Chapter 58 Counterattack
After everyone left, Yang Yong came out of the hall and saw Yang Yong, all the guards of the East Palace were crying. Yang Yong felt relieved and waved his hand: "Okay, you are all subordinates of the East Palace. Don't follow your child's attitude. Go down to take a bath and change clothes first. The affairs of Wanrong County, and it's not your fault for others. Go down."
"After the order." Everyone got up and went to take a shower and change their clothes. After they changed their new clothes, Yang Yong had already ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet for them. These people had been hungry and full for half a month. Everyone was eating this meal. After everyone finished eating, Yang Yong was about to ask Yang Shi about the details. A guard came in: "Report, Your Highness, General Duan and General Liang are back."
"Okay, please!" Duan Da and Liang Mo reported to the rear every day. Yang Yong was already satisfied with their ability to block the rebels for several days.
After the two came in to pay homage to Yang Yong, Yang Yong asked them to stay and asked Yang Shi again. After learning that Yang Shi had only used more than 20 people to block the rebels' rebels for half a day, Yang Yong greatly praised them. Duan Da and Liang Mo also suddenly realized that no wonder the rebels marched so slowly the day before.
Yuwenxin did not enter the county town of Xunyang until the third day. Along the way, the rebels were harassed by the government troops. Yuwenxin was reluctant to send cavalry to fight with the government troops several times, but in the end he endured it. A little unbearable would cause chaos. His cavalry was prepared for the prince. With Yuwenxin's understanding of Yang Yong, it is very likely that the prince would stay in Xunyang and not leave. When he attacked Xunyang, his cavalry could be used to pursue the prince.
When Yu Wenxin arrived in Xunyang, Xunyang had already become an empty city. Facing the empty Xunyang County, the rebels were stunned. For the first time, Yu Wenxin felt that he had no confidence in the prince.
Although it was only fifty miles from Xunyang to Linjin, the extra fifty miles were a huge consumption. Yu Wenxin knew that the longer the time was delayed, the more unfavorable it was for him. He did not care about the empty city, leaving only a small number of people to guard it, and immediately rushed towards Linjin County. The official cavalry that had been harassing them did not appear again. The rebels only took a day to arrive in Linjin County.
At this time, the troops in Linjin County were as high as 10,000, and Yu Wenxin's troops were only 15,000. Facing the tall Linjin County and the densely packed official troops on the city walls, Yu Wenxin and his staff frowned. This county town is several times more difficult to attack than Xunyang, so no wonder the prince gave up Xunyang City.
The drum sound of "dong, dong, dong." It was clearly heard in the center of the city. Although Yu Wenxin was not sure, he still launched an attack immediately. He knew that he would be more dangerous if he was delayed for a day. When the government troops from all sides of the court arrived, he would never have a chance again.
Yu Wenxin was delayed on the road for four days and had no chance. In fact, from the day Yu Wenxin started the rebellion, he should have known that he had no chance. At that time, Yuchi Jiong failed to fight with the court with more than 30 prefectures and counties and 500,000 troops. What's more, he was a mere county, even if he captured Hedong County, it was only a place for two counties. The only hope was to pin it on capturing the prince.
Three days later, the shouts of killing outside the city were still loud. Yu Wenxin attacked Linjin for three consecutive days, and gained nothing except for thousands of corpses outside the city. However, Yu Wenxin still did not give up. His subsequent troops had arrived, and his troops had increased to 30,000. He was like a gambler who was frightened and bet on Linjin. All signs showed that the prince was in Linjin County.
Of course, Yang Yong was still in Linjin. He was sitting in the county yard to relax and cool off. On the table was Linjin's most famous snack Linjin Yugua. Xing'er and Yun Mei'er were accompanying him on the left and right. One of them slaps him in the cool, while the other people put the jade melon slices into Yang Yong's mouth from time to time.
Although the name of Linjin jade melon is nice, it is just a common pickled vegetable melon in various places. It is just that Linjin has special geology, and the vegetable melon produced is clean and crispy, and tender as jade. It tastes particularly sweet and delicious. The Linjin County Magistrate once had the idea of using jade melon as a tribute. However, today's emperor advocated frugality and did not look good at the local officials who gave gifts to Beijing. The Linjin County Magistrate did not dare to act rashly. Now that the prince is here, he certainly has to support this kind of small specialty.
Yang Yong ate two small bowls before he signaled that Yun Meier who was picking up the food did not need it. Yun Meier put down the chopsticks and couldn't help saying, "Young master, the sound of killing outside is shocking. You are eating melons here, right..."
"Is that right? If you can't defend a county town with ten thousand people, then the officers and soldiers will be too pus. What's the use of going up to me?" Yang Yong said with confidence.
