Chapter 130 The Good Swimmer Drowns
Yang Xuan took the scabbard for a while, Liu Qing panted and asked with his hands on his hips, "Do you know what's wrong?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

Yang Xuan lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye.

Liu Qing threw back the scabbard, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a beaming smile, "Good job!"

This is a slap and a praise.

If the old man doesn't deal with him, it will be difficult for him to convince the public, and those people will attack him for favoritism.After beating Yang Xuan severely, no one could comment.Then praise it again, and the matter is complete.

Suzaku said: "Little Xuanzi, I'm a little worried that your IQ is not enough and you will be fooled by these people."

"Victory in this battle depends on the hard work of the soldiers." Liu Qing said in a loud voice, "Looking back at the merits, the rewards will not be less."

The soldiers were all smiling.

"But the victory of this battle also depends on one person."

Liu Qing pointed to Yang Xuan, and said: "The old man ordered him to lead the army alone, so he naturally has the right to make a decision on the fly. Yang Xuan found out that the enemy was besieging our central army, what if he gathered the central army at that time? At most, this battle will be invincible. defeat."

Anyone with some brains at this moment is full of praise for the timing of Yang Xuan's attack.

"He has been waiting, waiting for what? Waiting for Liang Chao to attack with the last troops, when the two sides are all entangled and it is difficult for the enemy to withdraw calmly."

"The moment I saw him, the old man wanted to beat him up. Otherwise, I would suffer so hard here, but he calmly defeated the enemy army. Are you wronged?"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Qing's words made everyone laugh, and Yang Xuan found that there was more friendliness in those eyes.

"The old man treats you well!" The green light flickered.

"But Yang Xuan's kung fu is so great in this battle!"

Liu Qing roared: "Shout out for my Tang Dynasty warrior..."

"Cai!" Everyone raised their arms and shouted.

The sound of horseshoes came from afar, and someone shouted: "There are cavalry!"

Then the generals shouted.

"Array! Array!"

Without waiting to line up, he rushed over as soon as he rode.

"It's our people!"

This is Datang Scout, he looked at the battlefield that was still in its original state, and said disappointedly: "It's over?"

Someone was furious, "Why, do you think it should be endless?"

Thousands of cavalry appeared in the distance, with an astonishing momentum.

"Yes...the cavalry from Tao County."

Taoxian represents Jiedushi.

Zhang Du rushed over immediately, and said disappointedly: "Is this the end?"

Liu Qing was startled, and then asked: "But the reinforcements sent by Zhongcheng?"

Zhang Du cupped his hands, "Vice general Zhang Du was ordered to take over the Chenzhou army. What a pity!"

This guy looked resentful for not being able to make any contribution, and said happily after seeing Yang Xuan: "Zi Tai!"

"Zhang Du!" Yang Xuan laughed and said, "Why are you here?"

Liu Qing winked, implying that Yang Xuan received the lieutenant well, and he ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

Zhang Du got off his horse, rubbed his buttocks, frowned and said, "Zhongcheng was worried that the Vasie's troops would send troops, so he asked me to bring three thousand cavalry to meet them. Unexpectedly, I came too late."

"How about Zhongcheng?" Yang Xuan asked.

"It's still the same." Zhang Du said with a smile: "Beiliao sent people to ask for the heads of the beheaded generals. Zhongcheng said "feed the dog", and the envoy was so angry that he said that he would turn around and attack northern Xinjiang. Zhongcheng gave me a wink ..."

"What did you say?" Yang Xuan thought Huang Chunhui was an old fox.

"I can't say it's a grandson!"

Zhang Du laughed.

"What about Beiliao?"

"Beiliao..."

When He Lianfeng came to the throne, a group of dignitaries rebelled, and they were suppressed immediately, but they were not wiped out.Those remnants have gradually swelled up over the years, and this time, taking advantage of Helian Peak's return from hunting and the relaxation of the palace's defenses, they launched a rebellion.

