Chapter 112 He Can't, I'll Do It

In the early morning autumn wind, Han Shitou walked slowly in the palace.

"I met Young Supervisor Han."

The servants in front saluted at the side.

Han Shitou's reddish eyes swept over, nodded, and moved on.

Behind him, someone said in a low voice: "This guy has just been promoted to a young prisoner, but there is no superior in front of him, so he is extremely powerful!"

Han Shitou was unmoved when he heard the flattering words.

In front of the bedroom, he stood outside and whispered: "Your Majesty, the time has come."

There was a sigh almost groaning in the bedroom, which was very pleasant.

"Erlang, it's time to go to court."

The imperial concubine's voice is very recognizable, greasy, but pure.

"Go back to sleep."

Han Shitou didn't urge him, but just waited.

After a while, the emperor's voice came from inside.

"Come on!"

Han Shitou waved his hand and led the people in.

On the couch, the emperor was leaning against, the imperial concubine was still lying down, a clump of beautiful hair scattered on the pillow.

"The courtiers are also up."

The concubine sat up.

The sudden plumpness makes people want to look away.

Han Shitou didn't look sideways, and said: "There was news from Beijiang earlier, and Beiliao attacked again and was repelled."

The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, turned around and said, "Swan Yan, please sleep for a while, I will go to the front."

After leaving the bedroom, the emperor asked, "How heavy is the loss?"

Han Shitou bowed slightly, "Several villages were slaughtered."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "He Lianfeng has become more and more rampant recently. Is this to make me lose face at the end of the year? Let Zhang Chumao send troops to sweep He Lianfeng's face!"

……

"The emperor ordered Zhang Chumao to send troops."

Wang Douxiang walked into the study.

Wang Douluo put down the scroll in his hand, and said sarcastically, "I bet the old man that he ordered Zhang Chumao to send troops for face."

Wang Douxiang sat down, "When he first came to the throne, he also made great achievements and attacked everywhere..."

"That's not a great feat." Wang Douluo's eyebrows were marked by deep lines in the candlelight, "Some people say that his throne was killed, that's stupid. His throne was taken in a rebellion.

In the later years of Emperor Wu, he led troops into the palace and forced Emperor Wu to abdicate.His father, who is now the Supreme Emperor, ascended the throne immediately, and within two years he led his army into the palace again to seize the throne. Such a person only has power in his eyes. "

"After ascending to the throne, he also knew that the throne was unstable, so while cleaning it, he ordered the army to attack in all directions. This is an act of gaining prestige."

"Zhang Chumao is from the Yang family." Wang Douxiang narrowed his eyes, "Isn't the emperor afraid that the Yang family will be too powerful to control?"

"One side gains, and the other side has to lose some." Wang Douluo smiled and said, "So the life of the empress in the palace is getting more and more difficult."

"Aye! Second Uncle!"

Wang Xianer's voice came from outside.

The two people in the study smiled.

"Xian'er! Come in."

Wang Xian'er came in, and Fu said behind him: "Aye, I heard that the Northern Liao invaded the Tang Dynasty?"

Wang Douluo nodded, "Why do you ask this?"

Wang Xian'er said: "My people are serving as county magistrates over there!"

"Your man?" Wang Douluo looked at Wang Douxiang.

Wang Douxiang smiled and said: "The boy from Yuanzhou, by chance, later went to Chenzhou to be the county magistrate. Xian'er always said that he belonged to her."

Wang Douluo shook his head and smiled wryly, "You are spoiled by lawlessness. Chenzhou is the most desolate and dangerous place in northern Xinjiang. The officials refused to go, so the Ministry of Officials arranged those officials who made mistakes. Your people... wait until he can Come back alive and talk about it."

Wang Xian'er was startled, with tears in her eyes, "Aye, you lied! I don't believe it!"

She turned and ran away, Wang Douluo frowned, "Xian'er is spoiled by you."

Wang Douxiang retorted, "When it comes to pampering Xian'er, brother, you are number one."

Wang Douluo shook his head, "Chen Zhou, that's a terrible place! That's fine, let her know some things about the world."

……

The weather is getting colder.

The city has never been so quiet.

Yang Xuan had nothing to do today, so he took Wang Lao Er and the old thief who had just returned from the rivers and lakes to prepare to leave the city.

Diagonally opposite the county hall is Yue Er's family.Yue Er was over 50 years old, timid, and at the moment he took his two sons, nine-year-old Yue Dashu and six-year-old Yue Sanshu, out.

Yue Er cupped his hands, and then slapped the back of the heads of his two sons.

Snapped!
"Hurry up and salute."

Yang Xuan's eyelids jumped wildly, he nodded and said, "Going out?"

Yue Er bowed his head and said, "That's right, Mingfu is going out too! If you don't mind, the villain will clear the way for Mingfu."

Yang Xuan shook his head, then got on his horse and left.

The old thief smiled and said: "Don't think that Yue Er is honest, Mr. Lang, but this man! He doesn't care about appearances."

"Tell me."

"This Yue Er is a liar. He has a clever way of deceiving. Later, he tricked the minister of the Ministry of Rites and succeeded. Later, the minister of the Ministry of Rites was furious, and bad people rushed out, arrested him, and then exiled him to Taiping."

The timid Yue Er turned out to be an old liar?
Yang Xuan looked back, and Yue Er bowed his hands respectfully.

"After arriving here, Yue Er was lucky. He married a criminal's daughter, and gave birth to two sons."

Seeing the envious look on the old thief's face, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "How about I ask Yiniang to find a wife for you?"