"But, but..." Yun Meier wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.
"Silly girl, if the situation is critical, I will naturally go to the city wall to supervise the battle. But there is no need now. If I go to the city wall, it will make the officers commanding the city at the top of the city at the top of the city at the top of the city at the top of the city at the end of the city at the end of the city at the same time at the same time and have to send troops to protect the palace."
Yun Mei'er seemed to understand it, and a figure happened to come to this side. Yang Yong saw clearly that it was Lu Mulin and hurriedly asked: "Come on, Lu Aiqing, try this Linjin jade melon."
Lu Mulin shook his head: "Your Highness, I have tasted it. Now come and report good news to Your Highness. The reinforcements from Huaizhou have arrived." Lu Mulin finished speaking, his face was filled with joy.
To the west of Linjin is the Yellow River, and behind it is Puzhou. Puzhou's elite soldiers are under Liang Mo's control. Liang Shiyan is escorting to the capital. Puzhou lacks a chief official, and Yang Yong did not order Puzhou to send troops. Huaizhou and Puzhou intersect are the closest prefectures to Linjin. It is natural that Huaizhou's troops arrive first.
"Huaizhou soldiers are here, how many troops are there, and who will lead the team?"
"Go back to Your Highness, Huaizhou will send 4,000 troops, and the governor Pei Shao will personally lead the team." Hearing that the prince was in danger, the chief officials of each state would naturally not miss the opportunity to show their faces in front of the prince. I am afraid that the reinforcements led the governor would not be allowed to be the prefect.
"Pei Shao, are he a child of the Pei family in Hedong?"
"Your Highness's guess is right, Pei Shao is a child of the Pei family in Hedong."
"Very good, bring Pei Shao up." Yang Yong asked, thinking that it was dangerous, but fortunately Liang Shiyan could no longer cause any storms. Otherwise, if Puzhou rebels first, with his relationship with the Pei family in Hedong, the rebels would probably be connected. I am afraid that this trip would become someone else's turtle.
Not long after Lu Mulin left, a middle-aged man of 35 or 36 years old was brought in. This man was handsome and was wearing armor. When he saw Yang Yong, he quickly took off his armor and knelt down on the ground: "My minister, Pei Shao, the governor of Huaizhou, meets His Highness, His Highness, Thousand Years! Thousand Years!"
Generally speaking, when a minister meets the prince, he does not need to shout Qiansui! Qiansui! Qiansui! There are only some important occasions, such as sacrifices, or the birthday of the prince, and the call to the prince, Qiansui must pay a great ceremony to express his respect as a minister. This is the first time Pei Shao has to pay a great ceremony to pay a great ceremony.
Yang Yong raised his hand: "Your beloved is the first assassin to arrive. It shows your loyalty to the court. You don't have to be too polite, get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Pei Shao kowtowed three times and then stood aside with a respectful look on his face.
Pei Shao was so respectful, Yang Yong knew that he must have been influenced by Liang Shiyan, Zhang Xu and others. The prince went on a tour and had already killed a governor, and another governor was escorted to the capital. Yuwen Xin's rebellion was somewhat promoted by the prince. Pei Shao, who was also the governor, naturally did not feel negligent, for fear that he would be rude.
At present, there has not been any news of the accident between Yuan Kai, Zhang Bin, Lu Ben and Liu Fang. If the news of these people's downfall comes out, the officials will be even more in awe of the prince.
Yuwen Xin's attack on Lin Jin became more and more crazy, almost ignoring his life. Under his fierce attack, although Lin Jin City was still strong, there were more casualties. The four thousand palace soldiers brought by Pei Shao could just replace the official army with heavy casualties in the early stage.
As Huaizhou soldiers arrived, the soldiers and horses from nearby prefectures and counties also arrived one after another. Five days later, Sizhou, Liangzhou, Luozhou... In Xinzhou, the farthest, there were a total of eight states. Among them, there were 10,000 people from Yezhou alone. In the small city, the number of officials and soldiers had reached 50,000, which had formed an absolute advantage over Yuwen Xin.
Yu Wenxin was naturally clear about the changes in Linjin, but he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to. As he pulled out all the troops behind him, the officials from Bingzhou and Rongzhou had recovered the counties of Hedong County that he had occupied before. Although Shangdang County was still in his hands, it was cut off by the official army. What's more, even if he could escape to Shangdang County, the official army would still press forward to surround Shangdang County.
On this day, the rebels outside Linjin City were still attacking wildly. When the battle situation was intertwined, the gate of Linjin creaked and opened quickly. Looking at the city that had not been opened for more than ten days, the rebels outside the city were suddenly dazed and even forgot to attack the county town.
