Chapter 105 Determination
Three floating bridges were raised on the Yellow River, and a large group of people crossed the river through the floating bridge. They were the army of the Bingzhou General Office of the Sui State. Except for wearing strong and sharp legs, everyone wore white burqa.
The general manager of Bingzhou, King Yang Guang of Jin, was wearing white horse and standing on the floating bridge on the west bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the army in front of him, he wanted to take this army back to Chang'an to take revenge.
After the establishment of the Sui Kingdom, considering that the Zhou Kingdom weakened the royal family too much, Yang Jian let the royal family take charge of military power and appointed several of his sons as kings to go out to the towns everywhere. This was really the case to avoid being beaten up in one go.
"Your Highness, the King of Qin has sent troops to obey Your Highness's orders."
"What else did the King of Qin say?"
"There is only the word 'revenge'."
After hearing what the chief general of Bingzhou, Yu Qing, said, Yang Guang's mind was like his younger brother Yang Jun. His original worries dissipated, and endless sadness followed.
Their parents and brothers died, and their enemies were still in Chang'an. As sons and younger brothers, how can they live in this world if they don't get this revenge?
More than a month ago, the Zhou army broke through Wuguan Road and attacked Chang'an under the instigation of Inner Response. The news came and the whole country was shocked.
Most of the royal family were trapped in Chang'an, with only the King of Jin Yang Guang, King of Qin Yang Jun, and King of Shu Yang Xiu escaped. When the bad news came to Jinyang, Yang Guang almost didn't believe his ears.
My parents and brother died? This must be a rumor made by Zhou Guo!
If you don’t believe it, no matter how you believe it, news from all sides came one after another, confirming the fact that Chang’an fell. Therefore, the choice placed in front of Yang Guang was cruel: Should you stay in Jinyang, or rush back to Chang’an immediately?
The General Administration of Bingzhou of the Sui State was on the west side of Taihang Mountain. Now the Sui army in Bingzhou is fighting with the Zhou army on the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain for the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountain. At the same time, guarding against the Turks on the grasslands in the north. If Yang Guang wants to return to Chang'an, he will inevitably take away some of the troops, which will cause hidden dangers.
If Bingzhou is lost, the northeastern barrier in Guanzhong disappears instantly and the defense line retreats directly to the Yellow River, then the defense pressure will increase a lot.
But if you don’t go back to Chang'an, everything will be over.
If Yu Gong and Zhou army take Chang'an and don't repel it quickly, the people of Sui will be in a mess and then collapse in a complete way. If Yu privately does not rush back, it will not be his turn to the imperial throne.
The Zhou army entrenched in Chang'an is single and the strength of the surrounding officials is definitely not bad. The reason why Chang'an has not yet been recovered is that the generals are waiting and waiting for someone to "take the decision".
Who else can decide? Normally, only Yang Guang and his two younger brothers are there.
Crown Prince Yang Yong died. Yang Guang, the second son of the legitimate son, should have ascended the throne in a legitimate manner. However, if his younger brother first went outside Chang'an and integrated various official troops to recover Chang'an, if the situation was achieved, then it would not be his turn to sit on the imperial throne.
Not to mention that if any general successfully ordered these Sui army to recover Chang'an and expel Zhou army, the three brothers Yang Guang would probably have to be puppets with their military power and reputation.
Weighing the pros and cons, Bingzhou is not as important as Chang'an. After Yang Guang received the news, he wanted to set off to Chang'an immediately, but it took some time to mobilize the army.
If you don't lead the troops, you will never dare to speak loudly when facing the generals who don't know what they are thinking. If you are tied up and presented to the Zhou army, that would be called unjust, let alone if the King of Qin disregards his brotherhood...
King Yang Guang of Jin was in charge of Jinyang of Bingzhou, and King Yang Jun of Qin was in charge of Luozhou. If the distance was determined, Yang Jun's journey back to Chang'an was shorter, but he could not walk away. Once Luozhou fell unexpectedly, losing Luoyang was the second, and the Sui army in Yuzhou would be over.
The army that can be fought is gone. Even if the situation is stabilized, how can we defend the army in Tongguan and Puban without sufficient troops?
The Zhou State had no Hedong and Luozhou at that time, and it relied on Tongguan and Puban to withstand the offensive of Qi State, and it relied on the army that could fight. Moreover, at that time, there were Jingxiang, Shannan and Wuguan in his hands.
If Luozhou is lost, the Zhou army will approach Tongguan and Puban, and there will be a colander on Wuguan. How can the Zhou army defend Guanzhong under the pressure? If it cannot defend Guanzhong, it will be finished sooner or later retreat to Yizhou.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After receiving the news of the accident in Chang'an, his third brother, Yang Jun, sent a letter to him to rectify his troops and rush back to Chang'an to take revenge. Yang Jun knew the overall situation and took charge of Luoyang without moving.
Now we have sent troops to help. Although the number of people is a little smaller, our attitude is already very obvious: brothers are united, and Yang Jun agreed that only Yang Guang will follow the lead.
If the situation in Luozhou is stable, Yang Guangjue can concentrate on Chang'an. He feels that if he does a good job, he can cut off the retreat of Zhou Jun...
I must peel off your skin and remove your bones!
Although Yang Guang did not lead the troops to fight in person, Yu Qing, the chief general of Bingzhou, was experienced. With him, Yang Guang felt that he would be able to expel the Zhou army and recover Chang'an.
"Shi Yu, after the army crosses the river, should we go to Chang'an to go to the north or south?"
"The south road, you need to cross the Wei River south to the north of Chang'an. It's okay, but I don't know if any of the generals outside the city have an affair with the Zhou army. You must be wary of the destruction of the crossing bridge, which will delay the fighter plane. Besides... Isn't the king trying to keep the Zhou army in Guanzhong?"
Of course, Yang Guang thought, but it was a big deal and couldn't help but look back. There was only one army in his hands. It's easy to say if he won, but once he lost, it would be completely over.
So there must be no problem.
He had made up his mind to regain Chang'an and work hard to govern the Sui State as he was like his father, so that the world could see that Yang Guang was an outstanding emperor!
Yu Qing was not as worried as Yang Guang. After fighting for so many years, he saw the current situation very clearly. The Zhou army in Shannan entered Guanzhong through the Wuguan Road, but in fact, it was just a lonely army that had no support. As long as it was properly dealt with, there was no problem driving him out of Chang'an.
The emperor, it is indeed surprising that the queen died, but it is still time to recover it. It is not a delusion to regain Chang'an and block the Wuguan Road.
He and Gao Ying, Yang Xiong, Su Wei have a high position and are known as the "Four Nobles". Now Gao Ying, Yang Xiong, died in the battle. Su Wei, who was trapped in Chang'an, cannot become a big deal even if he was not killed. When the young King of Jin ascended the throne and became emperor, he would be inferior to tens of thousands of people.
It is the best time to display your talents!
The current situation is both a challenge and an opportunity for Yu Qingze. He has made up his mind to drive the Zhou army into pieces in one battle.
The Zhou army that invaded Chang'an was commander of the Duke of Qi Yuwen Liang, and as an insider Liang Shiyan and others, there were some people in the army, but it was hard to cook without rice, and the opponent's troops were still not abundant.
There are much more Sui troops that can be mobilized in Guanzhong. No matter what the generals thought before, King Yang Guang of Jin came with the Bingzhou army who is good at fighting, and he had to put away any thoughts.
