    (Thanks to Cuisine Fenshenv for your support, thank you!) Longyou, Lingzhou.  ¡À Since Yang Su defeated Datou, he has been stationed in Lingzhou City. At the same time, he sent his general Zhou Luohu to divide his troops to garrison Fengzhou.  In that battle, Yang Su did not use ordinary tactics. He gave up the traditional Han army's formation of chariots, cavalry and infantry to interact with cavalry, and directly faced the Datou army in a cavalry formation.  Datou was delighted to attack. As a result, the Turks were eager to win and underestimated the enemy. However, the experienced Yang Su seized the fleeting opportunity and sent out the most elite heavy cavalry to charge suddenly. Then he personally led the attack.  The army then covered up and killed Datou, thus defeating Datou's army of more than 100,000 people.  In that battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the two armies fought fiercely. Both sides attacked desperately. In the end, Yang Su had the last laugh, but his 150,000 troops also suffered heavy losses.  More than half.  Datou's losses were even more severe, and only more than 50,000 troops and horses were left to escape from the battlefield. Just when Yang Su was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, something unexpected happened in the capital.  Shi Wansui cunningly left the camp and led his troops to Liangzhou. As a result, Yang Su only had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands, and had to retreat to Ling and Fengzhou for rest and recuperation.  Shi Wansui occupied several states in Gan, Liang and Hui, and had nearly 50,000 horses.  Because of this, the West Route Army was divided into two, wary of each other, and was unable to make any further moves.  Yang Xiu sent people to pass several edicts, and the official titles he was given became larger and larger each time. First, he was granted the title of Grand Tutor, then Zuopushe of Jin, and later even directly granted the title of Minister. The new edict that arrived today added another title.  He is the Grand Master.  All his sons who followed the army were even granted the title of county prince.  Even my grandson was made a county official.  Later, Yang Guang finally sent someone to deliver an imperial edict, granting him the titles of Duke of Chu, Grand Master, and Shangshu Ling.  He even pursued his father as the county king.  "Father, what are you waiting for?" the eldest son Yang Xuangan asked his father in confusion.  On the table in his father's study were the edicts one after another, with higher rewards each time, but there was no movement from his father at all.  "There is still one missing imperial edict." Yang Su sat on the chair, stroking his beard and holding a book in his hand, but he didn't turn it once for a long time, obviously absent-minded.  Yang Xuangan didn¡¯t understand. There was still no imperial edict. Could it be that his father was still waiting to be crowned king?  "Xuangan, you are still too young." Yang Su said.  "If you stay like this, how will the Yang family be handed over to you in the future?" "Father, in the last battle, I led three thousand cavalry under my command to defeat multiple enemies, and the Turks fled." Yang Xuangan replied, "  I'm afraid my father doesn't know that he is now called the King of Chu in the military." Yang Xuan was very proud of receiving this title.  He also proved himself with Ma Shu during this Northern Expedition.  "According to the news, Yang Xiu used a trick to capture and kill Yang Zhao, and recaptured the Yizhou Army and Yizhou. Gao Yan, He Ruobi, Han Monk, Shouyu Wenbi and others welcomed Yang Lin into Taiyuan and placed Yang Yong under house arrest. Also, Yang  Guang borrowed troops from Goguryeo. The King of Goguryeo led 80,000 Liao soldiers into western Liaoning. Yang Lin sent He Ruobi with 120,000 infantry to attack Guanzhong. "Yang Su said while watching his son pour wine.  , Shi Wansui has pledged his allegiance to Yang Xiu. The troops are arriving at Huining Pass. They are only three days away from us. " "How is this possible? Isn't Shi Wansui one of Yang Yong's people?" Yang Xuangan didn't understand.  Why did Shi Wansui suddenly vote for Yang Xiu?  "Xuan Gan. Use your brain more. Don't you know what kind of reckless man Shi Wansui is? He is extremely greedy and has no loyalty at all. When he was fighting in the southwest, he offended Yang Xiu and was imprisoned.  The King of Jin tried so hard to rescue him. As a result, he later accepted Yang Yong's bribe and betrayed the King of Jin. Now, I am not surprised that he voted for Yang Xiu.  Xiu's condition for him was to make him the Duke of Wu, a Taibao, and the Right Servant of Shangshu. Now this greedy guy actually wanted to be the Third Duke and the Prime Minister. He didn't even look at it. He was so stupid.  What qualifications do you have to be a general or a prime minister? "Shi Wansui has commanded troops under Yang Su many times, and Yang Su thinks he has a thorough understanding of Shi Wansui.  This guy has always been unruly and unruly. When he was under his command, he disobeyed orders many times and acted daringly. But this guy always felt that he was suppressing him and taking away his military glory.  He didn't even look at it. He needed to suppress him and take away his military glory?  "Being a general or a prime minister, Shi Wansui doesn't have the brains. He can fight and rush into battle, but he is at most a cavalry general and at most a general. He is not even handsome. Compared to his father, he is far behind.  "Yang Xuangan quickly flattered his father.  "This man has no other abilities, but his courage has always been amazing. I can't understand where he got the courage to lead his troops to challenge me." "Could it be Yang Xiu's instigation, father?  There was no reply to him, so he acted preemptively." Yang Su picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then picked up the book and looked at it before putting it down.At this time, he really wasn't in the mood to read.  Shi Wansui led his troops, obviously aiming at him, which surprised him. Was this Shi Wansui's own intention or Yang Xiu's?  On the one hand, he felt that this might just be Shi Wansui's own intention. Although this guy had been under his command several times, he had always been at odds with him. He always felt that he had suppressed him, and even always wanted to replace him.  Now maybe he got Yang Xiu's promise to be the prime minister, and immediately and boldly wanted to take advantage of the fire, and take advantage of the fact that his men were outnumbered to attack him and replace him.  But on the other hand, he felt that without Yang Xiu's instigation or Yang Xiu's acquiescence, no matter how bold Shi Wansui was, he would not dare to challenge him.  No matter what, Yang Xiu is unreliable.  "Father, I don't understand, haven't you always supported King Jin? Now that he has become emperor and controls half of the country, why are you unwilling to respond to the order? The conditions promised by King Jin are not bad." Yang Su shook his head,  When he supported Yang Guang, he didn't support it from the beginning, but after watching carefully for a long time, and seeing that the prince had indeed done evil, and that King Jin was deeply interested in him, and had a great chance of winning, he finally  Betting on King Jin.  But it's different now. The situation is changing, and it's changing dramatically.  Three emperors, Yang Xiu, Yang Yong and Yang Guang.  In other words, the three forces of Yang Xiu, Yang Lin, and Yang Guang now have no interference from the emperor.  They can only rely on their own strength, and among these three parties.  Yang Xiu is undoubtedly the weakest, and is the target of public criticism. The reputation of regicide and usurping the throne is well established, and it is difficult to stand up.  In the fight between Yang Guang and Yang Lin, the father and son, Yang Guang did not have the slightest advantage, especially when Yang Zhao was killed by Yang Xiu just now. This was a huge blow to Yang Guang. The prince was suddenly killed and he lost the five sons of Yizhou.  Thousands of soldiers and horses.  Even the large area of ??Yizhou was returned to Yang Xiu's hands in the blink of an eye.  After Yang Guang died, the prince lost another third of his territory. There was even another important thing. Yang Guang originally only had two sons. Now the eldest son is in the hands of Yang Xiu, and the second son is also in the hands of Yang Xiu.  , Yang Guang now doesn¡¯t even have a son.  The only remaining illegitimate son, Yang Lin, has become his biggest rival.  Yang Su thought about it and felt that Yang Guang's future was worrying, which was why he never replied to Yang Guang.  Yang Su¡¯s philosophy has always been to never stand on the side of those who are doomed to lose.  "I heard what my father said. You actually want to join Yang Lin?" Yang Xuangan was surprised.  "Is there anything to be surprised about?" Yang Su taught his son, "Of course we have to be on the side of the winner. In this regard, as a father, I have to admire the old thief Gao Jiong who has painstakingly supported the prince for twenty years. Once the most important thing comes  He gave up at the critical moment without any hesitation. I have to admire his decisiveness. Speaking of which, I still have some friendship with Yang Lin. " "But we are in Longyou now.  Being blocked from Xiaoguan, Shi Wansui sent troops to attack again. If we surrendered to Yang Lin at this time, Yang Xiu might just sit back and watch. In this case, we could only retreat to Fengzhou or retreat.  "Hedong?" "I don't care about joining Yang Lin now, but Yang Lin has never sent anyone to contact me." Yang Lin didn't care about revealing his true thoughts to his son.  In fact, Yang Lin had sent someone to contact him. At that time, Yang Xuangan even went with him to meet the visitor. However, he believed that his father meant that Yang Lin did not offer the same favorable conditions as Yang Xiu and Yang Guang.  As a father, if you don't pay enough attention to him, just taking the initiative to stick it out like this would be a loss of status and you won't get the attention you deserve.  Especially since Gao Jiong, whom his father had always regarded as his rival, is now still the Shangshu Ling and Grand Master of the Yang Lin Dynasty, his father will be more and more concerned about this.  "Perhaps Yang Lin saw that my father only had these 30,000 troops to guard the two states, and he didn't pay enough attention. Maybe my father should give Shi Wansui a good knife and show off his father's skills.  "Yang Su played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckle.  The father¡¯s words may often mean that he has made up his mind.  Yang Xuangan picked up the wine glass and was about to put it to his mouth, but when he heard this, he quickly put it down.  "Start a war with Shi Wansui?" he repeated doubtfully.  