Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

Outside Guanshan Pass.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and admired his masterpiece.

This is really a masterpiece, a masterpiece that takes advantage of the right time, place and people.

The so-called weather naturally refers to the northwest wind at the transition between autumn and winter.

The so-called geographical advantage is naturally the Guanshan Pass and the Wuming Valley. Neither Guanshan Pass nor the Wuming Valley is considered a natural hazard. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find geographical advantages here.

But the northwest wind combined with this long and narrow valley perfectly blended the right time and location.

In this case, all it takes is one fire to turn the entire valley into a sea of ​​flames.

As for Hehe, the soldiers in Chongshan Town who are willing to obey his orders are the best Hehe.

Even when they did not understand, Niu Zhuang, Tang Feihu and others did not question his orders and actively carried out his orders.

It is precisely with these three necessary conditions that tonight's fire can be achieved.

The raging flames rolled and rose, illuminating the entire world.

On the hillside and at the mountain pass, the soldiers looked at the blazing fire, with expressions of shock and palpitation.

The wind was roaring, the fire was burning, and there were faint howls.

This hell-like scene horrified many people.

But after being frightened, more eyes turned to Yang Zhengshan, with fiery admiration and awe in their eyes.

Even Niuzhuang and Tang Feihu were no exception.

They also looked at Yang Zhengshan with reverence.

I think back then, when Yang Zhengshan first arrived in Chongshan Town, Tang Feihu was already a guerrilla general in Zhenbiao Camp. More than ten years later, Tang Feihu was only promoted from a guerrilla general to a staff general, while Yang Zhengshan rose from a small trial to a hundred The household became the general soldier.

Tang Feihu recognized Yang Zhengshan's ability. After all, Yang Zhengshan had won consecutive battles in Chongshan Town before, but to say how much he respected Yang Zhengshan, it was obviously not much.

But now, he felt a little more in awe of Yang Zhengshan.

As the fire intensified, Yang Zhengshan said, "It's almost done. Let the soldiers return to camp and rest."

"Don't you need to keep an eye here?" Tang Feihu asked.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said: "It is enough to have soldiers on duty!"

There are soldiers on duty inside and outside the camp, and there are scouts looking around. There is no need to arrange special manpower to keep an eye on it.

As for the fire in the valley, it is estimated that it will take a day and a night.

You must know that there are not only tens of thousands of Wuliang's Huqi in Wuliang's camp, but also supplies that Wuliang's army looted from western Liaoning.

There were thousands of carts of supplies, many of which were grain and grass. With so much grain and grass burning, we didn’t know when it would be extinguished.

Yang Zhengshan explained a few words and went back to the camp to sleep.

He had hardly slept these past few days. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and to prevent the Uliang army from breaking through the pass, he almost always guarded the pass.

Now that his plan had succeeded, it was time for a good night's sleep.

As for the Uliang army, there were forbidden troops blocking it in the south and fire blocking it in the north. They couldn't pursue it even if they wanted to.

So they have nothing to do tonight, they just need to sleep peacefully.

Yang Zhengshan slept peacefully until dawn.

By the time he walked out of the camp, the flames in the valley had extinguished a lot, and the soldiers had already tried to enter the valley to search.

"Greetings, general!" Seeing Yang Zhengshan coming out, Xie Yuan quickly ran forward and clasped his fists in greeting.

"Well, how is the situation?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Xie Yuan chuckled and said: "The Uliang army has been defeated, and we have won a great victory!"

Yang Zhengshan walked towards the mountain pass and asked as he walked: "Have you sent anyone to contact the Forbidden Army?"

"It has been dispatched, but now we have to detour a hundred miles to the north of Xiling City. We will definitely not receive a reply for a while!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

"General, should we enter the mountains and forests to search for the remnants of Wu Liang's army?" Xie Yuan asked.

Although it is not clear how many Hu Qi were burned to death in this fire, nor how many Hu Qi were intercepted and killed by the Forbidden Army in the south, there must have been many Uliang Hu Qi who fled into the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley.

Yang Zhengshan came to Guanshan Pass, looked at the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley, and shook his head, "No need!"

"The terrain in the mountains and forests is complex. We don't have any advantage when entering it. There is no need to risk the lives of soldiers for hundreds of thousands of horsemen!"

"However, my subordinates feel that little Prince Wutuo may have escaped into the mountains and forests!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Finding Wu Tuo now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so forget it!"

Utto ran away, he was not interested in Utto.

If tens of thousands of Wuliang troops can be left behind, this battle can be regarded as a complete meritorious service. There is no need to pursue Wutuo.

"Yes, I understand!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Go and prepare. Deploy 5,000 soldiers from Tenglong Guard. After the fire in the valley is extinguished, you can immediately take these 5,000 soldiers to Daning City."

"Da Ning City!" Xie Yuan was startled.

"Well, the situation on the West Road is a bit complicated. It is not easy to smooth it out. After occupying Daning City, don't be too anxious and stabilize the situation first!"

"When the other roads in Chongshan Town settle down, I will help you rebuild the West Road in Chongshan Town!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I would like to thank you, General, for your support."

Yang Zhengshan's words were very clear, that is, he wanted to appoint him as the lieutenant general of Daning Guard in the west of Chongshan Town.

"Haha, go and prepare!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Wuliang's army has been destroyed, and the next step is to enter the final stage.

As the general of Chongshan Town, he naturally has to make plans for the future of Chongshan Town.

The problems of other routes are not big, but the west of Chongshan Town is a big trouble.

Ji Feiyu and Cui Liang have been operating in the west of Chongshan Town for many years, and their influence on the west of Chongshan Town is very profound.

Moreover, the west of Chongshan Town suffered heavy casualties this time. The tens of thousands of people and military households in Guining City and the 20,000 soldiers under Cui Liang's command, such a large number of casualties, also had a great impact on the west of Chongshan Town.

If you want to reorganize the west of Chongshan Town, it will definitely take a lot of time and energy.

However, these are all things for the future. For now, let Xie Yuan go to Daning City to stabilize the situation. As long as Daning City can be stabilized, the rest can be adjusted slowly.

Near noon, Yang Zhengshan received a reply from the imperial army.

After a night of fighting in Li, Liang Chu led the imperial army to kill more than 38,000 enemies and captured more than 18,000 prisoners.

Most of the prisoners were soldiers from the West Road Reinforcement Camp of Chongshan Town, that is, Cui Liang's subordinates.

The imperial army won a great victory in this battle.

Facing a group of panicked Hu cavalry, the well-equipped imperial army showed super combat effectiveness and stopped all the enemies fleeing south.

Although the imperial army had an absolute advantage in this battle, it also proved the strength of the imperial army.
