The Northern Han State was slightly shorter than the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Guo Wei entered Tokyo, the Liu family became emperor in Jinyang. However, the years of Jinyang City were too long. In addition, this building complex as an imperial palace was not built by the Northern Han State. They had no money and all their only national strength was used for military purposes.

The old and mottled walls in the palace, even the bricks and stones on the floor, were broken, and they were repaired with some corner stones. The color of the entire house was gray and black.

Only some silk fabrics and decorations add a bit of brightness, and the clothes on the king Liu Jun were more decent. Liu Jun walked around the warm pavilion, and the Sikong minister Guo Yuan, general Yang Ye and Feng Jinke outside the door were all bent down and stood there. They could not look up and look around or look at Liu Jun, but could only see the black figure on the broken brick floor shaking, and the shadow's hands were carried for a while and rubbed in front.

The Emperor of Zhou led the army personally! Liu Jun was frightened at this time and felt that Zhou was going to make a lot of money this year. The ministers also judged this way that the Northern Han Kingdom should have become the main target of the Zhou Dynasty.

Liu Jun suddenly felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted that under the opportunity of Er Li's rebellion, he did not do his best to deal with the turbulent Zhou Dynasty at that time. Maybe it might not be possible at that time, but at least he had fought for it... Today he truly realized that in the world where the strong prey on the weak, the only way to protect himself is to let the enemy perish. This is true for people. No matter how many reasons others say, if they say a hundred times, it will be useless if they don't understand it.

In the past, he did not want to make progress because he had neither confidence nor motivation. After the Battle of Gaoping, Chai Rong of Zhou led his troops to surround Jinyang for more than a month, and Liu Jun personally felt that it was difficult to defeat the Zhou army; in addition, he did not have a son, so he just wanted to protect himself. But now he found that protecting himself was not easy.

At this moment, he walked out the door and said, "The Han army must retreat without fighting. We must send a large army to fight against the Zhou army and try to repel the invaders outside Jinyang!"

Guo Yuan bowed and said, "The enemy soldiers are coming in a fierce manner, and I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will not have enough troops."

Liu Jun said seriously: "Since ancient times, there are not necessarily people on the battlefield, so whoever wins will definitely win. Otherwise, the number of people will be divided into the winning or losing. Why fight again?"

After hearing this, several ministers couldn't answer.

Liu Jun immediately ordered Yang Ye to be the head coach and Feng Jinke to be the deputy head coach, and sent another military supervisor to mobilize the elite troops of the guards to go south to resist the enemy.

... Yang Ye led the order to walk out of the palace city, and couldn't help but stop and look at the surrounding scene. The sight of an ancient city was the blue sky, but the ground was earthy and yellow. The tall city towers and the mountains below were shining. (At this time, Jinyang was not in the Taiyuan urban area, but was south of Taiyuan, south of Jinyang Lake, and backing the west side.)

This is "Dragon City", because many emperors made their fortunes here after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of this city is incomparable to the big cities in the Central Plains, but in Yang Ye's opinion it is also a densely populated city... Compared with Linzhou where he was born, it is really a vast place to display.

Yang Ye's thoughts seemed to return to his hometown of Linzhou, where he grew up, a small border town near the Great Wall. There were loess gullies, yellow sand was everywhere, and the surrounding population was sparse. He was from a low birthplace, and his father was the governor of Linzhou, but he wanted to go out of that place since he was a child, looking forward to a bigger world. Longcheng Jinyang was the place of his dream, and when he was young, he went to Jinyang to join the Northern Han Lord; his outstanding military achievements allowed him to occupy his foothold in Jinyang and won the trust of the Northern Han Emperor.

Yang Ye calmed down and immediately went home to say goodbye to his wife and concubines, preparing to lead his army to the war.

The one who is most reluctant to leave his children is Hongying, the concubine Hongying, who has the shortest time with him. Hongying is tearful and her eyes are as reluctant to leave her as if she is separated from her life and death.

Yang Ye said kindly: "I am a military general, and it is my duty to go to war, so you don't need to worry."

Hongying wiped her tears with silk, and choked and said, "The people from Northern Han have defected to the Khitan, and they are not good people at all. You don't have to work too hard, you must have a dividend yourself..."

After hearing this, Yang Ye was stunned, but after a moment, he remembered that Hongying had been harmed by the Khitans, so it was understandable that such a statement was made, so he didn't think much about it.

A woman understands that collusion with the Liao Kingdom is not a big deal, so how can Yang Ye not understand? Not only Yang Ye, I am afraid that the rulers and most of the Han people have no good feelings for the Liao Kingdom, but how can the Northern Han confront the Central Committee without relying on the Liao Kingdom?

"We are not the same as Liao Kingdom. This is the exchange between countries. I can't explain it clearly in one sentence." Yang Ye comforted.

The red oriole blossoms with pear blossoms, and said gently: "With the reputation and ability of the husband, no matter who he votes for, he will be valued."

Yang Ye snorted, no longer wanting to say more to a woman.

This woman is so light, can she vote at will? Can a capable person like Zhao Kuangyin get important in the Northern Han Kingdom? Yang Ye was able to hold the position of a general of the Northern Han Kingdom, not only because he was good at fighting, but also because he was young and followed the founding emperor of the Northern Han Kingdom.

