Chapter 1277 Yang Guang retreated to Liangzhou
Chapter 1275: Yang Guang retreated to Liangzhou
Yinchuan County has a main army of 70,000 and 50,000 militias, while the guards include Xue Rengui and Ding Yanping.
Considering that the decisive battle is about to begin, and the main battlefield will inevitably revolve around Ningxia and Yinshan counties, this army will not be effective in continuing to stay in Yinchuan.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Hao decided to order Xue Rengui to lead 65,000 elite troops to Ningxia to participate in the decisive battle, and to leave Dingyanping to lead 5,000 elite troops and 50,000 militias to guard Yinshan County.
You should know that once the decisive battle begins, the militia will definitely not be useful, and the only one who can play a role is the main army.
If Qin Hao arranges this way, after the final decisive battle begins, Ningxia County will have 150,000 main forces and 60,000 militias, which is enough to stop Temujin from attacking wildly.
Of course, before Xue Rengui arrived in Ningxia, the entire Ningxia County was actually not safe.
In order to prevent Temujin from leading the attack after seeing the truth of the Han army, Qin Hao, Wang Meng, Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun and Jia Fu, each led 30,000 troops to take charge of the five cities in Ningxia. They would never give Temujin any opportunity to take advantage of.
————
The whole world''s eyes were focused on Hetao, paying attention to the decisive battle between Qin Hao and Temujin, while the showdown between Li Shimin and Yang Guang in Guanzhong has been decided silently.
After Yang Jian was beheaded by Dugu Qiu, Yang Guang inherited the position of Yang Jian as the King of Sui, commanded the Liang army of the Sui clan, and fought with Li Shimin, who had the support of the Tang Liangliang clan, to seize hegemony in Guanzhong and even the entire Guanxi region.
Yang Guang has three super generals, Yang Jian, Houyi and Lu Bu, and he controls more troops than Li Shimin, and he also receives the support of Yang Su, the uncle of Liangzhou.
Although Yang Guang was extremely unpopular and righteous because Yang Jian confirmed his murder of Dong Zhuo, as long as Yang Su from Liangzhou can successfully lead the army into Guanzhong, there is still a great hope of Yang Guang''s victory.
Unfortunately, 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 avenging Dong Zhuo, forcing Yang Su to return to Liangzhou.
With Yang Su''s new force, Yang Guang''s strength in Guanzhong is no longer much stronger than Li Shimin, and it is naturally even more difficult to win the final victory.
The Guanzhong War was not going long, but its intensity was no less than that of Hetao.
Yang Guang and Li Shimin, former friends, have now completely turned against each other in order to compete for territory and the other to avenge their father. All kinds of methods are useless and they want to kill each other.
And to say that the person who performed the most eye-catching in the Guanzhong War was naturally Yang Jian.
Before, when Yang Guang attacked Hangu Pass, Yang Jian fought against Li Cunxiao alone. Although he was defeated, he returned intact.
In the Guanzhong Battle, Yang Jian had confronted Li Yuanba three times.
For the first time, after three hundred rounds of battle with Li Yuanba, Yang Jian lost to Li Yuanba for half a move, but he also escaped unscathed.
For the second time, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba fought one day and one night, and finally ended in a draw.
For the third time, Yang Jian and Li Yuanba were still tied, but after the Meishan brothers intervened, they finally defeated Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba''s ranking on the list of military generals has always been very stable. Xiang Yu has always been the first since his death, and was defeated by Li Cunxiao and fell to second. Now he has been defeated by Yang Jian again. Although there are other people''s intervention, this still does not prevent Yang Jian from becoming famous because of this.
If nothing unexpected happens, the ranking of famous generals in the next issue will become: first Li Cunxiao, second Li Yuanba, third Yang Jian...
In addition to Yang Jian, the person who performed the most eye-catching performance in the Guanzhong battle is undoubtedly Yang Guang.
Yang Guang has never been famous. After all, except for Yang Jian''s only son, he did not do anything that can be remembered. However, in this battle in Guanzhong, Yang Guang was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Li Shimin, which shocked countless people''s chins.
The tragic death of his father and the betrayal of his brothers forced Yang Guang to grow up, which also inspired his hidden attribute "family hatred".
Like Qin Wen''s skill "National Evil", "Family Evil" is also a skill that reduces lifespan and increases attributes permanently, but how can a family be comparable to a country?
‘National Feud’ comes at the cost of one year’s life, with each of the five-dimensional attributes longer;
However, the "family hatred" is based on a two-year lifespan, at the cost of permanently reducing 1 charm and 1 force, in exchange for a permanent +1 commander and political attributes.
The cost of launching a "family hatred" is much greater than that of "national hatred", but the increase is limited to commander and politics, and it is far less comprehensive than that of "national hatred".
Under the death of his father Yang Jian and the ruthless stimulation of Li Shimin, Yang Guang hated Li Shimin to the core, and during the confrontation with Li Shimin, Yang Guang''s "family hatred" was activated 8 times.
Before the ''family hatred'' was launched, Yang Guang''s five dimensions were: commander 90, force 85, intelligence 90, politics 90, charm 95
After the launch of the ‘family hatred’, Yang Guang’s five dimensions became: commander 98, force 77, intelligence 90, politics 98, charm 87
In other words, Yang Guang paid 16 years of life and 8 charm points in exchange for the increase in the attributes of commander and politics permanent +8.
On the surface, Yang Guang is a young man under 30 years old, but in fact his life span is over 40 years old and he has not had many years to live.
Although the price paid was high, Yang Guang was completely reborn and obtained the capital to initially fight against Li Shimin. However, if he wanted to completely defeat Li Shimin, it was far from enough to rely on his "family hatred".
Yang Guang''s own ability surged, coupled with the assistance of Yang Jian, Gao Ying and others, Yang Guang did not lose his way in the confrontation between Li Shimin, but the war was not only about ability and military strength, but also about the people''s hearts.
Yang Jian''s conspiracy to murder Dong Zhuo has spread all over the world. Without conclusive evidence to prove that Dong Zhuo was not Yang Jian''s harm, Yang Guang would not be recognized by the people of Guanxi.
In contrast, Li Shimin not only has the essence of Chang''an and other places, but also has received support from the Guanzhong family and the people. Behind him is Li Xiaogong constantly transfusions in Hanzhong...
As one goes up and down, Yang Guang''s strength in Guanzhong was constantly 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 made Yang Guang the most helpless and desperate.
As his territory in Guanzhong continues to shrink and his troops continue to decrease, Yang Guang also realized that he lost this war and was unable to make up for the situation, but it does not mean that the grudge between him and Li Shimin will end here.
Under constant blows, Yang Guang''s temperament became tenacious. If he lost this time, he would lose, and if he won the next time, he would win it back.
Yang Guang decided to preserve his strength in an attempt to make a comeback, so he led his troops to confront Li Shimin while relocating all the people in his territory, and eventually took over 500,000 Guanzhong people and 50,000 elite Sui troops to retreat to Liangzhou.
