retaliate

Chapter 360
"So lively?"

Under the banner of Yang Zi, Yang Xuan watched as more than a thousand Liao troops were chasing and killing a group of Tang army scouts ahead.Tang Jun's scouts were fleeing, but when they saw them, they turned around and killed them.

The old soldier stood there, and behind him were several Liao soldiers trying to capture him alive by throwing the noose of his horse.

The scouts tried their best to kill them regardless of their own life or death.

"Second child."

"Lang Jun!"

"Kill them all!"

"Order!"

The second child is promising... Tu Chang watched with relief as Wang's second child rushed forward with a team of cavalry.

The eyes looking at Yang Xuan are also softer.

The Liao army on the opposite side also spotted Yang Xuan.

"Catch a few alive and withdraw."

This is the boundary of Chenzhou, he didn't know if there was a large group behind Yang Xuan, he had to be more cautious before sentrying out.

The Liao army rounded up the Tang army's scouts, not many, more than three hundred.

The number of men and horses brought by Wang Laoer was similar.

The generals of the Liao army felt that it was not a matter to capture a few prisoners.

Both sides approached.

Old Liu dodged for a few times, but was finally caught by a noose, pulled hard, and the whole person ran like a zombie like a war horse.

Come galloping.

"Let the arrows!" shouted a Liao army.

Hengdao easily swung the arrow away, and flung it out casually.

The horizontal knife swirled and flew over the top of Old Liu's head. He only felt that his scalp was cold, and a strand of long hair fell from the top of his head.

Is the old man dead?
Old Liu Tou was out of his wits, watched the horizontal knife fall, and cut the rope that was holding him.

inserted into the ground.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the inertia drove him to stumble forward, picked up the horizontal knife, jumped up, and killed the Liao army who turned back to check the situation.

But what about the colleague who threw the knife?

Is he not empty-handed?

Old Liu jumped on the back of the horse and turned around.

Wang Lao Er is killing people.

More than a dozen Liao troops were overjoyed to find that he was unarmed, thinking that capturing a general alive would be more creditable.

"One!"

"two!"

One slap after another, and after grabbing a long knife, it turned into a head party.

"Second brother, King Wei's club didn't come, and he has no money, so don't behead him."

Hearing the old thief's shout, Wang Laoer felt very regretful.

"He's a mighty general!" General Liao motioned to withdraw his troops.

The Liao army retreated like a tide.

The two armies faced each other far away.

"It's the Yang character flag!" Liao general asked, "Who is the general named Yang in Tao County?"

"General, among the famous generals in Tao County, there seems to be no one with the surname Yang."

"Is that new?"

"Maybe!"

General Liao said indifferently: "So, let's try it out, and then we can report it later."

Beijiang is constantly collecting information about the generals of the Northern Liao Dynasty, from their names to their fighting styles.After collecting it, analyze and summarize it as a reference for the next encounter.

The same is true for Beiliao.

Unlike Beiliao, in Northern Xinjiang, the status of a general who can command a thousand cavalry will not be low.So General Liao was going to test it out.

He rode out with two horses.

"What do you mean?" Yang Xuan asked curiously.

When the scouts came back, Old Liu bowed his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your rescue."

"Good job!" Yang Xuan praised.

Old Liu looked back, "The Liao army likes to inquire about the generals in northern Xinjiang. This is a test."

"understood."

Yang Xuan said: "Gong Tu, old thief, come with me."

Wang Er Er quit, "Why not me?"

"The old thief is smarter than you." Yang Xuan said with a straight face.

With Tu Chang holding a spear, Yang Xuan felt safe and secure.

As for the old thief, if the other party did something wrong, it would be difficult to avoid his eyes.

Both sides approached.

The Liao general cupped his hands, "Dare to ask your name."

The temptation was straightforward.

"Da Yang."

Yang Da?
General Liao was taken aback.

The names of people in the Tang Dynasty are very messy, and people of some cultures will give their children good names.Uneducated people mostly name them according to their order.

Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San...

As soon as you hear such a name, you know that this person's origin is very simple.

But even if he came from a simple background, he would change his name after becoming a general, otherwise it would be embarrassing to say it.

For example, after seeing the Shangguan, salute and sign up.

"Young officer Yang Da has met Mr. Xianggong."

Yang Da... the name has to be eight thousand if not ten thousand.

Therefore, General Liao was taken aback by this, while slowly swinging his right hand behind his back.

Since he is an unknown general, let him be killed!

As for the sneak attack...the two sides are rivals, if Li Mi and He Lianfeng met before the battle, they would probably find a way to kill their opponents.

The two subordinates were proficient in archery, quietly grasping the longbow with one hand, and carefully took out an arrow from the quiver with the other hand.

At close range, no one can avoid them wherever they dare to point and shoot.

"General Yang is reckless this time." General Liao was running the train with his mouth full, trying to distract Yang Xuan, "Our army is strangling the scouts..."

Ha ha!

Yang Xuan's right hand also swayed slightly behind his back.

The old thief whispered: "You have to do it."