From the perspective of righteousness, of course, the Northern Han Congress was criticized. No one would think that it was a combination of righteousness with foreign races and enemies. After all, the Northern Han Dynasty was not a Liao Kingdom... Compared with righteousness, Yang Ye felt that personal loyalty to the monarch was more important to the world. No matter which monarch it was, the first thing he saw was probably not whether one person knew the righteousness or not, but whether loyalty was reliable. Now, if Yang Ye immediately "abandoned the dark and turned to the light", he felt that it was not a good thing.

...

Before the Northern Han Army went on war, Guo Shao had already learned that the Northern Han Army was going to come out to fight was Yang Ye.

He handed over the paper in his hand to Jingniang for safekeeping, looked back at the military generals and ministers around him and said, "As soon as we enter the Northern Han border, there will be a war. The person we will deal with in the first battle is Yang Ye."

Wang Pu immediately said: "This person has a great reputation and is known as 'Yang Wudi'."

Li Chuyun smiled and said, "A few years ago, the Northern Han Dynasty had a famous number one fierce general, Zhang Yuanhui, who was shot to death by an arrow from the official family. Today, Yang Wudi came again, which happened to start a war and sacrifice to the Great Zhou army!"

Guo Shao did not comment, but he had extra attention to Yang Ye... because of the Yang family generals! Although Yang Ye was not very famous at this time and was known as invincible, he was just because he could fight. In this war-torn world, there were more military generals who could fight, and Yang Ye was probably not as famous as later generations.

The image left by the Yang family generals to Guo Shao mainly comes from film and television, and they are the heroes of the anti-Liao of the Song Dynasty. No matter what, Guo Shao did not want to kill Yang Ye at all. In his impression... Even those who were as alert and afraid of martial artists in Song Taizong could accept Yang Ye, why couldn't he do it?

"Continue to go north with Shi Yanchao as the forward. When you meet Yang Ye, you will set up a decisive battle head-on!" Guo Shao said.

He looked up and saw that the people and horses in the valley were walking along the winding valley road like black mountain torrents.

At this time, Zhang Guanghan's troops, originally stationed in Liaozhou, had already joined the main force of Guo Shao's army, with a total force of more than 50,000. They are now marching near the Northern Han border. They are surrounded by continuous gullies and layers of loess low mountains, roughly hundreds of miles south of Jinyang; they are probably located between Taiyue Mountain and the eastern section of Taihang Mountain, and should belong to the remnant of Taiyue Mountain. This mountainous area is continuous, but in comparison, it is not so steep and steep.

The road is not easy to walk, and the best way to walk is the road along the Fen River west of Taiyue Mountain. However, Guo Shao's elite soldiers chose the Qinlu Plateau because the road was relatively close and wanted to advance to Jinyang as soon as possible. The road was taken by the army along a dry river valley. It was the route that the late emperor won the victory in the Gaoping Battle and attacked Jinyang. Guo Shao walked through it... So he knew that the water source of this road was also reliable. A team of tens of thousands of people marched. If there was no water source on the road, it would be a big problem.

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps were everywhere, and the team was crawling slowly. Guo Shao rode his horse and talked to the people around him from time to time. On the road, riding a frame was not as easy as riding a horse.

The natural conditions in this mountain are worse than those in the Central Plains. The wind is sandy and very dry. The scene is apart from gullies and valleys. Moreover, the vegetation seems to be declining at this time. Anyway, in February, there are still large areas of exposed loess on the mountain, with only sparse shrubs and wormwood. Sometimes, you can see flowering trees on the side of the mountain to feel the breath of spring. Often, the soldiers turn around and wait and see.

I did not encounter any resistance along the way, and it was like this after walking for several days. Until one day I walked to a big lake, Guo Shao recalled that the mountainous area had reached its end.

In the afternoon, Guo Shao passed through the lakeside along the road along the lakeside, and the front suddenly became clear.

However, the terrain is still not a plain. There are hillsides with ravines on the east side, and flat land in front and west. The land is dry and rarely planted crops. From a distance, Guo Shao remembered the things like Thousand Layer Cake, because the earth looks layer by layer. You have to go north to reach the plain area in southern Jinyang.

The Northern Han Army is defending. After Yang Ye leaves Jinyang, he should wait for work in a relatively close place, and may be not far apart.

Guo Shao asked the generals from the scout camp to ask, but he still did not find the large number of Northern Han Army. That night, someone sent to the vanguard to send an order, and ordered the officials in the military office to write military orders: "Ask Shi Yanchao to send more cavalry in front, first find out the place of the Northern Han Army, and then do not advance rashly. Our army came from afar, and was exhausted, so he chose a place to station and repair it first, and wait for the follow-up army to follow up."

Guo Shao had some confusion. Shi Yanchao was quite abide by the rules and military orders in the battle formation, but he was really not a calm person. Moreover, this guy was harder to control than Lin Renzhao. Lin Renzhao at least listened to Liu Renzhan. Shi Yanchao didn't listen to anyone, and only the emperor could use him.
