Chapter 365: Battle Report Enters Kyoto

"Report! General Yinghe Fort Defense Officer Yang Qinyong is asking for an audience!" A scout came over to report.

"Qinyong, let him come over!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled lightly.

Soon, the scouts brought Yang Qinyong over.

"I pay my respects to the general!" Yang Qinyong said excitedly.

He is a descendant of the Yang family. He has met Yang Zhengshan a few times, but only a few times.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him and said with a smile: "Not bad, he is much stronger than before!"

Yang Qinyong is actually a representative figure among the Yang family's children. He represents those Yang family children who have not served under Yang Zhengshan.

From the time when Yang Zhengshan first formed a young team in Yangjiacun to the current Tenglong Guard, there should be more than 200 children of the Yang family who have been nourished by the spiritual spring water under Yang Zhengshan, but there are also some children of the Yang family who have never stayed under Yang Zhengshan.

Among them, Yang Qinyong is the representative.

Of course, this does not mean that Yang Qinyong has never drank Lingquan water, but they, the children of the Yang family, drink much less Lingquan water.

For example, Yang Chengze, Yang Mingwu, Yang Mingzhen and others, some of them stayed under Yang Zhengshan for two or three months, and most of them stayed under Yang Zhengshan for seven or eight years.

The group of Yang children who stayed for seven or eight years were the group in Yangming Town.

Compared with these people, Yang Qinyong undoubtedly drank much less spiritual spring water.

It can be said that Yang Qinyong's current achievements depend on his own talent and hard work.

"Hey, you made the general laugh!" Yang Qinyong scratched his head and laughed.

Yang Zhengshan patted his shoulder and smiled kindly: "Come on, tell me about Yinghe Fort! I heard that you managed Yinghe Fort well!"

"No, that's all the work of Uncle Chengze and Uncle Qi. I just benefited from them!" Yang Qinyong said modestly.

After Yang Zhengshan left Yinghe Fort, Yang Chengze took over, and after Yang Chengze left Yinghe Fort, Yang Chengzhang took over.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yinghe Fort is the territory of the Yang family.

It is precisely because Yinghe Fort has always been defended by the Yang family's children that it can ensure that the original policy left by Yang Zhengshan will continue.

Today's Yinghe Fort is still the richest fort within the jurisdiction of Jianningwei.

"Haha, I know your ability. Both the clan leader and Cheng Zhang have praised you for your calmness and thoughtfulness in handling things!" Yang Zhengshan praised.

Yang Qinyong was a little embarrassed to be praised by him, but he was still very happy.

In his opinion, being recognized by Yang Zhengshan is his greatest blessing.

"But some things can be changed, and measures should be adapted to local conditions and the times. Many of the policies I left behind at Yinghe Fort were based on the original Yinghe Fort. Today's Yinghe Fort is different from the Yinghe Fort at that time. Big difference!”

"At that time, Yinghe Fort was very poor, and the military households had problems eating. But now, not only can the military households have enough to eat, but they have also become richer one by one! So some things can be changed!"

"Don't always stick to the policies I left behind. Sometimes you can change Yinghe Fort according to your own ideas!"

"As long as you are sincerely good to the military households, the military households will support you!"

Yang Zhengshan followed the teachings of being good at teaching.

In fact, today's Yinghe Fort is not without its problems. For example, when Yang Zhengshan established the sewing workshop, military households were allowed to sew cloth shoes in order to make money to support their families. But now that the military households are rich, there is no need to let them continue to sew cloth shoes. .

But both Yang Chengzhang and Yang Qinyong still let military households sew cloth shoes.

This is obviously inappropriate.

The reason why they are unwilling to change is also very simple, because these are all left by Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan represents authority, and they dare not question Yang Zhengshan from the bottom of their hearts.

"I heard that you have expanded the size of the horse farm, which is very good. The income of the horse farm is still very high. If possible, you can raise horses on a large scale!"

“Not only can you raise horses, but you can also raise cattle and sheep!”

Yang Zhengshan continued.

That racecourse was built by Yang Zhengshan, but later Yang Zhengshan gave it to Yinghe Fort, and it was regarded as the property of the Yinghe Fort Defense Office.

The two walked one behind the other by the nameless river. Standing here, they could see Linguan Fort on the hillside.

Yang Qinyong asked Yang Zhengshan many questions, and Yang Zhengshan was willing to give him advice.

Yang Zhengshan is qualified to guide Yang Qinyong in martial arts training, fort management, and marching and fighting.

Yang Qinyong is twenty-three years old this year and has a second-level cultivation level. This kind of cultivation level is a little low in Yang Zhengshan's eyes.

Song Dashan's son Song Hao is only twenty-one years old this year, but his cultivation has already reached the acquired third level.

Lin Zhan and Wang Yunqiao are only twenty years old this year, and their cultivation levels have already reached the acquired fourth level.

Compared with them, Yang Qinyong is not even a little bit worse.

The two chatted for more than an hour, and Yang Zhengshan said again: "Go back and make arrangements for Yinghe Fort first. During this period of time, you can stay with me and be a scribe!"

Yang Qinyong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes, I'm going to make arrangements now!"

"Yeah! Don't make any mistakes!" Yang Zhengshan smiled.

Yang Qinyong nodded repeatedly and responded: "Don't worry, General, I will arrange everything in Yinghe Fort!"

He naturally wanted to seize such a rare opportunity.

As for Yinghe Fort, although the current situation in Chongshan Town is very chaotic, Yinghe Fort is very stable.