Tu Chang said indifferently: "It's easy to say."

As soon as the words fell, General Liao said with a smile: "So, our army will retreat, and there will be... no time! Let's do it!"

General Liao turned his horse and ran away.

The two subordinates behind him raised their bows and set up their arrows, aiming at Yang Xuan.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the arrow was in front of him.

Hey!
Yang Xuan had been prepared for a long time, but was still taken aback by the rapid speed.

But the old thief was faster and raised his shield to cover it.

One miss and the two masters prepare to flee.

A long gun appeared quietly.

"Stay alive!"

Yang Xuan shouted.

The angle of the spear changed, from stabbing to chopping.

Two Liao troops were knocked off their horses.

Yang Xuan cupped his hands at General Liao, "I was thinking where to get some prisoners to ask for confessions, thank you!"

When General Liao looked back, he couldn't help feeling tight in his chest and abdomen, and a mouthful of old blood rushed to his throat.

This is the initiative to deliver food to your door.

Our own morale plummeted.

General Liao comforted himself, "Fortunately, the Tang army did not attack."

"General be careful!"

Liao will turn around again.

Yang Xuan pulled out the horizontal saber, and said vigorously: "Get some heads for Tao County as a meeting gift!"

"Attack!"

The morale of the enemy army has plummeted. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to attack, you will not be a qualified general.

"This is not an unknown person!" General Liao was chased and killed by 1000 Tang troops alone, and the scene was spectacular.

The Liao army instinctively attacked to rescue its chief general.

In a hurry, the formation is a bit scattered.

"Let the arrows!" After the two sides approached, there was a wave of arrows.

A long spear swung, the arrow bounced off, and then he killed it.

General Liao went all the way back to the central army, turned his horse around in shock, and saw that the Tang army had formed a frontal formation. The leader seemed to be an old man.

"Formation!" General Liao yelled, but the formation was in disarray at this moment...

If he was there at the beginning, he would change his formation according to Tang Jun's front arrow formation.But at this moment, Tang Jun has already come in, what has changed?
A change is a mistake, and the only way is to fight a chaotic war.

After fighting for a while, General Liao realized that he was no match for Chaos.

With the old man as the core, the opponent rushed from left to right, wherever the Liao army was tyrannical, they would attack wherever they were, and then charged when they got down.

If the beginning is messy, the follow-up will not be able to take shape.

General Liao sighed, "Withdraw!"

The Liao army showed extremely high quality when retreating, and the troops behind them fought back desperately, providing the main force with a chance to complete the team.Immediately, the main force of the Liao army retreated calmly.

"It's not easy to pursue!" Yang Xuan called out to his subordinates, and squinted at the Liao army going away, "It's a strong enemy."

……

In Jiedushi's mansion, Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du were drinking tea in a duty room.

"Liu Sima has had a hard time recently." Zhang Du was darker and stronger than before.

Jiang Cunzhong looked more stable, took a sip of tea, and savored it comfortably, "Marching Sima is an important position that Xianggong personally took action to recruit and His Majesty personally approved. This position has many duties, and it can be called Xianggong's. The arm...what Liu Sima manages is taken from other people's hands."

Zhang Du said dissatisfiedly: "That is the decision of my husband."

"But Xianggong's prestige is too high, anyone else would turn his anger on Liu Sima."

Jiang Cunzhong said flatly: "The officialdom is the battlefield."

In the past, one person had one radish pit, but now a newcomer came, one guy took up many pit positions, and everyone else became his subordinates, who would want it?
People are like this, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, the sweet power in your hands is suddenly divided a lot, and there is an extra mother-in-law on your head, how can you swallow that breath without a run?

"After Liu Sima took office, he became ruthless and arrested many officials." Zhang Du felt that the old Liu was too ruthless, which angered many people in Tao County.

"Of course he can start weakly and grind slowly." Jiang Cunzhong put down his teacup, "But Mr. Xiang couldn't wait."

"You mean..."

"Young Master's health won't last for a few years. It would be good if Liu Sima followed the officialdom, and slowly dissipated those dissatisfaction. But if Xiang Gong suddenly quit... Deputy Liao's prestige is not as good as Xiang Gong's. Liu Sima is still killing the hostility of Tao County officials... With such a combination, do you think it is possible to take over Northern Xinjiang?"

"So it is!" Zhang Du suddenly realized, "But this also angered many officials. If Liu Sima doesn't deal with it properly, he will end badly."

"This is raising Gu, do you understand?" Jiang Cunzhong said quietly: "What Xianggong didn't like the most before was using the method of raising Gu to sharpen his subordinates, but now he turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, which shows that he cares about his body. Not very optimistic."

Raising Gu means throwing several poisonous insects into a jar to kill each other, and the last poisonous insect that survives is the poison king.

Zhang Du smiled wryly, "Those people fought endlessly with Liu Sima, and some people said that Zitai was single-handedly picked up by Liu Sima..."

"It's a disaster for the fish in the pond." Zhang Du scolded, "Is this for the barbarians or what?"

