The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 377
Although the results were not exactly in line with the expected results, the pocket formation that Yang Yong and Li Jing had set up was fruitful when it came to an end. In just a dozen days, the Chen Cang battle, the Panlong town ambush and the Huoshaozhai volley were all in full swing. Get a big win.Throughout this battle, Yang Yong annihilated nearly 20 soldiers and horses of Xue Renguo at a small cost of [-] soldiers and horses, and the number of prisoners exceeded [-]. Xue Renguo was devastated and fled back to Qinzhou .

Next, Yang Yong rested in Chencang for three days. During this period, there were post-war matters such as rescuing the wounded and sick, cleaning the battlefield, paying compensation to the dead soldiers, handling prisoners of war, rewarding the soldiers of the three armies, etc. Needless to say.

Three days later, the good news came again. The soldiers of Xue Ju in Wuzhangyuan mutinied. Li Xing, the great counselor, was killed and Xue Ju was captured. Surrender.After Li Jing finished dealing with the battlefield matters in Wuzhangyuan, he escorted Xue Ju and other captives to the outside of Chencang City with a large group of troops.

"My first day, my father-in-law is so awesome!" Yang Yong was so happy that he almost jumped up, and personally led the generals out of the city to pick up a few miles.As soon as they met, military advisor Li Jing brought Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Wu Tianxi and other soldiers to kneel down and salute Yang Yong. After Yang Yong helped the generals up and greeted them a few words, he brought Li Jing and others into the city.

The first thing to do after entering the city is to register the achievements of Li Jing and others, and then hold a big banquet in the city to celebrate the achievements.

The next day, Yang Yong was promoted to the commander-in-chief tent, and all the generals lined up on the hatchback.Yang Yong ordered the armored warriors to escort Xue Ju up.Not long ago, Xue Ju, whose helmet had already been knocked off with the sound of armor leaves, was tied up and brought to Yang Yong with disheveled hair.

The Iron Armored Warrior wanted to force him to kneel down, pressing and kicking him. Yang Yong hurriedly dismissed all the warriors, and looked at Xue Ju again. In just two or three months, Xue Ju changed, as if he was ten years older. The face is like yellow paper, the face is thinner several times, the cheekbones are protruding like a knife, the two hazy old eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, the mud on the face looks like it hasn't been washed in March, and it's still bruised and purple. One piece, the original tall and burly body now looks fragile and crumbling.

It is also a kind of sadness that the all-powerful overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, the king and landlord who occupies one side, has been reduced to this point!

Thinking of the kindness of the Xue family father and son to him in the past, Yang Yong felt a little pity in his heart, and the hatred in his heart had long since dissipated.Yang Yong's tone softened, and he persuaded him to surrender earnestly, and solemnly promised that as long as Xue Ju had no ambiguity, the high-ranking officials and princes and generals would not dare to say anything, but the treatment would definitely be much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, at least not to the point of Like the Li family and his sons, all local tyrants who surrendered will be executed.Li Jing also persuaded them, as did Xue Ju's former soldiers who surrendered later.

After several times of persuasion, Xue Ju finally nodded slightly with a weather-beaten face.

Yang Yong was overjoyed, he got up and left his seat, and came to Xue Ju to untie him.Xue Ju was expressionless, flexed his muscles and bones, and suddenly became rebellious, and cursed at Yang Yong: "Yang Yong, you want to covet my Western Qin regime, and use this old man as a bait to hit my son's attention. I won't let you go!" Cursing, he pushed Yang Yong away with all his strength, and slammed into the pillar with all his strength, with a bang, thousands of peach blossoms bloomed, and the dead body fell on the side of the pillar, blood splashing on the handsome hall .

Due to the sudden incident, no one expected Xue Ju to be able to play this style, and the generals including Yang Yong were astonished.

