Chapter 1166: Death of Yang Ye (Part 1)
Hetao, Zhenbeiguan.
Wearing a broken suit of armor, Yang Ye stood at the gate and looked down at the enemy troops below the city, his eyes full of exhaustion and solemnity.
Half a month ago, Yang Ye was fighting wits and courage with Murong Ke in Ningxia County, but half a month later he came back to guard Zhenbeiguan. Naturally, a lot of things happened.
Yang Ye left 20,000 troops at Zhenbeiguan, plus the city defense layout and numerous city defense equipment. He thought that with these, Liulang could hold on for at least two months even if he faced an army of 200,000 yuan.
Yang Ye thought he paid enough attention to Temujin, but he still underestimated Temujin after all.
Who was Temujin?
Even if the defense line deployed by Yang Ye really didn't have any flaws, he could still forcefully break it out with his own methods. What's more, Yang Ye's arrangement was not without loopholes.
If Yang Ye personally guards Zhenbeiguan, Temujin may not have a chance to break through, but Yang Liulang is still too young compared to Yang Ye.
At the beginning, Yang Liulang, who commanded 94, could barely keep up with Temujin, who commanded 101, with the help of the danger of Xiongguan.
But after a long time, Temujin continued to attack, and finally discovered the loopholes in Yang Ye's arrangement. At this time, Yang Liulang was naturally not his opponent.
So, in just one month, Zhenbeiguan was already in emergency.
Yang Ye, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with Murong Ke in Ningxia, was shocked when he learned the news about Zhenbeiguan. He then decisively decided to divide his troops to support Zhenbeiguan, but Murong Ke led his troops to entangle him and refused to give Yang Ye anything. Opportunity to leave.
At this time, Yang Ye finally understood that while he was holding Murong Ke back from going north, Murong Ke was also holding him back from supporting Zhenbeiguan.
The battle at Zhenbeiguan cannot be delayed, and Yang Ye can't delay it for even a moment, but Murong Ke sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster, making Yang Ye unable to support Zhenbeiguan with peace of mind.
At this critical moment, Wen Tianxiang, the prefect of Ningxia, stepped forward and led the army as a civil servant to stop Murong Ke, creating a precious gap for Yang Ye to rescue Zhenbeiguan.
Wen Tianxiang used the strategy of Hu to control Hu and recruited 10,000 Hu cavalry among the Hu people, so that the force in Yang Ye's hands greatly exceeded that of Murong Ke. This was the biggest reason why Yang Ye repeatedly had the upper hand in the contests with Murong Ke.
Now, although Yang Ye wants to support Zhenbeiguan, he does not take many troops with him. He hands most of his troops to Wen Tianxiang and leaves Erlang, who has a basic force of 99, to help Wen Tianxiang. However, he himself only leads five troops. Qian Jingqi and Shilang Wulang Qilang went to rescue Zhenbeiguan.
As an all-round talent, Wen Tianxiang’s five dimensions are naturally extremely comprehensive, with four of them reaching 90 and three exceeding 95.
【Wen Tianxiang: Commander 96, Force 69, Intelligence 94, Politics 97, Charisma 98】
VS
[Murong Ke: Commander 99, Force 93, Intelligence 94, Politics 93, Charm 99]
Except for politics and intelligence, Wen Tianxiang was weaker than Murong Ke, but with superior military strength and good rapport, he was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Murong Ke.
On the other hand, after Yang Ye returned to Zhenbeiguan, although he still had more than 10,000 troops, the rhythm of the city defense had been completely disrupted, and he was on the verge of being broken.
Yang Liulang knelt down heavily and apologized with great shame: "The father is handsome, but the child is incompetent."
Yang Ye sighed and said: "I underestimated Temujin."
After that, Yang Ye personally took over the command and made timely defense changes, but the situation still did not improve.
Temujin's general trend has been established, and even if Yang Ye personally directs it, it will be difficult to reverse the decline. At this moment, after Murong Ke used his calculations against Wen Tianxiang, he immediately led his troops towards Beiguan of Yinshan Town. When Wen Tianxiang reacted, he could no longer catch up with Murong Ke.
Just to resist Temujin, Yang Ye was exhausted mentally and physically. Now Murong Ke was about to kill him from behind, which made Yang Ye even more worried.
After pondering for several days with no results, Yang Ye also realized that Zhenbeiguan might not be able to be defended. This also meant that hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were about to go south, and Yang Ye would become a sinner for the ages.
The more desperate a person is, the more amazing wisdom they can burst out.
Seeing that Zhenbeiguan was about to fall, Yang Ye decisively ordered Wulang and Liulang to take away most of the cavalry and return to Yinshan County for emergency army expansion to prevent Murong Ke from attacking the major counties in Yinshan.
Subsequently, Yang Ye summoned Shilang and Qilang. He handed a letter and a scroll to Qilang, and said with great solemnity: "Old Qi, these two things are more important than the lives of our family."
Qi Lang was immediately startled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Father, what is this? It's so important."
“This is about the lives of millions of people in the Hetao.”
Yang Ye stared at Qi Lang seriously and said: "Old Qi, Murong Ke will definitely not let you leave easily, so you still need to take a thousand Qingqi with you.
Remember, you must personally hand them over to Wang Meng as soon as possible. If you cannot complete this task, then you should never return to the Yang family. "
Qi Lang realized the seriousness of the problem, took it, put it in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "No."
After Yang Qilang left, Yang Ye walked up to the anxious Silang and knelt down.
Seeing this, Shiro was shocked and turned pale. He quickly helped him and asked, "Father, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Yang Ye refused to get up, and said with a face: "Fourth brother, as a father, I have to give you a heavy burden. Only you can complete this burden, but you can't bear it.
This task will ruin your life, but for the millions of people in Hetao, I have to do it, so I kneel down in advance to ask for your forgiveness. "
Among the brothers in the Yang family, Shiro's intelligence is only lower than that of Liuro. When he saw that his father had been so abnormal recently and seemed to be explaining his funeral, he knew that something big was going to happen, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. .
“Father, no matter what the reason is, my child cannot bear your kneeling.”
Yang Silang forcibly helped Yang Ye up and said: "The commander-in-chief entrusts the child with such a heavy responsibility because of his trust in the child. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, he must complete it even if the child is shattered to pieces."
Yang Ye grabbed Si Lang's arm tightly and said tremblingly: "Okay, Fourth, you are the pride of my father."
“My father has always been the pride of our brothers.”
Shiro said extremely seriously, and then asked doubtfully: "Father, what is going on?"
Yang Ye was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, my father wants you to open the city gate and surrender to Temujin, and kill my father with your own hands in front of Temujin."
"What?"
Yang Silang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
