Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the tower of Tokyo City, Song Taizong, who was dressed in a yellow robe, accompanied by ministers, quietly looked at the black and invisible Forbidden Army below the city.

    Three hundred thousand forbidden troops were ready to go. Yang Rong was riding a horse, standing at the forefront of the forbidden troops, facing the towering city wall.

    "Soldiers!" Yang Rongle turned to his horse and shouted at the top of his lungs at the 300,000 forbidden troops.

    All the Imperial Guards officers and soldiers straightened their chests and looked at him, their eyes unblinking as they looked at Yang Rong who was standing in front of them on horseback.

    Although there were 300,000 people gathered outside the city, except for the sound of war flags fluttering in the wind, the whole world was silent, and even people's breathing could be clearly heard.

    "A few days ago, Party Xiang Li Jiqian colluded with a group of scum among the Han people and assassinated His Royal Highness King Xu!" The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forbidden Army looked around, and Yang Rong said to them in a sad tone: "They even tried to assassinate today's  Prince, if you want me to have no successor in the Song Dynasty in the future! You are so cruel!"

    When Yang Rong was speaking, the officers and soldiers stood straight and listened to him quietly. A flash of anger flashed in everyone's eyes.

    "Why are they doing this?" Yang Rong licked his lips and shouted to the Imperial Guards and soldiers: "I tell you, they want us to cause chaos in the Song Dynasty! Then they can send their troops eastward and occupy our Song Dynasty.  The country will turn all of us into their slaves! Tell me, do you agree?"

    "No!" All the Imperial Guards and soldiers raised their weapons and responded loudly to Yang Rong's question.

    "Then what are you going to do?" When the officers and soldiers put down their weapons, Yang Rong shouted to them again.

    "Kill the party members! Capture Li Jiqian alive!" As soon as Yang Rong finished speaking, Chen Rui and Xiao Ting raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

    "Kill the party members! Capture Li Jiqian alive!" Following the shouts of the two men, all the Song troops shouted. The waves of sound made the trembling earth seem to tremble a few times.

    "Okay!" When the shouts of the officers and soldiers ended, Yang Rong nodded and shouted to them: "Advance to the northwest, serve the court, and avenge King Xu!"

    "Advance to the northwest, serve the imperial court, and avenge King Xu!" The morale of the officers and soldiers was unprecedentedly high, and there was a strong murderous aura in their shouts.

    Song Taizong, who was standing on the tower, nodded slightly. This time, when Yang Rong went on an expedition, he did not give Yang Rong a formation map. All command was left to Yang Rong himself.

    This has never happened since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty.

    The reason why Song Taizong did this was because he knew very well that the territory of the Dangxiang people was indeed different from that of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. It was not suitable for large corps to fight on the land of Dangxiang. If he wanted to win this war, he had to  The command of the battlefield must be handed over to the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

    When the shouts of the officers and soldiers died down, Yang Rong turned around, clasped his fists towards Song Taizong who was standing on the city wall, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Yang Rong, is leading an army to conquer Dangxiang today, and I would like to express my intention to the Holy Majesty!  During this trip, I am determined to fulfill the orders of the Holy One, break through the Helan Mountains, and annihilate Party Hulu!"

    "Thank you, Yang Aiqing!" Song Taizong nodded slightly, raised his hands, and shouted to the Song army soldiers who were in formation outside the city: "Soldiers, I will follow General Yang on the expedition today. I hope you will be worthy of your wait."  I hope to kill the enemy bravely. When the soldiers return in triumph, I will personally serve wine to welcome the soldiers!"

    "Thank you, God!" All the officers and soldiers, including Yang Rong, clasped their hands and thanked Song Taizong.

    After thanking the emperor for his kindness, Yang Rong ordered people to fetch wine and poured a full bowl into the wine bowls in front of all the officers and soldiers.

    He raised the wine bowl in his hand high and said to the officers and soldiers: "Soldiers, after drinking this bowl of wine, we will be on our way! In the days to come, I, the general, will share the joys and sorrows with my brothers until we defeat the party members."  ! Let¡¯s raise the bowl together and drink from it!¡±

    After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl first.

    The officers and soldiers also raised their wine bowls and drank the wine all night long.

    Yang Rong raised his hand and threw the wine bowl to the ground, waved his hand towards the officers and soldiers, and shouted: "Let's go!" and took the lead in the northwest direction.

    All 300,000 Song troops smashed the wine bowls in their hands and followed Yang Rong, marching northwest.

    An army of 300,000 people can be said to be very large in scale.  Song Taizong stood on the city tower and watched the team slowly drive out from the city and move towards the direction of the party members. He was somewhat excited in his heart.

    Party Xiang Li Jiqian had numerous dealings with the Song Dynasty. He defected to the Song Dynasty several times and betrayed him many times.  Song Taizong also gave him the surname Zhao and changed his name to Zhao Baozhong.  But this dear friend, not only did not protect his loyalty, but he was always thinking about how to get out of the Song Dynasty.Get out under the jurisdiction.

    This time, Song Taizong was finally angry.  He no longer wanted to play the game of surrender with Li Jiqian.  Since the barbarians want to fight, then fight thoroughly and let them perish and destroy their species, so that the Song Dynasty can be protected.

    The departing army marched for two or three hours.  Song Taizong also stood on the city wall for two or three hours.

    The number of the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty was only five to six hundred thousand, but this time Yang Rong took away 300,000 of the Forbidden Army.  It can be said that this time, Song Taizong devoted all his efforts to defeat the party members in one fell swoop.

    War will consume countless money and food, and countless people will die.  But after a war, the world will experience a cleansing, and all past conflicts will be temporarily eliminated.

    Yang Rong led an army of 300,000 to the expedition. What Song Taizong wanted was not to temporarily resolve the conflict, but that he had made up his mind to completely wipe out the Dangxiang people from the world.

    Yang Rong, who led the army toward the northwest on horseback, naturally understood Song Taizong's intentions.

    From the moment he set off for the expedition, he had already expected that this would be a more bloody and cruel war than the Song-Liao War.

    "General!" Yang Rong didn't say anything the whole way. Liu Yi, who was riding beside him, turned to look at him and asked him: "The general seems to be worried, what is he thinking about?"

    Yang Rong sighed softly and lowered his head, as if saying to Liu Yi or to himself: "This time, I'm afraid it will be a genocidal war."

    "General, what do you mean, we need to kill all the party members?" Liu Yi frowned, turned to look at Yang Rong, and said to him: "We only need to kill all those who resist, the elderly, children, women and children.  , can the general also do it?"

    Yang Rong slowly shook his head and said to Liu Yi: "Genocide does not necessarily require killing. The Holy Master probably hopes that after we eliminate Li Jiqian's forces, we will disperse the party members and then move to nearby places where Han people are concentrated.  , want them to intermarry with the Han people, and through assimilation, let this nation completely disappear!"