"No, no more." The old thief smiled wryly, "At this age, if you find it, even if you have a child, you go there before he grows up, and you don't feel at ease when he dies, worrying that their mother and child will be killed. Bully."

Wang Laoer said: "Mr. Lang, what did you say that the Northern Liao invasion will attack us in Taiping?"

"That's Xuanzhou." Yang Xuan was a little annoyed, feeling that the Tang military's response was too slow, so he should fight back decisively instead of waiting.

Out of the city, there is a wide area in front of you.

The three arrived at the training ground at the foot of the mountain.

"kill!"

Four hundred infantry are practicing, and one hundred cavalry are practicing alone.

"I've met Mr. Lang." Nan He saluted, and praised: "Mr. Lang's military training method is really useful."

"There are spies!"

The two riders on the right galloped away.

Two figures rushed at the foot of the mountain.

"Take it!"

An old man and a child in his early ten years were brought over, along with two baskets, one big and one small.

The old man knelt down, "The villain is not a spy, the villain is a picker of mountain goods."

The child trembled with fright.

Yang Xuan walked over, saw some hazelnuts in the basket, and said, "Spread your hands."

The old and the young spread out their hands, densely covered with scars.And there are old and new scars.

Yang Xuan nodded, "Don't go this way next time."

The old man got up happily, but trembling a little.The child gave him a hand, deftly, apparently often.

"Thank you Mingfu."

"The villain will not dare to go this way next time."

"Wait." Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, "Who has money."

The old thief took out the purse.

Yang Xuan handed over the money bag, "Take it."

"Don't dare!" The old man waved his hands in panic, "The villain doesn't dare!"

The child cried with a whoosh, but still remembered to help the old man.

"Take it, here it is for you." Yang Xuan said angrily, "If I don't accept it, I will get angry."

The old man took the money bag.

"Go!"

The old man turned his head three times a step, and when he turned around the foot of the mountain, he said hurriedly: "Sanlang, hurry up, run!"

"Aon, what about you!"

"You run with the purse, hurry up."

Yang Xuan stood there, the old thief sighed: "Cunning."

"Array!"

A hundred cavalry are on the side, and four hundred infantry are in the middle.

The array is strict.

Yang Xuan walked to the front of the array with piercing eyes.

"You have seen the scene just now, who has anything to say?"

Someone raised his hand, Yang Xuan nodded.

"That old man is cunning!"

Yang Xuan squeezed his hands, "Yes! Everyone said he was cunning, but whoever saw the scars on his hands, who saw him walking tremblingly, still wanted to take his immature grandson up the mountain to pick hazelnuts People of this age should take care of themselves at home, and young children like this should study in school, but where are they?"

"A living on the mountain!"

"It's a disgrace!"

Yang Xuan had never been so angry before, "This is my shame, your shame, and even this Great Tang's shame!"

The old thief shivered.

"Northern Liao invaded Xuanzhou, where is Xuanzhou? It's on the left flank of Chenzhou, but what is the army doing? Standing firm! Cao Teniang's sticking to it!"

In the formation, those sergeants gradually became more sad and angry.

"Look at those two grandparents, the old and the young, who ventured into the mountains, why? They are poor, and if they don't go into the mountains, they will starve to death!"

Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "What should we do?"

The array is silent.

One hand is raised.

"Kill the enemy!"

moment.

Countless hands are raised.

Howling!

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

The old thief's lips trembled, "These are criminals! Why... why are they like this..."

Yang Xuan walked over and asked a sergeant.

"Why kill the enemy?"

The sergeant bowed his head, "The villain... Although the villain is a repeat offender, but the villain... the villain also has relatives, friends, and many people who care about him. The villain does not understand any major principles, he only knows..."

He raised his head, trembling all over, "The villain only knows to protect them!"

"guard!"

Yang Xuan patted the sergeant on the shoulder, "Practice well, and I will take you to wait for the Prancing Horse in the future, which will frighten the foreigners!"

The sergeants looked at him one by one, clearly confirming the authenticity of this promise in their eyes.

Yang Xuan drew his sword.

hold high.

"This word must be practiced!"

He strode back.

Back in the county, Cao Ying saw that he looked wrong, so she asked.

The old thief told him what happened.

"Hey!"

Cao Ying went to the backyard to find Yang Xuan.

"Lang Jun, let's deal with Beiliao slowly after the rebellion is successful."

Standing under the tree, Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "Old Cao, you only saw a corner."

Cao Ying: "..."

Yang Xuan said: "We traveled from Chang'an to Chenzhou along the way. I don't know what you saw, but what I saw was the displacement of the people."

Cao Ying was ashamed, "The Tang Dynasty has been in peace for many years, and the population is increasing day by day, but there is only so much land. In addition, the annexation of the rich and powerful has become more and more intense, so more and more people are fleeing..."

"The people are mourning." Yang Xuan said in a deep voice, "But in Chang'an City, everyone from the emperor to the petty officials is singing and dancing. They all turn a blind eye to the crisis in this so-called prosperous age. Ten years later, what will happen to more and more refugees? ?
If Datang can't solve their problems, they will come to solve this Datang! "

Yang Xuan said with piercing eyes: "Beiliao is still eyeing the tiger. What Tang should do is to work hard, but what is that idiot doing? He is fighting for power and profit with those aristocratic families. He is using the precious station to deliver fruit to his concubine." ! Beiliao continues to grow stronger, but Datang continues to decline. This is a situation of internal and external troubles, and Datang is not far from decline!"

Cao Ying smiled wryly, "But those people couldn't see it, no, it's the false emperor who ignored all this, what should we do?"

Yang Xuan said decisively: "He can't do it, I'll do it!"