"The struggle in the officialdom, the barbarian tribes don't let go of their hatred." Jiang Cunzhong said: "Liu Sima used the arrest of corrupt officials to frighten the officials, and those people in turn used such methods to deal with Zitai."

"Zitai is not corrupt, is he?"

"That's why you can only be a general, not a civil servant, otherwise you don't know how you will die sooner or later."

"Old Jiang, what you said is a bit too much!"

"Others say you are corrupt, but you are not corrupt."

"Yes!"

"They said, you have to prove yourself."

"Why didn't they testify?"

"Haven't heard of rumors?"

"Fuck!"

"Even if you prove yourself successful, those few people still know about you. There will still be rumors about your corruption outside. The more rumors are spread, the more outrageous they become, and the more rumors are spread, the worse your reputation will be."

"This is shameless!"

"Correct."

Zhang Du scratched his head, "How should Zitai respond?"

"It's best to show weakness, to prove yourself calmly, and those who are clear will clear themselves." Jiang Cunzhong sighed: "Many times, it is not a good thing to have a loud voice."

"If good things don't go out, bad things will spread thousands of miles." Zhang Du knows this truth.

Someone trotted in from outside.

"There is a military situation!"

Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du rushed out.

The sergeant entered the duty room.

"Sir, the scouts found the Liao army."

"How many people?" Huang Chunhui was discussing with Liao Jin and Liu Qing.

"I found more than a thousand, but I don't know if there will be more in the future."

"This is a surprise attack." Liao Jin didn't take it seriously when he heard the number, "If the surprise attack fails, it becomes a harassment, so everyone should be more careful."

"Crops!" Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids, "This year's situation is good, so farmers are willing to plant the land. If it is destroyed, who will be willing to cultivate it next year?"

The men and horses of Beiliao can shuttle between the various cities in northern Xinjiang, raid villages and burn crops.

This was a huge blow to morale.

"The scouts are good." Liu Qing praised.

"That's right." Huang Chunhui's words represented a commendation, old Liu and the others were blessed.

"My lord, the scout was besieged and killed by the enemy army. Fortunately, the envoy Yang of Chenzhou led the army to pass by and defeated the enemy army."

"Oh! The old man remembers that he was asked to bring 1000 people here? He was able to defeat more than [-] Northern Liao troops. It's a good job." Huang Chunhui was very pleased.

Liu Qing's eyes were calm, "Yang Xuan is impatient, sir."

Huang Chunhui glanced at him, "The old man knows."

How would Yang Xuan react when someone dumped a basin of feces for no reason?
"I'm afraid there will be no peace these few days." Liao Jin smiled wryly.

As soon as Yang Xuan came, he would definitely roar Tao County.

Confront those officials who say he is corrupt.

Then get out after venting.

Huang Chunhui said indifferently: "This old man also thinks that the northern border is like a monolith, helping each other in the same boat. But after many years of officialdom, this old man has seen many such conflicts. They are everywhere."

Those who dream of peace and tranquility are fools, and those who dream of peace and tranquility are madmen.

"This matter has nothing to do with him." Liu Qing suppressed his anger, "Those people came after the old man, but they involved him."

Liao Jin shook his head, thinking that Liu Qing's thinking was too beautiful, "Community is the secret of official struggle."

Huang Chunhui coughed a few times, and waved his hands under the concerned gazes of the two deputies, indicating that he was fine.

He took a sip of hot tea and said flatly, "Old Liu."

"Yes." Liu Qing sat up straight.

"Do you know why this old man sits and watches you being besieged?"

"The lower officer knows."

"Northern Xinjiang is a giant, with countless soldiers and civilians. The front is a great enemy, and the back...is also an opponent. In this situation, if you want to stand out in Northern Xinjiang, you have to go through these trials."

"Yes."

Liao Jin said: "Your Majesty has suffered so much over the years, but after going through all these hardships, your prestige in northern Xinjiang has grown even higher."

Huang Chunhui nodded, "If you want to be a high-ranking official in a stable manner, you can do it in other places, in northern Xinjiang... I will not reuse such an official."

Liao Jin said indifferently: "The delicate flowers that have not been blown by the wind and rain are delicate flowers. They cannot withstand the cold wind in northern Xinjiang, and they will wither sooner or later. Rather than wait for it to wither later, it is better to send it to a place as warm as spring early. "

Liu Qing knew this truth, and he was willing to accept these trials.

But after replacing Yang Xuan, he couldn't sit still.

The atmosphere was a little gloomy.

Liao Jin smiled and said: "I don't know what Yang Xuan is thinking at the moment. When he enters the city, he feels like he is in the mouth of a tiger, and he feels palpitations."

"Ask." Huang Chunhui was also quite interested.

Before he sent someone to investigate, someone came to report.

"Sir, Mr. Yang of Chenzhou has entered the city."

The three looked at each other.

Sheep into tiger's mouth?

"Is he furious?"

"No, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Yang Shijun ordered people to drag a bunch of heads into the city, bloody."