Yang Yong sighed secretly, this old man really has a personality, his temper is concealed and violent, why bother, it is better to live than to die.Lao Tzu is different from the Li family father and son. He always counts his words. As long as you submit to Lao Tzu, the previous grievances will be wiped out, and Lao Tzu will never treat you badly. Those without virtue and incompetence lose it, this is the rule.If you don't take Xiqin Laozi, is it cheaper for the Li family and his son?What's the use of resisting with your death?Stopping the car with the arm of the mantis, not knowing the current affairs!
After Yang Yong sighed, at this moment, the armored warrior came in and carried Xue Ju's body down, and wiped off the blood with water and a rag.Considering that Xue Ju was also a hero of the generation, Yang Yong sent an order to find a treasured place in Chen Cang to bury Xue Ju generously.

After these matters were dealt with, Tan Ma came in and knelt down to report: "The report and the prince learned that Li Yuan sent his daughter and son-in-law to lead a hundred thousand soldiers. There are more than a dozen states and counties including Tongzhou, Jincheng, etc., and the two sides will face off in Dingxi."

"My first day, this Li Yuan's hands are really black!" Yang Yong was amazed, and hurriedly called all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

The result of the discussion is that the fruits of our victory are hard-won, and the Li family and his son must not be taken advantage of!
Yang Yong then divided his troops and sent generals, and asked the general Shan Xiongxin to lead [-] troops to guard Chencang. This is the west gate of Shaanxi, and there must be no problems.General Wu Tianxi was asked to lead [-] troops to Tongguan to reinforce the garrison, of course to defend Li Yuan's troops.Because when Yang Yong's troops were fighting Xue Ju's army, Li Yuan's general Li Shentong took the opportunity to send troops from Bingzhou to the south, started Yang Yong's troops, and took Linfen and Hedong counties back.Therefore, Tongguan is still the forefront of defending Li Yuan's troops.

Then, Yang Yong ordered his military division Li Jing to be the West Route Army, led Pei Xingyan to raise [-] troops, and marched southward to capture Longnan, Hanzhong, and Bazhong; the young generals Su Dingfang and Qin Qiong were the East Route Army. Ankang in the direction sent troops to attack the prefectures and counties west and south of Yichang; Yang Yong led Luo Shixin and four beautiful wives to send [-] soldiers to the south as the Central Route Army to attack Mianyang, Deyang and other places.

The army of the Three Routes set out from Chencang and attacked the prefectures and counties along the way. It was like breaking through a bamboo, and it was like entering a no-man's land. It took only more than two months for the troops of the Three Routes to successfully join forces in Berkshire (today's Chongqing).

By the end of 611, Yang Yong's men had completely occupied the entire Bashu area, including today's Sichuan and Chongqing, as well as vast areas such as southern Shaanxi, western Hubei, and northern Guizhou.

The rapid expansion of Yang Yong's power made Xiao Mian, a powerful local entrenched in the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, obviously feel the pressure. Xiao Mian massively stationed troops in Zhaotong to confront Yang Yong's troops.

In order to avoid making too many enemies, after discussing with Li Jing, Yang Yong and Li Jing sent envoys to make peace with Xiao Mian. The two sides also signed a friendly agreement, and the atmosphere on both sides eased down.

After pacifying Xiao Xian in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Yongteng mobilized an army of [-] to go northward, preparing to capture Longnan and Tianshui and other places.Unexpectedly, when Yang Yong's army arrived in Bazhong, Qinzhou changed its flag, Xue Renguo surrendered to Li Xiuning, and the prefectures including Tianshui and Longnan had all belonged to Li's father and son.And at this time, it was not far from the New Year's Eve, the weather was bad, it was often snowing, and it was freezing cold, so it was not suitable for marching and fighting.

Yang Yong calculated that the war has been going on for two years, and the common people are suffering unspeakably. In the final analysis, the war is about people and money, and it is time for the soldiers and the people to recuperate.Therefore, the young general Su Dingfang was asked to lead [-] troops to guard Guangyuan, the general Qin Qiong was asked to lead [-] troops to garrison Bajun, and the general Pei Xingyan was asked to lead [-] troops to garrison Hanzhong, and then Yang Yong returned to Daxing with the main force to recuperate.

This rest lasted for three years, and the hour hand pointed to the beginning of spring in 615 AD.At this time, the local political situation was reshuffled, and the separatists and tyrants introduced new ones, and at this moment, Yang Yong's most powerful opponent appeared!
