Chapter 1162 The Battle

Zhuozhou a hundred miles away.

After several days of conquest, the catapults continued to bomb Zhuozhou and surrendered, and Zhao Kuangyin's hometown finally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Zhuozhou is adjacent to Jumahe, which is also a must-pass place for Yizhou to go north to Youzhou. Now, it has finally been taken.

Guo Jin looked at the messy city wall, couldn't help but put away the knife in his hand, and slowly took down a flag, and smiled and said, "We have not disappointed the expectations of the court in three days to conquer Zhuozhou!"

Then, his eyes looked to the northeast, where it was the location of Youzhou. He made up his mind to show his charm outside Youzhou City.

"Hurry up and clean up. It's not a big deal to stay in Zhuozhou City. You have to go to Youzhou to see this world-class city."

For decades, civil and military officials and generals in the Central Plains have always wanted to recover Youyun, especially the people in Hebei, who are looking forward to the rain.

Without Youzhou, Hebei is flat, and Khitan cavalry travels more conveniently than home.

Naturally, the merits of regaining Yan Yun were enough to spread the world, but unfortunately, this merit was personally led by the emperor.

But as long as you can participate, it is enough to glorify half of your body. If you leave your name in history, no one can eliminate this temptation.

Just as Guo Jin rushed to Youzhou in a hurry, nearly 30,000 people gathered in Yanmen Guanzhong.

As the commander-in-chief of Anbei, Li Jixun gathered all the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Prefecture at Yanmen Pass and commanded all the troops with Yang Ye.

Sitting in the main seat, Li Jixun looked at the generals and schoolmen who gathered together, turned his head to look at Yang Ye. Seeing the latter's calm face, he couldn't help but be ambitious and excited and said:

"Everyone, you have to raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and leads the brothers of the Imperial Camp to the north to Youzhou and seize the prefectures and counties that were usurped by the Khitans, just for the sake of the golden cup."

"But don't forget that the 16 prefectures of Youyun that were cedeed are not only Youzhou above Hebei, but also our Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and Yunzhou. If these prefectures and counties are not taken back, Shanxi Prefecture will never be peaceful."

Seeing that everyone's faces gradually became solemn, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "This is the opportunity to make achievements. How can the brothers in the imperial camp be dedicated to their beauty?"

"Swear to recover the loss to the death and defeat the Khitans!"

As soon as they heard that they wanted to compare with the imperial camp, everyone immediately responded and shouted in unison with high morale.

It has been ten years since the founding of the country, and the gap between the central imperial camp and the local army has become very obvious. For example, in terms of salary, the imperial camp earns 800 yuan a month, while the local army only has 500 yuan. Of course, the patrol inspection (300) is not considered an army.

In this way, coupled with the different jurisdictions, the two naturally cannot be harmonious, and the struggle will not be enough, but it is true that they dislike each other.

When it was proposed that compared with the Imperial Camp, although everyone knew it was a provocation method, they still benefited.

"Okay!" Li Jixun looked at everyone. The strong soldiers and horses were strong. Taibanren and others came out of the martial arts lecture hall. The war was organized, which made him quite happy. Then he ordered:

"This time our army has 30,000 people, including 10,000 cavalry, and only one target, that is Datong."

"Before Datong, there were Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and Yong'an Army Zhe Yuxun, who would be responsible for the nearby Shuozhou. Huanzhou, the troops were divided into two, leaving Hugu Pass, going to Huanzhou, leaving Yanmen Pass, besieging Yingzhou, and then joining Datong with the same team."

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Yang Ye and asked, "Personal Yang, what are the additions?"

"The general said it very well, and there is nothing else to say in the end." Yang Ye said helplessly.

He couldn't do such a thing in the face in public, and he didn't dare to offend his immediate boss.

"Then, Master Yang, would you like to go to Huanzhou?" Li Jixun asked softly, his face full of expectations.

"It's all right!" Yang Ye was not that particular. Although Huanzhou was a bit far away, he didn't care what he was doing as long as there was a war.

"But, the governor, where is Jingnan Army?"

"The army is quiet?" Li Jixun thought for a while before whispering softly: "I guess I will gather in Datong. Dangxiang people have been presumptuous once. I think they will not consider the consequences again."

"Yes!" Yang Ye responded, then began to allocate manpower, food and supplies, and began to prepare to attack the city and capture the village.

Others were not worth it for him, especially those like Dang Jin, who were even more yelling. After following Yang Ye for a long time, the more he admired him, he couldn't help but say: "The governor was in Yanmen Pass for many days. Logically speaking, he should go out of Yanmen to Yingzhou. How could he go to Huanzhou farther away?"

"He is afraid that you will win the credit first."

Faced with the likelihood of the party, Yang Ye couldn't help but chuckled: "The governor is taking care of me. Yingzhou is even more cautious and guarded by Yanmen. It is much more difficult than Huanzhou, but Huanzhou is much easier."

After hearing this explanation, the schools began to calm down and no longer argue.

Yang Ye smiled slightly, then shook his head again. Li Jixun's actions are understandable. Who is not selfish?

However, although Huanzhou is far away, it is not just farther than Yanmen, but farther from Datong. To put it bluntly, the two of them started to compete for who came to Datong earlier, and they were just starting to fall a little behind.

In this way, compared to internal strife, it is really much better.

The troops led by the army went to Huanzhou. Faced with the sudden Tang people, the Han soldiers and generals in the city were frightened, and the Khitan soldiers knew that it was Yang Ye, and they were even more frightened.

The defeat of Taer in one battle made Yang Ye famous. He was well-known on the grassland and was afraid of it. Huanzhou City even tended to collapse without fighting.

As a result, Yang Ye led a large army to attack for several days. The five thousand soldiers and horses in the city directly chose to surrender under the leadership of the Han generals.

This is not embarrassing. The Tang Dynasty came to Tang, and the Liao Dynasty came to Liao, and the border counties were all helpless.

Shortly after conquering Huanzhou, Yang Ye met Zhe Yuxun who came from afar and the Yong'an army with 10,000 people.

Zhe Yuxun respectfully paid homage to his brother-in-law. His status and seniority forced him to surrender and be obedient.

"Shilong, have you taken Shuozhou?" Yang Ye couldn't help asking, looking at his brother-in-law who was gradually becoming majestic.

"Brother-in-law, Shuozhou is not prepared, and there are only two or three thousand people. As soon as the cavalry rushed, they opened the city and surrendered. It's nothing!"

Zhe Yuxun shook his head and said indifferently, then looked at Yang Ye with anticipation and asked, "Brother-in-law, what exactly is the Khitan people? I'm afraid I can see you after you this time."

"The Khitans are bold and meticulous, and they are good at riding and shooting, but as long as they are better than him and are less afraid of death, the Khitans will be timid and will have a chance at this time."

Yang Ye shook his head and said the weakness of the Khitans.
