Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 563: Capture the chief and frighten the subordinates to win

"This person is Chief Hu, general!"

Several warriors escorted Xujituo and pushed him all the way to a man in armor in the forest. This man was Yang Song.

There was an excitement that had not dissipated on Yang Song's face. He looked at the handsome Xianbei man in front of him, took two steps forward, and swept his eyes over him. There was no concealment in his sizing look.

Xujituo's eyes widened, he gnashed his teeth, and looked like he was going to eat Yang Song alive. With the blood and mud on his face, he looked ferocious, but his hands were behind his back and his whole body was tied up. So no matter how fierce his expression was, Yang Song would not be moved at all.

What's more, Yang Song had just led his troops to defeat the Xianbei man in front of him.

So, Yang Song smiled and said: "Is this the leader of Xianbei? He doesn't look like much. Tell me, where are you from, which tribe are you from, and who sent you here."

"Yang Jun, now is not the time to ask these questions," a man came up from the side and said loudly. This man was Su Liao.

As soon as he saw Su Liao, Yang Song's expression immediately changed. He lowered his attitude and said, "Mr. Su, why are you here? The battlefield here has not completely subsided, and there are still a few Xianbei people who are fighting stubbornly." , at least wait until I clean up the battlefield and take away all the miscellaneous fish that still don’t understand the situation, then you can come back.”

Su Liao shook his head and said: "Yang Jun followed the eunuch's order and divided his troops to encircle him. He calculated with intention but without intention. There is no reason to be invincible. However, this group of Xianbei barbarians is not the only one in the current generation of the county. Therefore, it is best to do everything as soon as possible. Wonderful, prevent extra branches from growing."

Yang Song laughed sarcastically, nodded and said, "Sir, you're right. I got a little carried away. The prefect sent you to follow me, probably because he was worried about me." As he spoke, he waved to a few people and said, " Okay, let’s escort this barbarian down and keep him under guard until I see the county magistrate before interrogating him!”

"promise!"

A group of soldiers also looked excited, escorting Sujituo towards the depths of the forest. Sujituo seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and babbled, but they couldn't understand it, and he was immediately attacked by an excited soldier. slap.

These are all newcomers who have never been on the battlefield before. When they first rushed out of the forest, many of them were filled with anger, excitement and fear. But when the fight actually started, with the blood flying, even though there were comrades one after another, They fell down, but they could see victory step by step, so the sense of conquest overwhelmed their fear, making them more and more handy.

Now that the dust has fallen to the ground, all the leaders of Xianbei have been captured, which means that they have won a complete victory in this battle. The fear in their hearts has disappeared, replaced by a kind of joy!An indescribable sense of joy, honor and accomplishment.

Da da da!
At this time, there was a sound of trampling horseshoes outside the forest, which attracted everyone's attention, and Yang Song took advantage of the situation to look over.

Through the layers of branches and leaves, you can see dozens of knights moving forward slowly. Behind their mounts, they are dragging many branches and raising a lot of dust behind them. It looks like it is blocking the sky and the sun, as if there is something. It's like hundreds of horses galloping.

"It turns out...that's it! I fell for it!" Xu Jituo, who also walked a few steps behind Yang Song and looked back, also saw such a scene. The sweetness in his mouth almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Until now, he still doesn't know that he has been completely plotted, but now he only has one thought in his heart -

"Whose troops are these people?"

Xujituo was very familiar with the appearance of troops stationed on the border, so he knew very clearly that these people were definitely not Wang Quan's troops, so who could they be?
Vaguely, he had already guessed a person, but he was unwilling to admit it or confirm it in his heart.

"General, the general situation has been calculated." At this time, another person came over. Among the many soldiers, this person's body seemed a bit unusual, because he was slightly stout, but he was wearing Wu Ding's clothes. Come over one step at a time.

"Wang Niu, tell me about the situation." Yang Song said to the person beside him as he walked towards the outside of the forest.

The person who came to report was none other than Wang Niu, but compared with before, his energy and spirit had changed significantly, and he was also much thinner than when he first arrived. After listening to Yang Song's instructions, he clearly understood Throat, then said: "Based on the feedback from many team leaders, we probably lost more than 150 people in this battle. In addition, more than 500 people were injured, of which more than 100 were seriously injured. From now on, we should We can no longer participate in the war.”

"One hundred and fifty people were killed and more than 100 people were seriously injured, which means there will be a total loss of nearly 300 people. I brought a total of 4000 people this time. This loss is not small, but it is better than expected." Yang Song nodded. He was obviously well prepared for these injuries, so he did not seem too surprised or sad. "After all, it was luck this time. The Xianbei people drove the people away. Although they were frantic, they also killed most of their cavalry advantages in vain. After all, a cavalryman who cannot run will have his combat power reduced by at least [-]%."

Wang Niu also nodded.

