Chapter 383 Have a good sleep
Outside the mountain pass.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and admired his masterpiece.

This is truly a masterpiece, a masterpiece that has everything going for it, including the right time, the right place, and the right people.

The so-called weather is naturally the northwest wind at the transition from autumn to winter.

The so-called geographical advantage is naturally the mountain pass and the nameless valley. Neither the mountain pass nor the nameless valley can be considered a natural barrier. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to find geographical advantages here.

But the northwest wind and this long and narrow valley perfectly combine the right time and place.

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

As for harmony among people, the soldiers in Chongshan Town are willing to follow his orders, which is the best harmony among people.

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

It is precisely these three necessary conditions that made the fire tonight possible.

The raging flames rolled and rose, illuminating the entire sky and earth.

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

The wind was howling, the fire was burning, and faint screams could be heard.

This hell-like scene horrified many people.

However, after the shock, more eyes were cast towards Yang Zhengshan, and those eyes were filled with ardent admiration and awe.

Even Niuzhuang and Tang Feihu are no exception.

They also looked at Yang Zhengshan with admiration.

Back then, when Yang Zhengshan first arrived in Chongshan Town, Tang Feihu was already a guerrilla general of the town's standard camp. More than ten years later, Tang Feihu was only promoted from guerrilla general to lieutenant general, while Yang Zhengshan went from a small trial centurion to a general.

Tang Feihu recognized Yang Zhengshan's ability. After all, Yang Zhengshan had won consecutive battles in Chongshan Town before. But when it comes to how much respect he has for Yang Zhengshan, it is obviously not much.

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

The fire was getting more and more intense. Yang Zhengshan said, "It's almost done. Let the soldiers go back to the camp and rest."

"Don't we need to keep an eye on this here?" Tang Feihu asked.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "It's enough to have soldiers on duty!"

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

As for the fire in the valley, it will probably take a day and a night to put it out.

You should know that in the Wuliang camp there were not only tens of thousands of Wuliang Hu cavalry, but also supplies looted by the Wuliang army from western Liaoning.

There were thousands of carts of supplies, many of which were food and fodder. With so much food and fodder burning, no one knew when the fire would be extinguished.

Yang Zhengshan gave a few instructions and went back to the camp to sleep.

He almost didn't sleep these days. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan and to prevent the Wuliang army from breaking through Guanshankou, he almost always stayed at Guanshankou.

Now that his plan had succeeded, it was time for him to get some good sleep.

As for the Wuliang army, they were blocked by the imperial guards in the south and a big fire in the north, so they couldn't pursue them even if they wanted to.

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

Yang Zhengshan slept soundly and woke up at dawn.

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

"Greetings, General!" When Xie Yuan saw Yang Zhengshan coming out, he quickly ran up to him and saluted.

"Well, what's the situation?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Xie Yuan laughed and said, "The Wuliang army has been defeated. We have won a great victory!" Yang Zhengshan walked towards the mountain pass and asked as he walked, "Did anyone send someone to contact the imperial guards?"

"It has been sent out, but now it takes a detour of a hundred miles to the north of Xiling City, so we will definitely not receive a reply for a while!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

"General, should we go into the forest to search for the remaining Wuliang troops?" Xie Yuan asked.

Although it is still unclear how many Hu cavalry were killed in the fire, and how many Hu cavalry were killed by the imperial guards in the south, there must have been a lot of Wuliang Hu cavalry who escaped into the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley.

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

"The terrain in the mountains and forests is complex. We have no advantage in entering. There is no need to risk the lives of our soldiers for a few hundred or a few thousand Hu cavalry!"

"But, I think Prince Uto may have escaped into the forest!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Trying to find Wu Tuo now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Let's just forget it!"

If Uto ran away, then so was he. He was not interested in Uto.

Being able to keep tens of thousands of Wuliang troops alive, this battle is already a complete success, and there is no need to keep chasing Wutuo.

"Yes, I understand!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Go and prepare. Select 5,000 soldiers from the Tenglong Guards. Once the fire in the valley is extinguished, take these 5,000 soldiers and head to Daning City."

"Daning City!" Xie Yuan was stunned.

"Well, the situation in the west is a bit complicated. It's not easy to sort it out. After occupying Daning City, don't be too anxious. Stabilize the situation first!"

"Once the other routes in Chongshan Town are settled, I will help you rebuild the West Road of Chongshan Town!"

Yang Zhengshan said.

Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "I thank the general for his support."

The meaning of Yang Zhengshan's words was very clear, he wanted to appoint him as the lieutenant general of Daning Guard in the west route of Chongshan Town.

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

The Wuliang army has been destroyed, and now it is time to enter the final stage.

As the commander-in-chief of Chongshan Town, he naturally has to make plans for the future of Chongshan Town.

There are no major problems with the other roads, except for Chongshan Town West Road, which is a big trouble.

Ji Feiyu and Cui Liang have been operating on Chongshan Town West Road for many years, and their influence on Chongshan Town West Road is profound.

Moreover, the western route of Chongshan Town suffered heavy casualties this time, including tens of thousands of civilians and military households in Guining City and 20,000 soldiers under Cui Liang. Such heavy casualties had a great impact on the western route of Chongshan Town.

If you want to rebuild the west road of Chongshan Town, it will definitely take a lot of time and effort.

But these are all matters 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 guards.

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.

Most of the captives were soldiers from the Western Reinforcement Camp of Chongshan Town, that is, Cui Liang's subordinates.

The Imperial Army won a great victory in this battle.

Faced with a group of panicked Hu cavalry, the well-equipped imperial guards displayed super strong combat effectiveness and stopped all the enemies fleeing south.

Although the Imperial Guards had an absolute advantage in this battle, it also proved their strength.