That night, the palace was filled with blood. It was said that the rebel army had reached Helianfeng's bedroom. Even Helianfeng was ready to attack with weapons. Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time.

All that's left is to settle the matter, those dignitaries are bachelors, they gather together to resist, but Helian Peak is set on fire.

"It is said that the screams resounded through the night sky, and the entire Ningxing City heard it. The smell of barbecue in the city lingered for days."

Ningxing is the capital of Beiliao.

All the remaining males were beheaded and all the females were enslaved.

"Terrible!" Zhang Du said with foam flying from the mouth.

Yang Xuan felt that this was just ordinary.

It should have been even more tragic when Yiniang took him away from the confinement of the deposed prince.

"It would be great if the army attacked at that time." Zhang Du felt a little regretful.

……

"Tell the emperor in Tanzhou that if we don't give more food this year, our herdsmen will go to join Datang."

With a dark face, Hua Zhuo watched his subordinates collect the money they had accumulated with great difficulty, and prepared to go to Tanzhou to buy it.

The three major departments are located between Chenzhou in the Tang Dynasty and Tanzhou in the Northern Liao Dynasty. The controller of Tanzhou is He Lianchun, the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

When He Lianfeng's father, the last emperor of Beiliao, was enthroned, He Lianchun was only five years old. What kind of threat could a baby be?
In order to let the world see his kindness, the emperor doted on this younger brother very much, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was spoiled.

When He Lianchun grows up, he can be said to be full of five poisons, eat, drink, play, gamble and prostitute. Let him be so slutty.

The old emperor was about to die, and before he died, he was worried about the turmoil, so He Lianchun took his family and guarded outside the palace, claiming that anyone who dared to rebel would step on the corpses of his family first.

Later, someone really rebelled, and He Lianchun resolutely brought his family into the palace, and it is said that he killed several rebels.

So He Lianfeng, who originally thought that he would be the emperor and a courtier, had more affection for the emperor uncle, but thinking of his absurdity gave him a headache, and in the end the think tank came up with a way to let the emperor uncle come to Tanzhou to sit in charge.

Hello Tanzhou!

There are three major ministries ahead, even if Datang had ten guts, he would not dare to attack Tanzhou.Moreover, Uncle Huang is one of his own, with him sitting in Tanzhou, He Lianfeng can sleep with one more eye.

The emperor's uncle must say that he is a philanthropic person, but when he arrived in Tanzhou, he was so angry that He Lianfeng couldn't help but regret his decision, and people came to Tanzhou to scold him.

This emperor uncle can't do anything else, but he has one advantage, that is, he is docile to the emperor.So the people of Tanzhou finally ushered in spring, but Uncle Huang turned his greedy eyes to the three major departments.

"Khan, the price of grain in Tanzhou is twice that of Datang!" Someone said with a wry smile: "Last time I begged to lower the price, that uncle sent someone to tell you whether you want to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, go away!"

Hua Zhuo really wanted to tear that uncle into pieces, but he only needed to think about the consequences of losing Daliao's protection, and he gave up the idea.

"Go."

Hua Zhuo waved his hand.

"Khan!"

The horse's hooves sounded hurriedly, and Hua Zhuo, who was beating them, was in a panic.

"What's the matter?"

A sergeant came in, without bothering to salute, he said anxiously: "Khan, Liang Chao's troops... are gone."

"what?"

The battle at the beginning of the fourth year of Daqian broke the balance between Vase and Chenzhou. Not long after Chenzhou's army returned, Vase's army appeared outside Lin'an City.

Liu Qing hung the heads of the Liang family and his son on the top of the city wall to dry, forcing Vache to launch a siege battle.

The city of Lin'an was solid, and it would be foolish to attack the city in such a season, so Vase retreated with hatred.

In Taiping City, Yang Xuan ruthlessly trained his subordinates.

There were 500 people, most of whom were criminals.

The sound of shouting and killing can be heard even in the city every day.

Jiang Zhen was silent for a long time in his room before opening a letter.

