Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Returning to Xinzhou, Yang Rong stationed 300,000 Song troops in Xinzhou City. Five days passed, but there was still no sign of departure.

    If it were in another state capital, such a large team stationed for a long time would definitely cause great trouble to the local area.

    But in Xinzhou, 300,000 people are nothing.  The food stored in the Xinzhou government treasury is enough to feed the entire Xinning army for ten years, supporting an army of 300,000 people, which does not put much pressure on the local government.

    It is precisely because of knowing this that Yang Rong dared to let the army be stationed here.

    On the second night after Yang Rong returned to Xinzhou, Hua Qing quietly left Xinzhou under the cover of darkness with 5,000 elite cavalrymen of the West Sai Army, and went straight to the direction of the Dangxiang people.

    The cavalry is very mobile. Yang Rong made a rough calculation and found that the period between Hua Qing's departure from Xinzhou and his engagement with the party members could not exceed five days.

    It is simply impossible for five thousand people to defeat the Dangxiang army.  All Hua Qing could do was to cause some trouble to the party members according to Yang Rong's instructions in advance.

    Female prisoners from all over the country came to Xinzhou one after another. The first batch to arrive were local prisoners from the Xinning Army.

    When these female prisoners entered the military camp, they were all wearing tattered prison uniforms. Yang Rong ordered the female soldiers of Hong Xiuqi to prepare some fancy clothes for them, let them wash themselves, and specially asked the military supplies to be prepared for them.  Daily fixed recipes.

    From the moment they entered the military camp, they were destined to be just the playthings of the male soldiers without wives in the military camp.

    Yang Rong is not a person who only knows how to make them pay without giving them anything in return.  When female prisoners entered the military camp, Yang Rong issued a strict order. Although all officers and soldiers could request their services, the number of prisoners would be limited every day, and violence against these female prisoners was strictly prohibited.

    Yang Rong stayed in Xinzhou for fifteen days. During this period, Yang Rong also received a letter from Song Taizong asking why he had not sent troops yet.

    When he received the letter, Yang Rong knew that the time had come to send troops to attack the party gathering place.

    Early on the morning of the sixteenth day, Yang Rong, fully dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Wang Jin and others, climbed onto the high platform of the school grounds.

    On the school grounds, the officers and soldiers of the Western Sai Army had already formed a neat queue, waiting for Yang Rong to give the order to set off.

    Standing on the high platform with his hands on his hips, Yang Rong looked around at the officers and soldiers of the Western Sai Army, waved to them and said: "They are all brothers who have been fighting with this general all year round. I won't say any more nonsense.  Those who should mount mount, those who should walk walk. Remember, when you go to the battlefield, don¡¯t lose your life easily. There are many new girls in the military camp waiting for you to crawl into their bellies. "

    As soon as these words were spoken, the officers and soldiers of the Western Sai Army all laughed.

    "Hong Xiuqi will stay and guard the home. The Yeqi camp is temporarily under the command of Chen Rui. Liu Suniang will stay in the Xinzhou camp and guard the camp with Yan Zhen. The rest of the people will wait and set off!" After giving a simple order, Yang Rong waved his hand and jumped down.  On the high platform, he got on his horse and headed straight out of the military camp.

    Yelv Xiuling never had the chance to go to the battlefield. When Yang Rong led the Xisai officers and soldiers to leave the military camp, she could only stand outside the camp gate, silently looking at the back of the army that was gradually retreating.

    Liu Yi had told Yang Rong earlier that she would definitely follow Yang Rong when he went on an expedition.  I don't know if it was because of Liu Yi's influence, but even Lian'er became very stubborn. Unless Yang Rong led the army to the expedition, she was a little worried. She had to stay by his side and protect him personally.

    Unable to defeat the two women, Yang Rong had no choice but to take them with him.

    After leading the Xisai Army out of the city, Yang Rong asked Chen Rui to notify the Song Army stationed outside the city, asking them to immediately follow the Xisai Army and advance northwest.

    Since Yang Rong captured Yinzhou and Xiazhou, the party members have been active in the west of Xiazhou and have never crossed Xiazhou.

    This is very different from the recorded activities of the Party members in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Linzhou and Fuzhou, which should have belonged to the border, became the rear supply base of the Song Dynasty because of Xiazhou.

    Leading the army through several state capitals, Yang Rong led an army of nearly 400,000 people to the border of Yinzhou.

    Going further west from Yinzhou, you will enter Xiazhou, where he once defeated the party members.

    When they arrived in Yinzhou, Yang Rong ordered the entire army to station outside Yinzhou City, while he led Chen Rui and Ye Ciying towards Yinzhou City.

    The closest to the Dangxiang people, Yinzhou has always been an important city that the Dangxiang people want to conquer.  Regarding Yinzhou, the Dangxiang people will definitely not be too relaxed, and the force invested here will definitely be stronger than that in Xinzhou, Ninghuajun and other places.

    Before advancing into the areas inhabited by Party members, the first thing Yang Rong had to do was to resolve the possible existence of Party members in Yinzhou and Xiazhou.The threat posed by Xiang people.

    Nearly 400,000 troops were stationed outside Yinzhou City, and the city was already in chaos.  When the officials of the Song Dynasty stationed in Yinzhou learned that Yang Rong was leading people towards the city, they quickly lined up a welcoming team outside the city gate, waiting for Yang Rong to enter the city.

    When he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the local officials of Yinzhou. Yang Rong held Quan in his arms with a smile on his face. As he rode towards the city, he said to the officials of Yinzhou: "Masters, thank you!"

    The officials also clasped their fists and returned to Yang Rong. The governor of Yinzhou even stepped forward and said to Yang Rong: "Master Yang worked tirelessly to lead the army to Yinzhou. He must be going west to eliminate the party members. Yinzhou has always been subject to party items.  The enemy will be attacked from time to time. If you can defeat the party Hulu in one fell swoop, it will be a blessing for Yinzhou and a blessing for the Song Dynasty!"

    "Before attacking the Dangxiang people, I, the general, still have some things to do in Yinzhou!" When he arrived in front of Zhizhou, Yang Rong jumped off his horse and said to him: "Although Yinzhou's army is not as numerous as Fuzhou and Linzhou,  , but it is also a powerful town in the northwest, so if the party members want to break it, it may not be very easy."

    "What you said is true!" After listening to Yang Rong's evaluation of Yinzhou, Zhizhou bowed slightly and said to him: "The city of Yinzhou is strong and thick, and many of the soldiers and horses in the city are veterans who have been fighting against the party members for many years.  In terms of combat, he has quite a lot of experience, but for some unknown reason, the officers and soldiers of Yinzhou have suffered repeated setbacks during the recent battle with the Dangxiang people. A few days ago, if a young general had not led the troops to rescue the siege in time, Yinzhou would have been defeated by now.  It fell into the hands of the party members."

    "Dangxiang people are attacking Yinzhou again?" After hearing Zhizhou's words, Yang Rong frowned, turned to look at Zhizhou, and asked him.

    The young general who led the troops to rescue the siege, Yang Rong could guess without even thinking, must be Hua Qing who had set out from Xinzhou earlier. However, the fact that the Party members launched an attack on Yinzhou so quickly really surprised Yang Rong.  and.  (To be continued.
