Since Han Weichen Qingshan Town was defeated, Yang Yanting's idea has always been to prevent the war from burning around Shenjing.

Because the surrounding area of ​​Shenjing is densely populated, it is the richest place in the north of the Dagan Dynasty.

If it were robbed by Ye He's tribe, the court would probably not be able to recover its vitality within several years.

That is why he advocated that Li Chengzong should defend the road to eastward.

According to Yang Yanting's plan, reinforcements from several northern provinces followed, working with Ye He's troops with all their might and trying their best to regain the looted population and property.

At that time, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, it would not affect the overall situation. After all, with the three major camps of Shenjing, even if the rest of the troops were defeated, it would not be too miserable.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengzong was whimsical and wanted to encircle and annihilate Yehe's cavalry. The emperor also adopted this method, which led to a great defeat.

The only thing that made Yang Yanting feel a little relieved was that Ye He's tribe did not go to the east to take advantage of the victory and rob Shenjing.

What Yang Yanting didn't know was that Ye Hezhen didn't want to move eastward, but that there were too many people from the Dagan Dynasty surrounding him, and he was a little worried.

As a hero in the area, Ye Hezhen is very clear about the benefits of going east to Shenjing. However, if you go east, it is easy to suffer a loss.

After all, there are more than 200,000 troops from the Dakan Dynasty around him.

If Ye He's troops advance eastward, these more than 200,000 troops could follow and cut off his way back.

The most important thing is that in addition to robbing the Yehe tribe's invasion, it also had the idea of ​​testing the military preparations of the Dagan Dynasty.

Now that both main goals have been achieved, and they have defeated the three camps of Shenjing, Ye Hezhen naturally will not continue to take risks.

The emperor did not know Yang Yanting’s thoughts, but Shenjing’s safety was guaranteed, so he naturally began to pay attention to the current war.

"My dear, even if Ye He's troops do not enter Shenjing east, they will plunder in our dynasty. If they are allowed to return north easily, where is the majesty of our dynasty!"

The emperor is no longer young and looks at face more than anything else. Now that he is slapped in Ye He's mouth, he is naturally unwilling to accept it.

"Your Majesty, I ask for an order to leave the capital and command the troops of various provinces. When fighting with Yehe's troops, at least some of the robbed people and property will be recaptured!"

Shenjing should be very safe now. Yang Yanting felt that the burden on his body was lighter, so he wanted to go to the front line and direct the battle himself.

The war was tense before, and the Minister of War had a huge responsibility and needed to allocate materials and could not leave easily.

Now that the war is coming to an end, Yang Yanting requests an order to leave the capital, the emperor is naturally happy to see that it is accomplished and nods immediately agrees.

The decree was soon issued, and Yang Yanting left the capital as the supervisor and commanded the war with full authority.

Before leaving Beijing, Yang Yanting ordered reinforcements from several northern provinces to gather together and follow the cavalry twenty miles away from Yehe's troops.

Then he rushed to the front line the next morning.

At this time, Ye Hezhen led a large group of people to escort the robbed materials and captives, and slowly returned to the north.

Because the prisoners walked slowly, Ye He's troops were not in a hurry and only advanced thirty miles a day, which was also the normal speed of infantry marching.

All the people from the Dagan Dynasty also gathered together according to Yang Yanting's instructions and followed Ye He's tribe in a distance.

When Yang Yanting arrived in front of the army, he also saw Duke Cao Li Chengzong and the remnants of the three camps.

"I've met Shangshu Yang!"

Although Li Chengzong was defeated, the court had not deprived him of his position, so before Yang Yanting arrived, he was the main military.

"snort!"

He snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, and then Yang Yanting asked: "How is the situation in the three camps?"

Li Chengzong immediately told the current situation: "A few days ago, there were more than 27,000 remaining troops from the three battalions, and the Yehe cavalry were twenty miles ahead of us!"

These 27,000 troops were all gathered after Li Chengzong's defeat. After all, it was a head-on battle, and both sides were prepared to not be wiped out.

Hearing that there were more than 20,000 remaining soldiers, Yang Yanting's face looked very ugly, but Li Chengzong was a Duke of the State. Although he was responsible for the war, he had no right to deal with it.

Afterwards, Yang Yanting asked about some information, learned more about the inside story, and made arrangements immediately.

He drew 20,000 elite soldiers and as a front army, he chased after him to fight Ye He's troops.

Don’t seek to defeat the enemy, just seek to protect yourself and get entangled.

The cavalry of various people and horses were gathered together, with a total of more than 10,000 people, and they were allowed to follow the infantry.

