During the first southern invasion, Heqin led his troops to Yongqiu, Tongxu, Zhongmou and other places, but the time was short; during the second southern invasion, Heqin led his troops to follow Wu Chi from Cangwei
When he went south, he mainly fought in Qingqi and other places on the eastern front. It was not until Wuchi became the governor of Songzhou that Heqin had the opportunity to lead his troops to Songzhou southeast of Bianliang to station and rest.
However, his understanding of Bianliang and Hehuai counties is very limited.
This time, as a vanguard general, he led more than 500 cavalry to Bianliang. However, he encountered the scouts sent by Xiao Qian near Zhuxianyi and learned that Xiao Qian was in Zhongmou.
The crowd of cavalry came to Zhongmou first to meet Xiao Qian.
He Qin had seen the terrain near Zhuxianyi early this morning and felt that what Xiao Qian said was very reasonable. He nodded and praised: "I will immediately send my horse to Yongqiu to report to General Wuchi to facilitate this matter!"
"Thieves are rampant on both sides of the Cai River. Messengers traveling to and from Yongqiu will be delayed for at least a day..."
Yang Qingshan frowned and said.
Although Yang Qingshan only led a battalion of Xiongzhou soldiers and horses to garrison Jundu Village, this was mainly because he did not expect that the Yuma Lake Racecourse would be attacked by a powerful enemy. As a descendant of the Yang family, he was responsible for overseeing three to four thousand good horses.
, the actual status of the Xiongzhou Army is not low.
The messenger Yang Jingchen sent before was almost half-life kicked by Xiao Qian in anger. Although he was resentful and had nothing to do, he was unwilling to come forward to deal with Xiao Qian and other Yunzhou generals again.
At this time, only Yang Qingshan can speak on behalf of the Xiongzhou Army.
In any case, Yang Qingshan never wanted to see Xu Huai calmly lead his troops back to Tongbai Mountain after sneaking into Bianliang and killing Yang Congzong, Ba Ge and other generals.
In that case, even if most of the blame can be placed on Yue Hailou's subordinate Chenzhou Army, the Xiongzhou Army will inevitably become a laughing stock.
Looking at He Qin's attitude now, it is obvious that he was persuaded by Xiao Qian, but the problem is that if the two armies wait to obtain Wu Chi's consent before the two armies officially set off to Zhuxianyi, it will be delayed for at least more than a day.
By then, the Chushan army, which was advancing and retreating like the wind, might have passed through Zhuxian Post and moved south.
The Chushan Army raided Bianliang. Their elite strength may have been limited, with only two or three thousand men. However, after entering the South Outer City of Bianliang from Nanxun Gate, they successively attacked Changtai Bridge, Guangli Gate, Baekje Gate, Longjin Bridge and other key points.
The place is very determined.
After entering Bianliang City, I immediately collected the boats from the South Outer City.
Yesterday, Xu Huai personally led three to four hundred elite assault cavalry to stand in front of the ancient crossing of the Cai River. Could it be that his purpose was just to kill Xiao Heng, rather than severely damaging the vigor of the Yunzhou cavalry, so that he could attack the military capital without any distractions and ensure that
Did the war horses in Jundu Village fall into their hands?
All signs indicate that after the Chushan Army entered Bianliang City, they were also carefully considering their evacuation.
Based on the calculations of Xu Huai and everyone in Chushan, how could they fail to see the importance of Zhu Xianyi?
Yang Qingshan suspected that Chushan might already be planning to send troops to attack Zhuxianyi...

"Ta-ta!"
As soon as Yang Qingshan raised his worries, he saw a dozen cavalrymen galloping along the south bank of the Cai River to the city. They reported that there were more than 2,000 bandits early this morning. The troops were divided into land and water routes, leaving Bianliang City and running along the new canal of the Cai River.
Zhu Xianyi left; more than a hundred of his cavalrymen had already arrived in front of Zhu Xianyi's military stronghold and drove away dozens of nearby Yunzhou scouts. There were signs that they would attack Zhu Xianyi's military stronghold next.
"Who is the guard of Zhuxianyi?" Upon hearing this news, Xiao Qian was also shocked and looked at Yang Qingshan in astonishment and asked.
"It should be a descended general from Bianliang, a member of the imperial city's concubine, Yuhou Zhao Zhang, commanding the envoy and leading his troops to garrison at Zhuxianyi."
When Bianliang fell, a total of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses surrendered, and eventually 45,000 surrendered soldiers were incorporated into the Imperial City Division for use.
There are always more than 200 Bianliang generals above the battalion commander level, and Yang Qingshan does not know them all. However, the outer city and the outer city of Bianliang are divided into eight areas, which are occupied by eight Bianliang generals including Zhao Zhang.
Yang Qingshan still knew that the envoys were in charge of the marriage affairs, and Yuhou was responsible for garrisoning the marriage affairs.
"I'm afraid we need to send troops to Zhuxianyi immediately, otherwise something will happen if we wait too long..." Yao Chengxiao said with a frown.
The military capital village is also used for raising military horses. It covers a very large area, even wider than the average state city. Therefore, it is difficult for Yang Qingshan to defend it with only five to six hundred direct soldiers and horses.
The Zhuxianyi military stronghold did not surround the entire town of Zhuxianyi. It was only three to four hundred paces square. Of course, it was much easier to defend, but it was difficult to place high hopes on the resistance will of the Bianliang troops.
Yao Chengxiao could not imagine that without external interference, the Zhuxianyi military camp could hold on for a day.
