Chapter seven hundred and twentieth Yang Guang can't wait

"Master, take a nap!" The old servant who had been with Yang Su all his life whispered to him.

"How can I sleep in the current situation!" Gao Ying sighed quietly and said quietly, but at this time, his face still maintained a confident look of being unfazed.

At this moment, someone outside the door exclaimed: "What is that? It's a fire. There's a fire on the mountain!"

Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, the door was slammed open, and a guard shouted: "Mr. Gao, there is a fire on Gaobi Ridge, and the flames are soaring into the sky!"

Gao Ying's face changed drastically, and his usual calmness and confidence had long disappeared without a trace. He ran to the courtyard and saw that the fire on Gaobi Ridge was indeed soaring into the sky. From a distance, the fire was more than ten miles away. Judging from the direction, it was not

A fire broke out in the camp of his main army on the mountain. What else could it be? Gao Ying felt as if he had stepped on the air, and his heart plummeted into the abyss.

"It's over, it's all over." Gao Ying stared blankly at Gaobiling, his face pale, and murmured to himself. At this time, another guard rushed in and said loudly: "Gong Gao, the scouts sent intelligence and discovered that Yang Su's main force

, only seven miles away from us."

Gao Ying jumped up in shock and shouted: "Quick! Send an order to the entire army to prepare for battle."

"Gao Gong, Yang Su's army did not attack at night, they have stopped advancing."

Gao Ying felt a little relieved. He walked back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back, trying to calm himself down. He finally realized that he was only a civil official after all, not a military general. He was not as good as Yang Su in such matters as fighting.

What should he do now?

He has no hope of the army on Gaobi Ridge. Even if most of them escape, he won't be able to feed him. He doesn't have so much food and grass, unless the Wang family of Taiyuan can fully support him, but how is that possible in the current situation? That old fox Wang Long

They will definitely not fully support him. Besides, Yang Su's main force is behind them, and the army on the mountain will not be able to escape much.

No, he must retreat. He must retreat to Taiyuan City first and rely on the solid walls of Taiyuan City for defense. Yang Liang has been operating in Taiyuan City for nearly ten years. He should be able to hold it. Yang Guang has just ascended the throne, the court is not stable, and various powerful families have

He had ulterior motives. If he stayed in Taiyuan for a long time, variables might arise, and he would then look for opportunities to turn defeat into victory.

With this thought in mind, Gao Ying gritted his teeth and immediately ordered: "Send an order to the three armies to withdraw to Taiyuan City."





On Gaobi Ridge, the five thousand elite soldiers sent by Yang Su discovered that the rebels' defenses were lax, and the mountainous area was narrow. The tents were densely packed, one next to the other, and the wind was extremely strong. This was simply to cooperate with their planned fire attack.

The camp was specially set up this way.

According to the original plan, Yang Su's main force would feint to attack Zhouping County, forcing Gao Ying to ask for help from the army on Gaobi Ridge, and then use five thousand elite troops to ambush and rescue the rebels in Zhouping County. However, at this time, he did not need to ambush and directly set fire to the camp.

The fire burned rapidly, and the raging flames were swept to the west of the mountain by the wind. Red flames flew from tent to tent, forming a sea of ​​​​fire for more than ten miles. The entire Gaobi Mountains seemed to be engulfed in fire.

Inside the camp, one hundred thousand rebels cried for their fathers and mothers. In the raging fire, they trampled each other, screamed and scrambled for their lives. Outside the camp, five thousand Sui troops came out, cutting off the rebels' escape route and killing them directly.

Heads were rolling, dead bodies were piled up, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and burnt odor.





An hour later, the raging fire had engulfed the entire Gaobi Ridge. Of the 100,000 rebels in Gaobi Ridge, only less than 50,000 escaped. The other more than 50,000 people were killed, burned to death, smoked to death, and killed each other. The entire Gaobi Ridge

Dead bodies piled up on the top of the mountain, the smell was pungent, and it was like a hell. This sneak attack was also the deadliest battle in the entire battle to pacify Bingzhou. It was already comparable to the battle between King Junlin of Yongzhou and the Western Turks three years ago that burned water springs.

Comparable to Guan.

When the victory news of this battle reached Daxing City in Kyoto, the specific situation was also sent to Yang Guang by Yang Guang's confidants in the army. Overjoyed, Yang Guang's eyes flashed and he said casually: "Of course Yang Taipu has an exhaustive plan for this battle."

, but I’m afraid it was a bit too cruel. I remember that three years ago Wang Junlin burned Shuiquan Pass, and many people in the court did not count Wang Junlin’s credit for that battle on the grounds that it was too cruel and hurt Tianhe!”

What Yang Guang said was soon spread out of the palace by people who were interested, and was known by some courtiers who had a grudge against Yang Su or were good at guessing the emperor's intentions. The battle to suppress the rebellion in Bingzhou was not over yet, and the Sui court had already

Undercurrent surges.

"Is the emperor already so impatient?" The turmoil in the court also reached the ears of Yang Su who was marching to Taiyuan City on the front line at the first time. Yang Su's face was ugly. He knew that Yang Guang was wary of him.

, and he is indeed suspected of overshadowing his master, and the power of the Hongnong Yang family has grown too rapidly in recent years, and is no longer weaker than the established families of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames, and his disciples and disciples in the military and court

There were too many close subordinates. But he didn't expect Yang Guang to be so impatient. Isn't he afraid that he would directly rebel and become the second Gao Ying?

Yang Su's face changed, and finally he sighed. He really couldn't be the second Gao Ying, at least not yet. Let's not talk about the army of the Northern Expedition to Bingzhou. Yang Guang had many confidants in the army. If he

If you really want to rebel, even if you succeed, you will still need an internal fight. In the end, it will be good to have half of your troops left. The most important thing is that their Hongnong Yang family is different from Gao Ying. Their Yang family's stall is too big.

If he dares to rebel, Yang Guang will definitely kill all the tens of thousands of members of his Yang family without hesitation.

In addition, there is another main reason - Wang Junlin is still hiding in Bingzhou.

In the past three years, Yang Su had tried his best to deal with Wang Junlin, but failed to take advantage every time. This made him extremely afraid of Wang Junlin, and Yang Su was even more afraid of Wang Junlin than he was of the seven old families and five surnames.

Dugu, the fear of the Guanlong nobles headed by the Yuan family. In Yang Su's view, no matter what he wants to do, he must first kill Wang Junlin. Because, he has a vague feeling that Wang Junlin will definitely appear and do something bad at the critical moment.

His big deal.

"Have you not found Wang Junlin yet?" Yang Su asked with a calm face.

A man in black robes behind him immediately replied: "Replying to the master, Wang Junlin has not been found yet. Moreover, some of the information found before was later proven to be a conspiracy sent by Wang Junlin. General Li Jing also came from Youzhou.

The secret letter can guarantee that Wang Junlin has never gone to Youzhou, so I guess that Wang Junlin is still in Bingzhou."

Yang Su's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he thought for a moment, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint himself, handed it to the man in black robe, and said: "Take this secret letter with you and go there in person.

See Yang Yichen and give him the letter. He will dispatch an army of 10,000 confidants to cooperate with you in searching for traces of Wang Junlin. Once found, tell me immediately with a flying eagle, and I will immediately send an army to surround and kill him under the pretext of wiping out the remnants of Bingzhou.

"

"I understand the humble position." The man in black robe agreed, turned around and left quickly.
