On this day, Qin Wenyuan led five thousand cavalry out of Longcheng and marched towards Yuguan. After arriving at the Yuguan military camp, he met You Qiguo, the infantry commander of the Qin family army stationed here. The two of them put forward their own opinions on the prevention of the pass. Qin Wenyuan told General Qian
Don't be careless, no matter whether it is a foreign army or not, you are not allowed to break through the border at will.
You Qiguo was an old soldier who followed Qin Changqing. If Qin Changqing hadn't wanted to come to the Northeast to see his son's career and the veteran himself, how could he have gotten such a job at his age?
He had great respect for the veteran general Qin Wenyuan, especially because he was good at defense and was exactly the general Qin Wenyuan needed, so he gave him the defense of the most important pass in Pingzhou and stationed 10,000 infantrymen there.
After a short rest, Qin Wenyuan led his army out of Yuguan Road and headed straight for the border of Yingzhou...
Qin Wenyuan left the political affairs of the "Pingzhou" area completely to Sima Yuntian. Then he began to plan how to win the military defense and political power of "Yingzhou" and "Songmo" cities, and form a "Pingzhou" and "Yingzhou" city.
The defense posture of the three places "Zhouzhou" and "Songmo" are leaning against each other. This area inside and outside the Great Wall became the base area of western Liaoning and vigorously developed the economy, which improved the people's livelihood in this area and gradually formed a stable situation towards Liaodong.
develop.
The spring breeze in May blew gently on both sides of the Liaohe River with a warm breath. Finally, I saw a little bit of vitality in the snow that had not completely melted. Spring is here, and I hope it is a good start.
Thousands of cavalry left "Yuguan" and galloped towards "Yingzhou". The sound of horse hooves trembled on the winding road, adding a strong vitality to this silent wilderness.
The dazzling sun hangs high in the sky, and the golden sunshine touches the sparse green on the withered earth. The yellow, green, and red trees in the mountains and forests already have a different kind of scenery. Occasionally, you can see a few grazing animals.
People and a few cattle, sheep, and horses walked through the forest or basked in the sun on the grass.
Qin Wenyuan slowed down his horse to appreciate the scenery outside the pass. He felt something in his heart for a moment. He couldn't help but sing loudly when he recalled the historical descriptions of this area he had learned in his previous life.
"At the time of the Qin Dynasty, there was a bright moon and at the time of the Han Dynasty, the people who marched thousands of miles away have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains."
For this frontier fortress poem that would be written by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling decades later, Qin Wenyuan recited it at this time without caring whether it was appropriate or inappropriate. He just expressed his feelings. He longed to compare himself to Li Guang.
The flying general will first control western Liaoning in his own hands, and then fly through eastern Liaoning to accomplish what he wants.
Qin Wenyuan actually didn't realize that there was a warlike factor in his blood. Perhaps it was his profession as a soldier in his previous life that gave him such a personality. Which soldier doesn't want to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions, and he is no different. Since God
Giving him rebirth in such an environment may mean that he will grow up in bloody battles...
"Report!"
Qin Wenyuan was awakened by the protracted voice of the former army scout, and soon he saw a sergeant jumping off the back of a galloping horse. His horse-controlling posture was extremely wonderful.
"Report to General! Thousands of Tang troops were found ten miles ahead, moving in the direction of our army. They seem to be surrounded."
After hearing the scout's report, Qin Wenyuan ordered Zhao Meng and Wu Ping to each lead two thousand cavalry to advance on the left and right wings. He himself led hundreds of personal guards and one thousand cavalry for the Chinese army to head on to find the main force of the Tang army. The distribution was completed and each was ready to fight.
Be prepared to not take the troops appearing in this area lightly, whether they are Tang troops or foreign troops.
"Explore again!"
After Zhao Meng and Wu Ping led their troops to leave, Qin Wenyuan shouted to the scouts.
