retaliate

Chapter 405
Zhou Zun's son-in-law?
The emperor glanced at Yang Songcheng.

There was more clarity in his eyes.

It seems that the conflict between the state-father and Zhou Zun is not small, so that Zhou Zun brought his son-in-law with him.

It's not bad to go to battle Weng and his son-in-law.

Yang Xuan... The emperor thought for a while, and yesterday's conversation came to mind.

If it wasn't for that young man, Liang Jing and the others would have returned without success during this mission to Beiliao.

alert.

Be brave!

Moreover, he still has friendship with the brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine, even if he deliberately wants to get rid of it, he still can't get rid of it.

In this way, I will add another fire!

Thinking of this, the emperor said, "But Yang Xuan, governor of Chenzhou?"

Zhou Zun nodded, "Yes."

The emperor is gone.

Yang Songcheng glanced at Zhou Zun.

Zhou Zun was indifferent.

I am the speaker of the Zhou family, not your vassal of Yang Songcheng.

There is something to say, don't use such methods of beating... Is this old man your subordinate?

The emperor smiled and said, "That young man did a great job in the Northern Liao Dynasty, and I like it very much."

Gee!
Luo Cai felt that the air was filled with flames, and the emperor kept adding firewood.

He stood up without hesitation, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient to send troops in winter. I think that we can first mobilize food, grass and luggage, and consider it slowly."

Lao Luo wanted to persuade the fight.

Yang Songcheng glanced at Zhou Zun, "What does Minister Zhou think?"

He didn't want to beat Zhou Zun either, but the recent news of gathering was not good, the families below were a little dissatisfied, and felt that everyone's life had become worse and worse in the past one or two years.

These people almost pointed to Yang Songcheng's nose and asked: How did you, the guide, lead the way? Why did you go astray.

At this time, what he should do is to prepare with both hands.

With one hand, he led everyone back onto the Kangzhuang Avenue.

One hand is to beat the disobedient family in the small group.

Zhou Zun smiled, "It doesn't matter to the old man."

The problem was thrown to Yang Songcheng.

Yang Songcheng took a deep breath.

The emperor had been looking at him, and suddenly said: "The young man is still in Chang'an, come and call him into the palace."

Luo Cai sighed and sat down without saying a word.

The emperor wanted to watch the fun, so he had no choice.

The young man was still involved in this maelstrom, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Yang Songcheng sat down.

Zheng Qi glanced at him.

Yang Songcheng shook his head slightly, indicating that this matter is appropriate.

Most people think that the Southern Zhou Dynasty was vulnerable. If it hadn't been restrained by the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would have already destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, when Zhou Zun said that Yang Xuan did not agree with this theory of quick victory, in the eyes of Yang Songcheng and others, this was the young man's words to flatter his father-in-law and grandstanding.

The so-called, the words are not shocking and endless, that is what it means.

But, this is a state matter!

Zhou Zun pulled Yang Xuan in under his persecution, which shows that there is no plan.Once Yang Xuan loses his mind... his official career will inevitably be bleak.

Young man, it's not a bad thing to spend a few more years down here!

As for Zhou Zun.

Yang Songcheng glanced at him, knowing that this person would be ashamed afterwards.

Don't tear your face apart, so the old man will have to come forward to ease the atmosphere later.

After leaving the Yamen, Zhou Zun was invited to drink and confided his heart to his heart. In this way, he had enough face and face.

As for Yang Xuan.

The young man was always entangled with the brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine, and helped the brothers and sisters through difficulties twice.

No matter whether he is intentional or not, he should take action to suppress, kill the chicken... as a warning to the monkey!
Yang Xuan was sorting out Zhou Ning's medical books at home, packing up the things she had been talking about for a long time, and preparing to take them back after the court meeting.

Then he was taken away by the servant.

"Your nobleman." Yang Xuan began to make friends when he went out.

The servant said indifferently: "There are many things, don't inquire about them."

"Hehe! I don't want to ask." Yang Xuan smiled and said, "The weather is nice recently!"

"good."

The sky is full of haze, where is it okay?

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "The middle-aged and nobles are wearing thin clothes. Although they are physically strong, they have to take care of themselves so that they can serve His Majesty."