However, the cavalry did not have to participate in the battle, but only followed from a distance and put pressure on Yehe's troops.

Yang Yanting personally commanded the central army and advanced slowly, focusing on stability.

According to Yang Yanting's plan, once this tactic is unfolded, the Yehe tribe's people will not fight or run.

After all, the elite infantry will definitely pursue the prisoners, and they can only get rid of them unless Yehe's troops give up all the prisoners and baggage, and the light cavalry will go north.

It is very difficult to destroy these 20,000 people, because there are 10,000 cavalry behind them and 200,000 troops moving forward slowly.

If the Yehe clan's cavalry cannot deal with these 20,000 elite troops in a short period of time, they will be caught up by the central army behind them.

So the next day, a battle of chasing me started.

Although the Yehe cavalry was brave, they were unable to defeat 20,000 elite infantry in a short period of time.

Each battle lasts for one or two hours, Yang Yanting's central army will arrive. Ye He's troops do not want to fight to the decisive battle and have to retreat.

But Ye He's troops retreated, and 20,000 elite troops took a break and replenished their troops, they would chase them again.

Although infantry cannot escape the cavalry, there is no problem catching up with the prisoners.

Ye Hezhen, who could not abandon the prisoners, could only let the prisoners go first and lead the brigade to cut off the rear.

As a result, he was caught in a war of attrition, and Yang Yanting's central army followed slowly and maintained sufficient energy.

After three days of fighting, under Yang Yanting's struggle, Ye He's troops returned north for only 90 miles and suffered thousands of troops. Ye He was really upset.

"Khan, the Nanmanzi followed us like a dog-skin plaster. This would not work!"

Military advisor Yuwen Hu knew the current dilemma and was very worried.

"It can't continue like this!"

Ye Hezhen also knew that he could not continue like this, otherwise he would continue to bleed.

As for the decisive battle with the pursuers of the Daqian Dynasty, Ye Hezhen never considered it.

After all, there are more than 200,000 pursuers, and Yehe's cavalry totals less than 100,000, so it is not a wise move to defeat the majority.

"What does Khan mean?"

The situation in front of you is really unfavorable. If you want to bring your baggage and return to the north, it will be difficult to get rid of the pursuers.

If you give up, the pursuers can get rid of it, but the losses are too great, Yuwen Hu is very unwilling to accept it.

"Come on, call Ye Hexiong!"

Without a direct answer, Ye Hezhen spoke and ordered the messenger next to him.

"See Khan!"

In a short while, Ye Hexiong came, but his expression was a little irritable.

The battles these days have made every Yehe general feel a sense of aggrievance.

Some reckless generals frequently asked Ye Hezhen for orders to fight the pursuers behind him.

Fortunately, Ye He was really calm and knew that the decisive battle was not good at this time, so he suppressed the generals.

"Ye Hexiong, you will leave the brigade with your troops tomorrow morning and attack Shenjing!"

As a hero of a generation, Ye Hexiong had already thought of a way to break the deadlock, which was to send a small group of people to Shenjing to make trouble.

In this way, the situation will definitely change, and even directly change the current situation.

"Go to Shenjing!" Ye Hexiong was stunned.

"Yes! Go to Shenjing!"

Ye Hezhen confirmed it once, and then continued to speak: "Remember, going to Shenjing is just a cover, not to let you fight Shenjing.

You can rob and intimidate the emperor, and the more the noise the better, but it only takes five days.

Five days later, no matter what the situation is, you must retreat, otherwise you will easily be blocked by the southern barbarians!"

"promise!"

"Remember, you can't fight to the death on this trip. If you feel the danger, retreat immediately!"

"Don't worry, Dahan, I understand what to do!"

Ye Hexiong already understood Ye Hezhen's purpose and immediately made a guarantee.

The next morning, Ye Hexiong took his cavalry and left the brigade. He first shot southward to confuse the pursuers behind him, and then turned eastward.

Ye Hexiong's actions were soon discovered by the Dagan Dynasty, and the news also fell into Yang Yanting's hands.

"What are the plans for the small group of cavalry going south?"

Yang Yanting was somewhat puzzled and didn't know the other party's purpose.

Li Chengzong, who was guilty in front of the army, immediately spoke, "Shangshu Yang, the barbarians of the grassland travel south, are they going to rob them?"

"There are troops around, and there are no people at all. How to rob them!"

Yang Yanting looked down on Li Chengzong very much, but the court had not dealt with, so he could not do anything, so he could only let the other party serve in front of the army.