Less than an hour later, several scouts reported that they were less than five miles away from the Tang army ahead. Qin Wenyuan ordered the scouts to pass the news to Zhao Meng and Wu Ping respectively, and ordered them to prepare for battle. Don't be careless in the slightest.
After scattering a thousand cavalry, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from ahead. Qin Wenyuan ordered the snipers in the bodyguard to find favorable terrain to hide, waiting for orders to snipe the leading generals, while the rest of the bodyguards looked for bunkers and prepared for battle.
Qin Wenyuan led Zhou Cang and several generals to stand on the slope and wait for the army ahead.
Dust and smoke filled the air, flags fluttered, and thousands of Tang troops galloped over the mountains and plains like wild geese. When the line of sight between the two sides was completely clear and they could see each other, several members of the Tang army were surrounded by a man wearing a green robe, black armor, and a bright silver helmet.
A middle-aged general, the general holds a black iron spear with red tassels in his hand. He has a deep knife mark on his face and his eye-catching tiger eyes. He seems to have experienced a lot of battles.
However, the general raised his spear and ordered the Tang army to stay on guard, and led several generals to slowly walk towards the Xu family's camp.
Qin Wenyuan led Zhou Cang and several generals to greet him. The two generals were several meters apart and reined in their horses to look at each other. After a while, the general wielding the spear shouted loudly.
"Across the way is Mr. Qin, the new governor of Pingzhou?"
"It's Qin. I wonder what the general calls him?"
"A certain family is the governor of Yingzhou, and Zhao Wenxuan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, is also the governor! I don't know why Mr. Xu led his army into Yingzhou. Could it be that he also wants to attack my Jingsai Army?"
"What the general said is wrong! Qin is the governor of Pingzhou and has been ordered to control the military and political affairs in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. When he first came here, he naturally had to go to the state capitals to understand the military, political and people's conditions. Is it possible that the general also wants to learn from the heroic military army to resist the decree?"
This is a bit suspicious of using tiger skin as a banner. The imperial decree did not specify that Qin Wenyuan controlled the military and political affairs in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. It only asked him to manage the affairs in eastern Liaoning. But it depends on how people interpret it. If he insists on saying this, it seems
It makes sense. After all, in addition to having strong military support to manage Liaodong, how could western Liaoning not be under control?
How did Zhao Wenxuanyuan know that Li Shimin had said in the imperial court that he would not give Qin Wenyuan any help when he was in Yingzhou, Liaoxi? Now when he heard what Qin Wenyuan said, he was speechless. Only the last words of "resistance" made him feel very harsh.
, continued angrily.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There is no problem for the general to go to various places to inspect the military, political and people's conditions, but Zhao doesn't know what Lord Qin wants to do with his army?"
"There are uncertain dangers everywhere outside the pass. Qin encountered rebels when he entered Lulong City. General Zhao must know about this. If Qin does not control the armed forces, he may not even be able to enter Pingzhou.
How can we talk about controlling military affairs in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning?"
When the two of them talked about this, one of the Tang army generals rode in front of Zhao Wenxuan from the guard formation and whispered something. Zhao Wenxuan's face changed slightly, and then he calmly said to Qin Wenyuan again.
"What Mr. Qin said is reasonable. How about Zhao going to Yingzhou with Mr. Qin?"
Then Zhao Wenxuan ordered his cavalry to return to camp, the horns sounded, and the front troops of the Jingsai Army turned around and the rear troops retreated in an orderly manner. It can be seen that Zhao Wenxuan led the army well, and his military discipline was much stricter than that of the Xiongwu Army.
The full strength of the Jingsai Army is less than 10,000. The number of soldiers and horses brought out this time seems to be 5,000. This shows how wary they are of the Xu Family Army. Just now, General Zhao Wenxuan reported that the two wings of the Xu Family Army are already wary of his own army.
To counter the encirclement, Xu's army still faced nearly a thousand cavalry, and hundreds of elite soldiers dismounted and hid in the cover of trees, rocks, and grass for unknown reasons. Faced with such a threatening army, Zhao Wenxuan was not completely sure.