"Chushan soldiers and horses | stormed the Jundu stronghold. Someone in the stronghold set fire to create chaos at the same time - will they have the same arrangement in the Zhuxianyi military stronghold?" He Qin frowned and asked worriedly.
"Chushan sneaked into Bianliang and prepared secretly for two to three months or even longer. We do not rule out the possibility of deploying people to Zhuxianyi, but there should be no problem with the generals and most of the soldiers!" Yao Chengxiao said firmly, "Yang Junhou, you
What do you think?"
Chushan soldiers and horses abandoned their boats and landed at Zhuxianyi. They did not rush to attack Zhuxianyi's military stronghold, but rushed to Bianliang first. In Yao Chengxiao's view, there was no problem in this.
Chushan wanted to ensure the suddenness of the attack on Bianliang. It was impossible to waste time at Zhuxianyi at the beginning of the attack.
In addition, the Zhengzhou Jiedu Envoy Office also accepted part of the Bianliang surrendered troops, and Yao Chengxiao understood quite well the mentality of the Bianliang surrendered troops.
To put it bluntly, for hundreds of years, the Southern Dynasties used culture to control military affairs and use culture to govern military affairs. The status of the middle and lower-level generals and soldiers in the Forbidden Army was extremely low, and their treatment was extremely embarrassing. As a result, most people had no loyalty to the Southern Dynasties. Otherwise, the Red Husbands would invade the south.
It was impossible for it to go so smoothly, let alone to capture the entire Bianliang City almost without a single blow.
Another thing is that Yao Chengxiao believed that after Yang Jingchen took charge of the Imperial City Division, he should have other means of controlling the Bianliang generals.
"..." Seeing Yao Chengxiao looking over, Yang Qingshan nodded and said, "The Imperial City Division has secretly deployed some personnel in various departments and Bianliang surrender troops. At this time, there is nothing."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Abnormal, there should be no problem."
Yang Qingshan didn't know the specific list of lurking secret rooms in the Imperial City Division, but as a core disciple of the Yang family, he still knew some control methods.
He believed that Chushan might have deployed manpower at Zhuxianyi, but if there was an overall problem with the Zhuxianyi defenders, there should be a warning in the secret room planted by the Imperial City Division.
Yao Chengxiao said: "After Xu Huai invaded Bianliang, he recruited the old members of the Jingsheng Army from the surrendered troops of Bianliang with great fanfare. We all know about this, but except for some low-level soldiers who were bewitched by him, at least there has not been any appearance in the outer city of Bianliang.
A large group of troops defected to Chushan - I thought Zhuxianyi's defender would not have a big problem at this time, but if Chushan and Yanling, thousands of thieves from Weishi and other places surrounded Zhuxianyi, and there were no reinforcements from the outside.
Go, I can't guarantee whether the general of Zhuxian Station will always be fine."
"General He Qin, can you control the Yunzhou cavalry's rush to support Zhuxianyi and prevent the rebel army from launching an offensive calmly?" Xiao Qian stared at He Qin and asked with bright eyes.
After Xiao Heng's death, although Xiao Qian appointed his nephew Xiao Xuan to temporarily lead the Yunzhou Cavalry, Xiao Xuan was also appointed as the Du Yuhou in Zhengzhou Jiedu Envoy Office and was awarded the title of Qianhu, and his status was obviously higher than that of He Qin, an upright and eight-class official.
Chi Hu Su Wei General Qian Hu is just a step behind.
In addition, after Xiao Heng died in battle yesterday, Yunzhou cavalry was obviously timid and wary. Xiao Qian still hoped that He Qin's 400 to 500 elite cavalry near Zhuxianyi could play a greater role.
"I followed General Heqin to Zhuxianyi, and I only listened to General Heqin's orders in everything." Yang Qingshan said resolutely.
Yang Qingshan was unwilling to accept that Jundu Village fell so easily last night.
"There are other important tasks that require Yang Junhou to go personally." Xiao Qian said.
"What's the matter? Please give Xiao Shuai some instructions!" Yang Qingshan saluted Xiao Qian.
"We also ask Yang Junhou to rush to Bianliang immediately, try every means to meet with Yang Shuai, and ask him to send troops from the inner city of Bianliang!" Xiao Qian said in a deep voice.
Regardless of Bianliang's surrender, Yang Jingchen still had tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, but he only dared to defend the inner city and watched Chushan's troops and thousands of thieves rampage inside and outside Bianliang City. Xiao Qian felt very dissatisfied and even resentful.
of.
Of course, he still hopes that Yang Jingchen can decisively fight out of Bianliang City. Of course, he is trying his best to suppress his inner dissatisfaction and speak as politely as possible.
He Qin, Yao Chengxiao, Xiao Xuan and others all looked towards Yang Qingshan.
Based on what has been clearly investigated so far, Chushan's troops lurking in Bianliang are not weak, but they are not as strong as imagined. They have been defeated repeatedly in the past, and they were more likely to be caught off guard.
Seriously speaking, apart from the tragic deaths of Yang Congzong, Ba Ge, and Xiao Heng in the battle, the actual losses they suffered were quite limited.
In fact, after Xiao Qian led the Zhengzhou reinforcements and thousands of elite cavalry led by Wu Chi successfully reunited, as long as Yang Jingchen led the Xiongzhou army to fight out from Bianliang City in time, there would definitely be a chance to encircle and annihilate the Chushan army that was sneaking into Bianliang.