According to the prior agreement, the tab reads: to win trust.

Is this what makes me a confidant of Mingfu?
Jiang Zhen found it very difficult.

"But I am very happy, what should I do?" He really wanted to be Yang Xuan's confidant and follow this generous county magistrate.

He thought for a long time and began to write a reply.

--it is good!

He thought about it and regretted it again.

--difficult!

"We can't let them know that the Ming government is so kind to me." Jiang Zhen decided that's it.

"Mingfu is back."

Jiang Zhen put away the letter, left the room, and saw Yang Xuan brought Nan He and others into the county hall.

"I have seen Ming Palace."

"Jiang Zhen!" Yang Xuan, who was furious, nodded and smiled.
Ming Fu is really a good person.

Yang Xuan entered the duty room and scolded: "How can you defend against the enemy without a crossbow? The bow and arrow have a short range, and the enemy will rush up after shooting a round. What's the use?"

Yiniang came in and looked at Nan He.

Nan He shook his head, indicating that the problem is not serious.

"Lang Jun put out the fire." Yi Niang turned around, "Si Niangzi, hurry up and make tea for Lang Jun."

Zhang Siniang glanced at Yang Xuan, and ran away as if flying.

am i a tigerYang Xuan sat down, patted his forehead to regain consciousness, "Just now Tao County replied to the letter, saying that the Taiping Army's 1000 men are not enough to equip crossbows."

Yiniang didn't understand this, so she said casually: "The big deal is to make it yourself, let the old thieves make it."

"This is not nonsense." Cao Ying smiled wryly, "It is very difficult to make a crossbow. Craftsman, good materials are indispensable, but it is so difficult to make these."

According to Yang Xuan's idea, the Taiping army should have crossbows at long range and bows and arrows at short range, and then stab you to death with long spears.

But the matter of crossbow bow was rejected by Tao County, which made Yang Xuan's reform plan suffer a blow.

Yang Xuan suddenly asked: "Is it possible to find a craftsman?"

Cao Ying shook her head, "The craftsmen of this class are all under the control of the Ministry of Industry...not even the Chunyu clan."

Nan He said faintly: "The Chunyu family must have one, but making crossbows is a taboo, even if there is, his family will cover it up."

The crossbow is powerful and has a long range. It can be called a sharp weapon for assassinating kings.

The old thief scratched his head, "The old man went to Beiliao to rob tombs, and there was no crossbow in Beiliao. It shows that the Tang Dynasty guarded these craftsmen very closely."

Suzaku said, "Build it yourself."

Build a fart!
If the Taiping Army really wants to make a crossbow, someone in Chang'an should be impeached.

Playing crossbows without permission, whether in Datang or Beiliao, can almost be booked as a crime of treason.

"We still have to find a way from Tao County."

Yang Xuan wrote to the two brothers over there, asking them to help mediate.

Not long after, Jiang Cunzhong wrote back, saying that ten crossbows had arrived through mediation.

"Ten crossbows?" Yang Xuan was furious, thinking it was teasing.When I saw that this was a benefit given by Zhang Du to appeal for his grievances and was slapped by Liao Jin, who was almost unable to take care of himself, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

——After Zhang Chumao went to southern Xinjiang, someone stared at Zhongcheng, saying that Zhongcheng was messing around in northern Xinjiang and didn't want to make progress.Be quiet recently, and wait for Zhong Cheng to get through the difficulties.

"I see!"

Yang Xuan felt that Huang Chunhui would not give him only ten crossbows no matter what, it was no different from joking.

After dinner, the family gathers to chat.

"Lang Jun, do you want to find a craftsman?"

asked the old thief.

"Yes." Yang Xuan's desire for craftsmen is extraordinary.

The old thief said: "There are the most criminals in Taiping City. When the villain was imprisoned in Chang'an, the people who came in were all kinds of strange people."

Suzaku: "The people here speak nicely, there are a lot of talents."

Yang Xuan's heart moved, "Ask."