How dare you risk breaking up with Xu Tian here?
Seeing that the Jingsai Army was withdrawing from the attack, Qin Wenyuan ordered the army to assemble. When a long bugle sound was heard, first snipers hidden in the woods in camouflage uniforms rode out, and then they heard
The sound of horse hooves from all sides was rapid, indicating that a large group of cavalry was approaching. After a while, the personal guards who were hidden by the bunker took out their horses from nowhere and mounted them one after another, still maintaining the battle formation and galloping slowly.
Zhao Wenxuan was already a man who was good at leading troops, but he was shocked by the formation of the Qin family army. Thinking carefully about how his men fought with this army, they had already lost a lot in terms of momentum. The Qin family army cavalry was already elite, and these hundreds of sergeants
They are the best among the best. How can the Jingsai Army defeat such an opponent?
"The Xiongwu Army did not lose unjustly!"
When Zhao Wenxuan thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
The Qin army continued to advance toward Yingzhou in the formation of guarding the central army on both wings. In front of the cavalry, Qin Wenyuan and Zhao Wenxuan marched side by side, followed by dozens of generals from both armies.
Qin Wenyuan and Zhao Wenxuan chatted softly along the way and learned that this guy was from Henan. He was originally a guerrilla general under the command of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. After the Sui army failed to conquer Goryeo, he led a thousand remnant troops to Liaocheng and was awarded the title of Liu by the Sui Emperor.
The captain of Pinliao City was stationed at the front line of Yingzhou. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed. Most of the remaining soldiers of the Sui army formed a group and wanted to occupy Liaocheng.
The east had to deal with Goryeo, and the west had to deal with Tang Dynasty. Its lack of living space would inevitably lead to its demise. Wouldn't it be better to surrender to the Tang army and gain wealth? So he killed several generals who swore not to surrender and led his troops to surrender.
In the Tang Dynasty, the fourth rank of Yingzhou Governor was awarded and Pinglu Jiedushi was appointed to command the military and political affairs of Yingzhou.
Speaking of this, this guy is already a ruthless person. He has never been like Xiao Yi since he was appointed in Yingzhou. He feels that Xiao Yi is just relying on the power of his family to get some seniority in the army. After hearing that Xiao Yi was beheaded by Xu Tian
, this guy secretly admired Qin Wenyuan. In fact, the two of them had one thing in common, that is, they were not afraid of the powerful families and the noble forces in the court.
Qin Wenyuan and Zhao Wenxuan talked about some military and political matters and the experience of leading the army while walking on the horse. Zhao Wenxuan admired Qin Wenyuan's military and political insights and extensive knowledge, especially when it came to people's livelihood and business matters.
Understand this guy's vision.
There is a saying from ancient times: A thousand cups of wine is too little when you meet a close friend, but half a sentence is too much if you don’t speculate!
Zhao Wenxuan felt as if he had met Qin Wenyuan too late, so he became more and more respectful on the way. When he arrived at the gate of Yingzhou City, Zhao Wenxuan was a little embarrassed to say anything to Qin Wenyuan.
"Zhao heard that Mr. Qin is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and his martial arts are even more impressive. I wonder if Mr. Qin can compete with Zhao. This is Zhao's unreasonable wish, and I hope Mr. Qin will make it happen!"
Hearing Zhao Wenxuan hesitate and say this, Qin Wenyuan laughed loudly.
"General Zhao, you are so polite. What's wrong with such a trivial matter? Qin respects the heroes of the world. The general will not hesitate to give you advice, which is exactly what he wants."
After saying this, the two of them got into a stance in the open space under the Yingzhou City Tower. After greeting each other, they started fighting each other.
Zhao Wenxuan raised a spear on his horse and charged towards Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan reined in his horse and held the "painting pole square Tianji" with one arm straight up. Seeing the fierceness of the opponent's approach, he clapped his horse to fight.
