager is indeed Liu Wuzhou's plan."

Seeing that Qin Qiong looked solemn, not like Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed, Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "You have been with me a little shorter. When did I, Yang Yuanqing, have been confused by women? These women were mostly from innocent families. Many young generals in our army were single and unmarried. I plan to give them to the generals who have made meritorious eyes as their wives. I will take part of the jewelry and gold jade as their dowry, and the rest of the jewelry will be rewarded to the soldiers of the three armies."

Qin Qiong sighed, "The general manager clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and caring about the soldiers is a blessing for the Fengzhou army!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I didn't expect that Shubao would also say flattering words."

Qin Qiong blushed. Just as she was about to explain, Yang Yuanqing patted his arm and smiled: "No need to explain. Come to the Central Army tent. I have a task to hand it over to you."

Cheng Yaojin gently scraped his nose, and Mu looked at the three hundred young and beautiful palace maids, all of their eyes hooked away.

.........

"Maintain!"

Cheng Yaojin chased after him from behind, Yang Yuanqing stopped and looked at him, smiling and said, "What reason did you think of?"

"This Eastern Expedition, my mother stayed alone in Lingwu County, and no one took care of her. I really don't feel at ease. I want to find a girl to take care of her, gentle and virtuous, have a good appearance, and have a whiter skin. Can you see if you can..."

"It's OK, but if you want to make merit, you can't receive merit without merit. Do you understand?" Yang Yuanqing looked at him, with a faint smile in his eyes, but there was a majesty in this smile that could not be refuted.

Cheng Yaojin nodded slowly. He finally began to realize the difference between the Fengzhou army and the Wagang army. Everything here depends on military merits and all human relationships are all damn.

Cheng Yaojin sighed, "I want to ask Zhan to make meritorious service. Do you have a chance?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "You go back and pack up your things, and go to General Qin's tent to report to you half an hour later. You are his deputy general."

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Qiong, turned around and ran towards his camp. Qin Qiong looked at his back and smiled, "Actually, he is not bad, he seems rude and has a careful side, and has made many great contributions in the Wagang Army."

"Even if the Wagang Army makes great contributions, it has nothing to do with me. If he cannot make merit, he will not be able to get a reward of a little bit. The iron rule of the Fengzhou Army is even Yang Yuanqing."

After saying that, Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked towards the central army's tent. Qin Qiong hurriedly threw away his distractions and followed Yang Yuanqing to the tent.

In the central army's tent, only Li Jing stood in front of the sand table. Yang Yuanqing took Qin Qiong in and asked with a smile: "Sima, have you asked?"

Among the people who came with the three hundred palace maids, there were two old eunuchs from Fenyang Palace. Li Jing had just asked about their situation. He nodded, "I asked, there are 1,000 troops in Fenyang Palace. The food originally had 50,000 stones, but was moved away by Liu Wuzhou one after another. Now there are about 10,000 stones left, and there are still a lot of grass."

Yang Yuanqing walked to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at Fenyang Palace, and said to Qin Qiong: "I also participated in the construction of this Fenyang Palace back then. It is located at the northeast foot of Guancen Mountain. The terrain is steep and there is only one road to go up the mountain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You can also regard it as a castle. Its strategic location is very important. It is located at the junction of Mayi, Yanmen and Loufan counties. Taking it down is a wedge that penetrates Liu Wuzhou's heart, and at the same time it can cut off the transportation of Liu Wuzhou's north and south baggage."

Qin Qiong understood Yang Yuanqing's meaning, "The general manager meant to ask me to take down Fenyang Palace."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and handed him a map of Fenyang Palace, "I will give you three thousand troops, and take down Fenyang Palace within three days and guard it."

.........

Qin Qiong retreated, and only Li Jing and Yang Yuanqing were left in the central army's tent. Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "I really thought you didn't plan to use surprise weapons to deal with Liu Wuzhou. It seems that you still can't help but use it."

"The way to use troops lies in the combination of righteousness and wonder, how could I not use surprise weapons?"

Yang Yuanqing also smiled faintly and said, "Frankly speaking, I just didn't put Liu Wuzhou in the top position in the strategy. I'm more considering Li Yuan, and our real opponent is Li Yuan."

Li Jing was silent and said, "But no matter what, you can't underestimate Liu Wuzhou."

"I didn't look down on him."

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Maybe you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that while dealing with Liu Wuzhou, he is also dealing with Li Yuan. Now Liu Wuzhou is my obstacle, and I hope to turn him into Li Yuan's trouble."

Li Jing seemed to understand what Yang Yuanqing meant. He looked at the sand table deeply and pointed it at Lishi County with a wooden pole. "If this is the case, then the first step is to seize Lishi County and cut off Liu Wuzhou's escape westward journey."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "That's right, I've deployed it."

Li Jing was a little stunned. He didn't understand what Yang Yuanqing meant.

.........

At the Yellow River Ferry in Lishijun, Yellow River ferry boats are coming from the other side. On both sides are the Qinjin Canyon, which is more than ten feet high. The mountains are steep. The water is surging in the middle of the canyon. The water flows fast. But in the turbulent Yellow River water, hundreds of large ferries are coming by the wind and waves. The ship is full of soldiers and war horses. On the head, there is an extremely tall and fat general. It is Yang Wei. According to Yang Yuanqing's deployment, he led 10,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Yanshuikou and occupy Lishi County.

Lishi County was controlled by Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou deployed 20,000 troops here, stationed in four counties: Lishi, Dinghu, Xiuhua and Pingyi. The closest to the Yellow River Ferry is Dinghu County, which is only fifteen miles away from the ferry. There are 3,000 troops stationed by a commander of the commander.

At this time, Liu Wuzhou's army had received a report from the sentry that Sui soldiers crossed the river, and the commander general immediately led 3,000 people to cross the river.

The first batch of more than 1,400 people had crossed the river, and the ferry returned to transport the second batch. More than 1,400 Sui troops went up the cliff and lined up on a high ground. At this time, a scout rushed to Yang Wei to report: "Report to General, you found an enemy army five miles away coming to us, about 3,000 people."

"How about equipment?" Yang Wei asked calmly.

After years of training, Yang Wei has become a general who can stand alone. He can quickly capture the opponent's weaknesses and take advantage of the advantages of his own army.

"The clothes are mixed, some wear leather armor, some wear two-level armor, and some wear only cloth clothes. The weapons are messy, spears, short swords, and even see hoes."

"Are there any cavalry? How about the lineup?"

"Report to the general, there are only a dozen generals and cavalrymen. Although the team is lined up, it is very chaotic."

Yang Wei laughed. Judging from his experience, this was just an outer army of rioters and a group of mobs.

He immediately ordered the captain Zuo Yannian beside him: "You can lead the cavalry of our headquarters to disperse this army and kill it for the leader!"

"Abide by the order!"

The captain Zuo Yannian ran back to the team and waved his hand, "Come with me!"

Four hundred cavalrymen followed the captain Zuo Yannian and rushed away.
