Chapter 1277 Yang Guang retreated to Liangzhou in defeat
Chapter 1275: Yang Guang was defeated and retreated to Liangzhou
Yinchuan County has 70,000 main troops and 50,000 militiamen, and the guarding generals are Xue Rengui and Ding Yanping.
Considering that the decisive battle is about to begin, and the main battlefield will surround Ningxia and Yinshan counties, it will be ineffective for this large army to remain in Yinchuan.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Hao decided to order Xue Rengui to lead 65,000 elites to Ningxia to participate in the decisive battle, while Ding Yanping was left to lead 5,000 elites and 50,000 militiamen to guard Yinshan County.
You must know that once the decisive battle begins, the militia will definitely be of no use, and only the main army will be able to play a role.
If Qin Hao arranges this, after the final decisive battle begins, Ningxia County will have 150,000 main troops and 60,000 militiamen, which is enough to stop Temujin's crazy counterattack.
Of course, before Xue Rengui arrived in Ningxia, the entire Ningxia County was actually not safe.
In order to prevent Temujin from seeing the strength of the Han army and leading his army to attack, Qin Hao, Wang Meng, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, and Jia Fu each led an army of 30,000 and were stationed in five cities in Ningxia. They would not give Temujin anything. of opportunity.
————
The whole world's eyes are focused on Hetao, watching the decisive battle between Qin Hao and Temujin, but the duel between Li Shimin and Yang Guang in Guanzhong has been decided silently.
After Yang Jian was beheaded by Dugu Qiubai, Yang Guang inherited Yang Jian's position as king of the Sui Dynasty and commanded the Liang army of the Sui faction. He fought with Li Shimin, who had the support of the Liang faction of the Tang Dynasty, to seize the hegemony of Guanzhong and even the entire Kansai region.
Yang Guang has three super generals, Yang Jian, Hou Yi, and Lu Bu. He also controls more troops than Li Shimin, and he also has the support of his uncle Yang Su from the Liangzhou tribe.
Although Yang Guang was extremely unpopular and unrighteous because of Yang Jian's conspiracy to murder Dong Zhuo, as long as Yang Su of Liangzhou could successfully lead the army into Guanzhong, Yang Guang's hope of victory was still high.
However, it is a pity that Dong Zhuo's Qiang son-in-law Yelu Abaoji responded to Li Shimin's call and led the Qiang army into Liangzhou under the banner of revenge for Dong Zhuo, forcing Yang Su to turn back to Liangzhou.
Without Yang Su as a new force, Yang Guang's power in Guanzhong is not much stronger than that of Li Shimin, and it will naturally be more difficult to win the final victory.
The Battle of Guanzhong did not last long, but its intensity was no less intense than that of Hetao.
Yang Guang and Li Shimin, once good friends, have now completely turned against each other in order to compete for territory and the other to avenge their father. All methods are useless and they both want to kill each other.
As for the person who performed the most eye-catchingly in the Guanzhong War, it was naturally Yang Jian.
When Yang Guang attacked Hangu Pass before, Yang Jian fought against Li Cunxiao alone. Although he was defeated, he came back intact.
In the Battle of Guanzhong, Yang Jian fought against Li Yuanba three times.
For the first time, after Yang Jian fought with Li Yuanba for 300 rounds, he lost half a move to Li Yuanba, but he also escaped completely.
The second time, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba fought for a day and a night, and finally ended in a draw.
The third time, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba were still tied, but with the intervention of the Meishan brothers, they finally defeated Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba's ranking on the military commander list has always been stable. After Xiang Yu's death, he was always first. After being defeated by Li Cunxiao, he fell to second place. Now he is defeated by Yang Jian again. Although there are other people's intervention, this still does not hinder Yang Jian. Hence his fame.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rankings of famous generals in the next issue will be: Li Cunxiao first, Li Yuanba second, Yang Jian third...
Other than Yang Jian, the person who performed most eye-catchingly in the Guanzhong War was undoubtedly Yang Guang.
Yang Guang's reputation has never been great. After all, apart from his status as Yang Jian's only son, he has not done anything memorable. However, in this Guanzhong battle, Yang Guang had some tricks in his confrontation with Li Shimin. Not falling behind, this simply shocked countless people's jaws.
The tragic death of his father and the betrayal of his brother forced Yang Guang to grow up, which also inspired his hidden attribute of "family hatred".
Like Qin Wen’s skill ‘National Enmity’, ‘Family Enmity’ is also a skill that reduces lifespan and permanently increases attributes, but how can family be as good as country.
‘National hatred’ is at the cost of one year of life, and all attributes in the five dimensions are a little longer;
But ‘Family Hatred’ requires two years of life, at the cost of a permanent reduction of 1 point of charm and 1 point of force, in exchange for permanent +1 to the commander and political attributes.
The cost of initiating ‘Family Hatred’ is much higher than that of ‘National Hatred’, but the increase is only limited to commanders and politics, and is far less comprehensive than that of ‘National Hatred’.
Spurred by the death of his father Yang Jian and Li Shimin's ruthlessness, Yang Guang hated Li Shimin deeply. During the confrontation with Li Shimin, Yang Guang's "family hatred" was activated eight times.
Before the "Family Hate" was activated, Yang Guang's five dimensions were: 90 commander, 85 force, 90 intelligence, 90 politics, and 95 charm.
After "Family Hate" was activated, Yang Guang's five dimensions became: Commander 98, Force 77, Intelligence 90, Politics 98, Charisma 87
In other words, Yang Guang paid the price of 16 years of life and 8 points of charm in exchange for a permanent +8 attribute increase of commander and politics.
On the surface, Yang Guang is a young man under thirty years old, but in fact, his life span has reached more than forty years old, and he does not have many years left to live.
Although the price paid was high, Yang Guang was completely reborn and gained the capital to initially fight against Li Shimin. However, if he wanted to completely defeat Li Shimin, 'family hatred' alone was not enough.
Yang Guang's own ability has skyrocketed, and with the assistance of Yang Jian, Gao Ying and other individuals, Yang Guang was indeed not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Li Shimin. However, the war is not only about ability and military strength, but also the hearts and minds of the people.
Yang Jian's conspiracy to harm Dong Zhuo has spread throughout the world. Without conclusive evidence to prove that Dong Zhuo was not murdered by Yang Jian, Yang Guang would not be recognized by the people of Guanxi.
On the other hand, Li Shimin not only owned elite places such as Chang'an, but also received support from Guanzhong families and the people. Behind him, Li Xiaogong continued to transfuse blood in Hanzhong...
Under the situation of one and the other, Yang Guang's power in Guanzhong was continuously weakened, while Li Shimin became stronger and stronger.
Yang Guang did not lose to Li Shimin, but lost to the general trend. This is what makes Yang Guang most helpless and desperate.
As the territory in Guanzhong continued to shrink and his troops continued to decrease, Yang Guang also realized that he had lost the battle and was unable to recover, but it did not mean that his feud with Li Shimin would end here.
Under constant blows, Yang Guang's temperament also became tougher. If he loses this time, he will lose. He just needs to win back next time.
Yang Guang decided to preserve his strength in order to make a comeback, so he led his army to confront Li Shimin while relocating all the people in his territory. Finally, he took 500,000 Guanzhong people and 50,000 elite Sui troops with him and retreated to Liangzhou.