If he hadn't always admired his father in his heart, he would have thought his father was joking.  Shi Wansui has more than 40,000 troops, while they only have 30,000. During this period, I heard that Shi Wansui was still recruiting troops and horses in Hexi. And maybe Shi Wansui came here with Yang Xiu's instructions, so Yang Xiu's troops may be available at any time.  It is possible to break out of Xiaoguan.  They are guarding this river and have no reinforcements. How can they fight?  Besides, although my father is powerful, this guy Shi Wansui is also brave.  Although he is crazy, he does have the ability to be crazy. The last time he had a decisive battle with the Turks, he saw with his own eyes the scene when Shi Wansui led his troops to charge. He was so brave.  Shi Wansui was not only fierce, but also had many fierce generals under his command. One of them, Zhang Xutuo, left a deep impression on him. He seemed to be an inconspicuous middle-aged man, but he was impeccable in leading troops and even created his own  What kind of Eight Wind Formation is really amazing.  Last time he led a battalion to defeat twice as many raids.However, Zhang Xutuo defeated tens of thousands of Turkic troops with his Eight Winds Camp.  "Wars don't rely entirely on numbers. Otherwise, how could we have defeated 200,000 Turks with 150,000 troops last time? And how could Yang Lin defeat hundreds of thousands of Turks with only tens of thousands of troops in Daibei? Fighting depends on  It¡¯s the head!¡± Yang Su pointed at his head.  Father always has a way to defeat the many with less and the weak with the strong.  Many people always say that my father's military use relies on the word cruelty and strict military laws.  But what they didn't see was that although their father was very strict with his troops, among the generals in the imperial court, he was the commander who had the most support from his subordinates.  He always has a way to win the support of the soldiers, even at the cost of his life.  Other so-called famous generals such as Shi Wansui and He Ruobi have never been able to do this.  He once asked his father about the secret, and his father's answer was only one sentence, "Only rewards and punishments are clear!" It is very simple, but how many people can really do it?  "But we only have 30,000 people, and there are still many wounded soldiers." "Thirty thousand people are enough to deal with Shi Wansui, a reckless man." Yang Su said confidently.  At the beginning of May, Yi Feng led his army southward, taking Yang Yong with him.  Yang Yong kept yelling and refused to leave Taiyuan. He finally figured it out. He could never regain his power. Since he was destined to be Yang Lin's puppet, and maybe one day Yang Lin wouldn't need him anymore.  So why not just enjoy it now? These days in Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan are quite happy. At least there is no shortage of women and good wine. In this case, why bother to trek all the way to Luoyang? Anyway, go  Going to Luoyang would be like being a puppet, so he might as well stay in Taiyuan. Maybe he would be more comfortable without Yang Lin at that time.  Unfortunately, Yang Lin ignored him at all and directly sent Prince Zuowei and General Zuo Yulin, Qin Qiong, with a group of Beiya forbidden troops to force him on the road.  At last he still had some face as the emperor, so Qin Qiong finally agreed to bring along the beauties he favored in Jinyang Palace.  When Yifeng and the Taiyuan court went south, some of the imperial troops from Beiya who had gone south earlier had already taken over Shifenlu, Hedong, Jinfenze, Jiangcipu and other states, and advanced directly into Luoyang.  In Jiangzhou, Hedong, the northern end of Zhiguanxing, the first pass of the Eighth Routes of Taihang, is located here. It is connected to Jiyuan, Heyang, north of Luoyang in the south. This is the northern end of the important passage from the east of the river to Luoyang, and it is also the gateway to the southeast of the river.  Baibi Town, twenty miles southwest of Jiangzhou, and eight miles away from Zhouhui, is an important gate guarding this gateway.  Yi Feng and his party went south. When they arrived at Jiangzhou, He Ruobi, who had gone south early, still attacked Puzhou to the east of the Yellow River and made no progress.  "He Ruobi wanted to seize Pujin Pass and enter the pass. He launched several fierce attacks. However, Pujin Bridge was extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was difficult for He Ruobi to advance." Wang Bao, the privy envoy, reported to Yi Feng the latest progress of the rebel army.  Yi Feng was not surprised. It goes without saying that Guanzhong is dangerous. Although He Ruobi is a famous general, not all Guanzhong defenders are vegetarians. As long as Guanzhong generals don't surrender in vain, it is impossible to invade Guanzhong in a short time.  impossible.  Yi Feng did not expect that he could immediately enter the pass, so he was not disappointed when he heard the result.  "You don't have to just focus on Pujin Pass. You can send one or two partial divisions to go around to the upper reaches, such as Mengmen Pass in Shizhou, Yonghe Pass, Madou Pass in Xizhou, and Longmen Pass in Jiangzhou. They all cross the river and go westward.  There is no need to keep an eye on Pujin Pass. First find a way to cross the river, then occupy a bridgehead and advance base, and then take your time and don't rush." ??Yi Feng asked the Privy Council to send a message to He Ruobi.  (Please vote for recommendations!)