But I saw the spear and the halberd intersecting, and there was a muffled sound and sparks were wiped out.
Zhao Wenxuan was in pain from the tiger's mouth and secretly commented that Qin Wenyuan had great arm strength, but he did not know that the "painted halberd" in Qin Wenyuan's hand was an ancient magic weapon. After recognizing its owner, it became as flexible as the owner's arm. Others held it weighing more than a thousand kilograms. Qin Wenyuan
The hand is like an arm.
The two fought for nearly a hundred rounds, and Qin Wenyuan also secretly thought that Zhao Wenxuan was very good immediately. If he didn't want to test how powerful this guy was, he would have defeated him as soon as he showed his flaws.
At this time, Zhao Wenxuan was already a little exhausted. Seeing Qin Wenyuan getting more and more fierce as he fought, he couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart. For a moment, he felt strong and used both hands to stab the enemy with a spear, which was the most proud move of his life.
However, the halberd in Qin Wenyuan's hand was flawless, and the halberd was heavy and heavy. Seeing that Zhao Wenxuan was unable to carry out the stabbing with the spear, Qin Wenyuan laughed and stepped aside, grabbing the shaft of the spear with one hand and dragging it with all his strength.
Pull Zhao Wenxuan off his horse.
The generals of the two armies watching cheered with thunderous cheers, and the Qin army was even more proud, admiring the young commander who had never let them down.
Qin Wenyuan jumped off his horse and returned the spear to Zhao Wenxuan. Zhao Wenxuan took the spear and spoke to Xu Tian.
"Zhao admires your martial arts and character! I admire you very much in my heart. I wonder if I can become a brother with a different surname."
Hearing Zhao Wenxuan's sincere words, Qin Wenyuan was overjoyed for a moment. He did not expect that his trip to Yingzhou would bring such great rewards. Being sworn brothers with different surnames from Zhao Wenxuan, who was still a bloodthirsty man, would undoubtedly add more power to Qin Wenyuan's back.
It will be a huge help to the entire western and eastern Liaoning.
"Brother Zhao, you're welcome, Qin is asking for it!"
Zhao Wenxuan was overjoyed when he heard what Qin Wenyuan said, so he ordered the guards in the army to quickly get sacrificial objects and arrange incense eucalyptus to warn heaven and earth.
But Zhao Wenxuan pulled Qin Wenyuan to his knees and said loudly.
"By the heavens, today I, Zhao Wenxuan, and Xu Tian are brothers with different surnames. Wenxuan is older and is called his elder brother by his elder brother. However, my brother Xu Tian has great talents in the world and will surely become the prime minister one day and become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty.
Wen Xuan will do his best to protect his brothers from now on. We do not want to be born in the same year and the same month, but we can die in the same year and the same month. If Wen Xuan violates this oath, he will be killed on the ground and die without a burial place!"
After Zhao Wenxuan finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan also held up the incense candle and said.
"By the heavens, today Qin Wenyuan and Zhao Wenxuan are brothers with different surnames. Qin Wenyuan is the younger brother. If he becomes a general or prime minister in the future, he will share the wealth and honor with his brother. We don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but we can die in the same year and the same month. Qin Wenyuan is like
If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and you will die without a burial place!"
After the ceremony, the two brothers helped each other up and laughed "haha" at the same time!
In fact, Qin Wenyuan was somewhat opposed to the sentence in the oath: "I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I can die in the same year and the same month!" It would be a big deal to think that he would die with this man who is more than ten years older than him at such a young age.
It's not cost-effective. However, when I think about it carefully, the meaning of "but I can die in the same year and the same month" is uncertain. I am relieved for a moment. This is also why the ancients don't have the philanthropy of Qin Wenyuan, a person with a soul from a previous life. Seeing that Qin Wenyuan and
He had also sworn an oath to treat Qin Wenyuan as his biological brother.