On the second day, the old thief found several people to commit crimes.

"What are you doing?" Cao Ying asked.

A middle-aged prisoner on the left raised his hand.

"Say."

"The villain is a blacksmith."

"Where did you work before?"

"Military Department."

Yang Xuan and Cao Ying exchanged glances and asked, "What are you building?"

"weapon."

"What weapon?"

"Swords and guns!"

"Can you make a crossbow?"

The prisoner shook his head, "Those people can't leave Chang'an."

Cao Ying sighed in disappointment.

Yang Xuan asked; "If I give you a way, will you build it?"

The prisoner nodded, a kind of self-confidence called an expert made him look less humble, "Yes."

"What is your name?"

"Grain seeds."

Yang Xuan asked: "Why were you exiled to Taiping?"

Gu Zhong lowered his head, "Back then when the villain made something good, Shangguan framed the villain because he wanted to take credit for it."

"Hey!" Cao Ying shook her head and sighed.

Yang Xuan asked casually: "Where is that Shangguan?"

Gu Zhong said calmly: "My hand is broken."

"How did you break it?"

"He was hit by someone, and his hand was stuck in molten iron. In desperation, the villain cut off his arm with a knife and saved his life."

"Who hit it?"

"Little man."

Talent!

Yang Xuan thought for a while, "From now on, you will obey my orders."

"Yes." Gu Zhong hesitated for a moment, "Dare to ask Ming Fu, what do you want the villain to build?"

"weapon."

After Gu Zhong left, Yang Xuan said to Cao Ying: "We must have our own craftsmen, let's accumulate slowly."

Yang Xuan went out.

The old thief said: "Mr. Lang, is this going to start saving money?"

Cao Ying nodded, "How do you feel?"

The old thief said: "At the beginning, there were only a few people in Chang'an, but in a blink of an eye, he was in charge of a county, with more than [-] people under his command. Look at me! Sir, I will definitely be able to control one side in the future."

Cao Ying frowned, "Get to the point!"

The old thief murmured, "I almost forgot what my lord wants... The great cause of rebellion will surely be accomplished!"

The old thief stood up, "Old man, go out for a walk."

"Second!"

He stood under the eaves, shouting at the top of his voice.

"What?"

A head suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The old thief jumped up in fright, and when he realized that it was Wang Er Er who was hanging upside down under the eaves, he chased and killed him while yelling and cursing.

The two left the county hall one after the other.

"Where are you going?" Wang Laoer felt that the weather was the most comfortable to warm up.

The old thief was bored, "Let's go, walk around the city."

Wang Laoer shook his head, "I won't go."

The old thief was bored by himself, so he coaxed: "The old man will take you to find a beauty, and I will find you a wife."

The sound of hoofs came hurriedly.

"Scared! Get out of the way!"

shouted the knight on horseback.

A figure flickered on the side of the road, and a man bumped into it head-on.

Wang Laoer's eyes widened, "That's Taiping Pengci No. 1 Xiao Erlang."

The term "Pengci" was coined by Yang Xuan, and it quickly became popular throughout the city.

Xiao Erlang Pengci is famous for his lightning-fast movements, which are not easy to detect, and the parties may even think that it is caused by his own mistakes.

He has experienced countless times of tempering porcelain, and never missed it.

This time was no exception, he even planned to fly over before the horse hit him.

The war horse stumbled suddenly.

Bah!
Xiao Erlang flew out, and the horse stood firm because of this, and he couldn't help hissing proudly.

"Husband!"

A woman rushed over.

Wang Lao Er has studied the situation in the city very much recently, "This is Chang Sanniang, Xiao Erlang's partner, and her crying is earth-shattering."

The old thief was already stunned, feeling that he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't take his eyes off the woman.

Chang Sanniang raised her head, with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, she looked fiercely at the man who got off the horse.

"It's dead!"

In the early spring of the fourth year of Daqian, Xiao Erlang, the number one master of Pengci in Taiping County, died of Pengci.