Yang Song followed up and said: "Before the prefect sent me here, he specifically explained that all those who died in battle should be asked about their names and origins, and a list should be made. Those who were seriously injured and unable to go into battle should also be included. Please explain it quickly, so that Each team leader must know clearly the losses of his team. In addition, the Xianbei people must also know how many they killed and how many they captured. These captured governors also have their uses."

When he said this, he had already walked out of the forest and saw his younger brother Yang Yuan sitting on the horse. The latter was dismounting and walking towards him.Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Niu said again: "There is one more thing I want to tell the general. My fellow countryman Jiang Xi has made a great contribution this time. The Xianbei leader was able to catch him because Jiang Xi hurt him first. In addition, In addition, he also captured another leader of Xianbei."

"The prefect also said that if you have merit, you will be rewarded. The achievements of your fellow countrymen will not be buried, and the same goes for others. Write them down." Yang Song looked at him and nodded, and then came to Yang Yuan's side.

Yang Yuan's eyes fell on Wang Niu, who immediately understood and bowed his head to leave.

As soon as they left, Yang Yuan said: "Brother, you are leading this army now, so whether it is rewards or punishments, all the orders come from you. Why do you have to mention the prefect in everything?"

Yang Song said: "But this time, whether it is the siege of the city, or these lists, rewards and punishments, it is all given by the prefect, and I am just the one who executes it."

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "Believe me, brother, if you do everything according to the prefect's words, no one may remember your name in the future, and this is probably not what the prefect wants."

"Let's talk about these things later." Yang Song said, then looked at the battlefield that had basically calmed down behind Yang Yuan, showing excitement, "How about this, this is the first time for you and I to lead an army. After going out on an expedition, he achieved such a great victory, defeated a barbarian army, captured many prisoners, and relieved the city's difficulties. I think few people can compare with him at home."

Speaking of this, even Yang Yuan couldn't help laughing, showing a bit of pride: "This is true, and I was ordered to attack, not just to break the siege of the city, but also to understand some of the situation in the north, to explore I visited a lot of places and gained a little bit. I have written a letter and sent it to the prefect."

"Yes, but we must not forget that this war was actually planned by the prefect." When Yang Song spoke, he couldn't help but look to the south. "It's a pity that this time he secretly visited Chencang. He originally wanted to conceal the situation and hide the situation from the Xiongnu." I have tried to lure people out, but have been unsuccessful until now. Seeing the people being forced to attack the city, I couldn't help but order the attack, and I don't know if I will be held accountable afterwards."

Yang Yuan said: "On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. Where there is a perfect strategy, the order of the eunuch is just a policy, let you and me play by ear. Besides, you have such a big victory, the eunuch will only praise you, how can you hold them accountable?"

While the two brothers were talking, suddenly a Wu Ding came over to report that many people had come out of the county and wanted to see them.

"Wu Guangshu has some idea. Let's see what he says later. Even the people sent by the prefect to patrol were locked up before. That was very arrogant." Yang Song nodded, and then talked to Yang Song with a half-smile. Yuan said.

Yang Yuan then said: "This kind of people are afraid of power but not moral. They cannot be controlled by gentleness, so they can only be subdued by coercion. This is also one of the purposes of the prefect sending troops. If they win on the battlefield, they must also win in the officialdom."

Yang Song and his brother said as they walked, "That's right, but it's a pity that this battle is too costly. Otherwise, I will definitely ask the prefect to capture Wang Quan as well."

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong. Wang Quan is also Daijun's barrier. He is guarding the north and can save a lot of trouble. How can he capture him? Besides, after hearing what my brother said, is it possible that he is addicted to fighting? Is it? If you want to be a general, the family will definitely not agree, maybe your father will call you back immediately."

Yang Song was startled and quickly whispered: "I'm just saying, you can't inform your family."

While they were talking, Wu Guangshu and others could be seen in front of them, taking the lead. Many officials from the county ran over and stopped quickly when they arrived in front of the Yang brothers.

"You two, you must be sent by the prefect, right?" Wu Guangshu looked at the Yang brothers and saw that they were both extraordinary, so he asked tentatively.

Yang Song restrained his thoughts, showed an indifferent expression, nodded lightly and said: "Yes, we are coming from Dai County. My name is Yang Song, and this is my younger brother Yang Yuan."

Yang Yuan looked at his brother's appearance from the side and secretly shook his head, knowing that his brother was imitating Chen Zhi's words and deeds.

"As expected, he was sent by the prefect. I am the leader of the city and want to thank the prefect for his great kindness! I am the citizen of the city and I want to thank the prefect!" As he said this, he actually wanted to kneel down towards the south.

Yang Song also knew the rules, so he grabbed Wu Guangshu and said with a smile: "Why should the county magistrate be so polite? All the people under Daijun are the prefects and herders, how can we abandon him?"

Wu Guangshu's eyes turned red immediately, and words of gratitude came out like a cannonball.

And the impact of this battle is gradually spreading.