He had already moved all the military households of Linguan Fort to Yinghe Fort. Even if a war broke out in Chongshan Pass, it would not affect Yinghe Fort.

Yang Zhengshan also thought that this boy was good. He was calm and thoughtful. Although his cultivation was a little poor, he was still a rare talent.

If he dared to train with him for a period of time and be nourished by the spiritual spring water for a period of time, he would definitely become a great talent.

While Yang Zhengshan and Yang Qinyong were chatting, on the wall of Chongshan Pass, King Qing and Ji Feiyu were looking at the army camped in the town's left camp.

Looking at the orderly soldiers, Ji Feiyu's face was solemn.

"Yang Zhengshan's strength is not in how fierce he is, nor in his wisdom and strategy, but in his ability to train soldiers!"

"It seems that any army in his hands can become an extremely powerful elite soldier!"

"Back then, he trained more than a hundred refugees into elite soldiers in Linguan Fort, and he could defeat hundreds of Hu cavalry!"

"Later, he was in Yinghe Fort, with only three hundred cavalry under his command, but he annihilated nearly a thousand Hu cavalry!"

"And he was even more powerful in Anyuan City. The Anyuan City garrison camp was just an ordinary garrison camp, but in his hands for three years, more than a thousand garrisons slaughtered more than 100,000 Hu people!"

"Now he is in Tenglongwei, with six thousand elite cavalry and nearly ten thousand infantry!"

Ji Feiyu took a deep breath, "Facing such an enemy, I am not sure at all!"

Prince Qing knew that Yang Zhengshan was very powerful before, but he did not have an accurate concept of how powerful Yang Zhengshan was.

At this time, after listening to Ji Feiyu's words, he understood the horror of Yang Zhengshan.

Only a thousand garrison battalions under his command can slaughter more than 100,000 Hu people. Now Yang Zhengshan has 6,000 elite cavalry under his command. Who can defeat him?

"Don't we have any chance at all?" King Qing asked.

Ji Feiyu shook his head slightly, "Yes, this opportunity is in Chongshan Pass. Chongshan Pass has high walls to defend, and Yang Zhengshan is best at cavalry combat. If he chooses to attack, maybe we can defeat them!"

Although the troops under his command now far exceed Yang Zhengshan, he still dare not go out of the city to fight Yang Zhengshan in the field.

The Donghai Hu people have proved with blood that fighting Yang Zhengshan in the field is to seek death.

His only reliance is the tall walls of Chongshan Pass.

But he is not sure whether Yang Zhengshan will attack Chongshan Pass!

Will Yang Zhengshan attack Chongshan Pass?

Of course!

Ji Feiyu made up his mind not to fight him in the field and defend Chongshan Pass to death. He can only choose to attack!

But Yang Zhengshan's patience far exceeded Ji Feiyu's expectations.

After the army arrived at Chongshan Pass, Yang Zhengshan did not launch an attack for several days, but urged the engineering team to build siege equipment.

On June 18, the first batch of civilians organized by Pang Tang arrived at Chongshan Pass, bringing a thousand stones of food and fodder and parts of the siege equipment they had built in Qinghua Mansion before.

The first batch of civilians had more than 8,000 people. Yang Zhengshan directly recruited this group of civilians to help the engineers cut wood and stones and build siege equipment.

On June 20, Yang Zhengshan's battle report and Pang Tang's memorial arrived in Kyoto.

In the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City, a group of ministers circulated Yang Zhengshan's battle report.

After reading the battle report, Li Siyuan nodded slightly, "General Yang has already taken Songzhou City. I think it won't take long to take Chongshan Pass!"

"That's not necessarily true. Chongshan Pass has high walls and deep walls. If Ji Feiyu holds on, it will be extremely difficult to capture Chongshan Pass!" Ningguo Duke Zhou Mao felt that Li Siyuan was too optimistic and spoke.

The prince looked at the two of them and said, "Lord, Duke Ning, the situation in Liaoxi is getting more and more difficult. We need General Yang to support Liaoxi as soon as possible!"

"No! General Yang must not be transferred to Liaoxi before Chongshan Pass is captured!" Zhou Mao said without thinking.

He knew what the prince meant. The prince just wanted Yang Zhengshan to go to Liaoxi to stop the Wuliang army.

At this time, the Wuliang army had occupied most of the territory. Although the court had dispatched a lot of troops to Liaoxi, it was still difficult to stop the offensive of the Wuliang army.

The most troublesome thing is that the Wuliang Hu tribe still has more than 200,000 troops on the border line of Beiyuan Town, making it impossible for Beiyuan Town to dispatch troops to support Liaoxi.

The prince frowned, "The Wuliang army has arrived at Dongsheng Prefecture. If Dongsheng Prefecture is lost, the Wuliang army will enter the territory of Jizhou!"

"Your Highness, don't worry. The Ministry of War has dispatched 300,000 troops, and they will arrive at Dongsheng Prefecture soon!" Wang Lu, the Minister of War, stepped forward and said.

The Ministry of War has been deploying troops during this period. Although the guards of Darong are in a state of disrepair, they are still useful.

It is still possible to mobilize more guards and gather 300,000 troops.

As for the combat effectiveness, that is another matter.

Anyway, the Ministry of War is now trying its best to mobilize the troops near Jizhou.

The prince saw that Wang Lu had spoken, so he did not say anything more. If he continued to speak, it would be a denial of the work of the Ministry of War.
