Chapter 451: An Old Horse Knows the Way

"Bai Shang? Are you Bai Shang?"

At this time, a forty-year-old man stood beside Bai Shang. Read М

Like the people on the island, the man was basically just skin and bones, but his eyes were bright and energetic.

"General Yang... Yang Zhen." Bai Shang's head was sweating and he couldn't help blurting out.

He rubbed his eyes while speaking and looked carefully again.

Although the man's appearance was a little out of shape, he could still vaguely recognize his old appearance.

Now, he was extremely shocked.

Twelve years ago, he was just a small imperial guard soldier under this man.

Later, Yang Zhen was sent to Ningjindusi, and then there was the battle of Ningjindusi.

All six sons of Yang Feng died on the battlefield.

This Yang Zhen was Yang Feng's third son, and people in the capital called him Yang Sanlang.

So, how could he not be shocked when a person who had been dead for ten years suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Your identity is indeed extraordinary." Old Man Yu suddenly said at this time.

This man was picked up by the villagers on the beach.

At that time, the man was wearing armor and was seriously injured and almost died.

The villagers knew that Ningjindusi was fighting and could see that the man was a general of Dasong, so they saved him.

After the Beidi people landed on Chrysanthemum Island, the villagers made up an identity for the man.

Since then, the man has lived on Chrysanthemum Island for ten years.

"It's me, I'm Yang Zhen." Seeing Bai Shang's excited face, Yang Zhen's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

Bai Shang was more and more happy, but he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face changed, "No, you are not General Yang. The General Yang I know is a man of integrity. How could he stay here for ten years and watch the people here suffer humiliation from the Beidi?"

Yang Zhen's expression froze, he was stunned for a while, and lowered his head.

"It's not his fault. Not to mention that he is already disabled, the villagers are also timid and dare not resist. After all, if these twenty Beidi people are killed, there will probably be two hundred Beidi people next. At that time, no one in the village will want to live." Old Man Yu sighed.

Bai Shang only noticed at this time that Yang Zhen's left arm was empty, and he immediately felt guilty.

"You are right. I should have died in that war. It is not worthy of the name of the Yang family to survive until now." Yang Zhen's body trembled slightly.

"It's just that I am unwilling to lose Ningjin Dusi like this. I want to wait until one day the Dasong army enters Ningjin Dusi, even if it is just an ordinary soldier to fight the enemy, but I have waited for ten years and nothing has been waited for."

After saying that, two lines of tears slid down Yang Zhen's cheeks.

"No, you waited for us, General Yang Zhen, are you willing to join the royal army now? As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. This time we need a guide who is familiar with Ningjin Dusi."

The misunderstanding was resolved and Bai Shang regained his sanity.

Yang Zhen's current status is very embarrassing.

If the news of his survival spreads to the court, he will not get any praise, but the blame for losing Ningjin Dusi will be placed on his head again.

He has no choice but to die.

It is a waste for such a person who is familiar with Ningjin Dusi to live on Chrysanthemum Island.

So, he thought of introducing him to his own command and let him lead the way in this surprise attack.

At the same time, he also wanted to test Yang Zhen to see if Yang Zhen still has the courage to fight the enemy.

Let him be just an ordinary soldier, and also to see if Yang Zhen is sincere.

If he is sincere, he will not care about being under him, just to kill the enemy.

"As long as you don't despise me, a cripple." Yang Zhen said.

Bai Shang nodded.

Although Yang Zhen's status ten years ago was similar to Chang Wei's current status.

But now things are man-made, naturally it can't be the same as before.

What's more, he is in charge of the troops of King Yan, and Yang Zhen must know nothing about firearms.

After a while, Zhou Yi also went ashore in a small boat.

He was even more shocked when he saw Yang Zhen.

Compared with Bai Shang, he was more familiar with Yang Zhen because his father had been under Yang Zhen's command before.

The three sighed for a while, and Bai Shang comforted the villagers again.

Telling them that Chrysanthemum Island will be the fief of King Yan in the future.

They will also be the subjects of King Yan, and the people left with satisfaction.

Although they live on Chrysanthemum Island, which is basically isolated from the world.

But the little leader of Beidi still has some contact with the outside world.

They learned about the ninth prince of Dasong who defeated Beidi many times from the little leader.

After sending the people away, the three of them went to the house where the leader of Beidi lived under the leadership of Old Man Yu.

This is the only wooden building on the island.

On the way, Bai Shang and Zhou Yi introduced King Yan and his deeds to Yang Zhen.

Finally, they told the purpose of their visit here.

"I didn't expect that my Dasong would have such a talented and ambitious prince. It's really a blessing for my Dasong." Sitting on the stone bench in the yard, Yang Zhen was still in shock.

If he hadn't seen the huge warships on the sea, he would never believe what the two said.

Yanguan repelled the Beidi, Jinzhou defeated Xiliang, and a few days ago, annihilated 100,000 Beidi soldiers at sea.

This is the force of the entire Beidi king's tent.

Now, the King of Yan is even bolder and decided to attack Ningjindusi.

For ten years, this land has been a forbidden area for Dasong.

"General Yang, where do you think we should attack first this time?" Bai Shang asked.

"General Yang is dead, General Bai, just call me Yang Zhen." Yang Zhen's face was calm, and there was no ripples.

Then he picked up a tree and started drawing on it.

A quarter of an hour later, a map of Ningjin Dusi appeared in front of the two.

It had cities, mountains, rivers, and roads, but it was the defense map of Ningjin Dusi.

"Although I have been on the island for these years, I have kept in mind the information revealed by the Beidi soldiers. At the moment, this is probably what Ningjin Dusi looks like. If it is just harassment, I suggest harassing Anxian Iron Mine first. Anxian Iron Mine has provided Beidi with a steady supply of iron ore over the years. The most important thing is that there are still 8,000 Dasong people mining there. It is best for you to go ashore here." Yang Zhen said.

"And here, this is Hulu Grassland. Beidi has a horse farm here, and thousands of people are enslaved here. It is suitable for going ashore here."

"..."

Yang Zhen told several places in Ningjin Dusi that were easy to reach and profitable, just like he knew them all.

Bai Shang nodded slightly, and Zhou Yi did the same.

After all, they were old horses who knew the way. Yang Zhen's words helped them see the light, and the route of this harassment gradually became clear.

After a day's rest.

The next day, Bai Shang and Zhou Yi took Yang Zhen on board the warship.

They chose the first place to attack, Anxian Iron Mine.

Anxian is due north of Juhua Island and can be reached in half a day.

Five hundred soldiers were left to guard the island, and twelve warships headed due north.