A silver coin slipped past without a sound.

The cuffs accurately caught the silver.

"The head of the state and Zhou Shilang are fighting for the front, and it involves the conquest of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Shilang mentioned you."

"Thank you."

What the hell is going on with the old man, he actually met Yang Songcheng.

Until outside the main hall, Yang Xuan glanced inside.

Very solemn, against the background of the emperor on the throne is particularly majestic.

Somehow, Yang Xuan thought of the article about the emperor's new clothes.

"Come with us."

After entering the main hall, Yang Xuan saluted and glanced at the old man.

Zhou Zun looked as usual.

Han Shitou said on behalf of the emperor: "We discussed the matter of attacking the Southern Zhou Dynasty earlier. Zhou Shilang said that you mentioned that you should not underestimate the enemy. Your Majesty summoned you, so you should explain it carefully."

Mr. Xiao Lang is really calm and demeanor.

After Han Shitou finished speaking majestically, he glanced at Yang Xuan, and the joy in his heart was almost overflowing.

As soon as Yang Xuan heard this, he took a look at Yang Songcheng.

It seems that Yang Songcheng agrees with the theory of quick victory.

Yang Xuan said: "Before I went to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I also had the idea that the Tang Dynasty could defeat the Southern Zhou Dynasty in a single battle. But I have been wondering... If the Southern Zhou Dynasty can be defeated in a battle, how did they spend these years?" ?”

"It's just Datang being kind!" Someone slapped the emperor with a rainbow fart.

Everyone loves to hear this.

Monarchs and ministers are a little drunk.

Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "I want to ask, is this battle dominated by the Southern Border Army?"

Yang Songcheng nodded, "It should be so."

The two major military groups of the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Frontier Army had to guard against the Northern Liao Dynasty, and it was impossible to go south on a large scale.Therefore, there is only the Southern Border Army.

Why did Zitai ask this?
Zhou Zun frowned slightly.

Is the old man... a little anxious?

He regrets it a little.

Yang Xuan cupped his hands and looked at the crowd slowly.

"The southern Xinjiang rebel army was supported by Nan Zhou and sent generals to practice. It has been more than two years since the outbreak? Has the Southern Xinjiang army ever wiped out the rebels?"

what!
Zhou Zun pinched his beard and was overjoyed.

Yang Xuan looked at Yang Songcheng, "If you dare to ask the head of the country, you can't produce your own weapons and armor, and there are no mobs commanded by famous generals. The Southern Border Army has not been able to wipe out the army for more than two years. Then, facing the behemoth of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, who dares to say that it will be defeated in one battle?" Win? Who dares to say... can easily win?"

Zhou Zun coughed dryly, "This old man thinks it makes sense."

Yang Songcheng said indifferently: "How can the rebels occupy the mountain and be defeated in one battle? If the rebels dared to fight our army head-on, they would have already turned into flying smoke."

"Hey! He was cremated!" Suzaku said.

Yang Xuan felt that Datang had underestimated Nan Zhou for too long.

If he hadn't read the history of Song Dynasty in another world, he would really feel that the Southern Zhou Dynasty was vulnerable.

In another world, the Liao Kingdom felt that the Song Dynasty was weak and could be killed with a single stick.

Then the Liao Kingdom disappeared.

Jin Guo felt that Da Song was a waste material, and he could easily win.

Jin Guo, gone.

The seemingly weak Song Dynasty survived the mighty Liao Kingdom, the mighty Jin Kingdom, and almost Mongolia...

The situation in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty were very similar. If the Great Tang wanted to win quickly, it would only be a failure.

"I was sent as an envoy to the Southern Zhou Dynasty and experienced fighting. It is a fact that the morale of Yecheng's defenders is low, but after blocking the attacks of the rebels a few times, they are rapidly maturing."

They are all human, so why should others be weak forever?
"I personally commanded the defenders of Yecheng. I dare to say that under certain circumstances, the soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty would change. The threat of subjugation is one of them."

Zheng Qi knew it was time to stand up.

"The Southern Zhou Dynasty used culture to control military forces, the army had no fighting spirit, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit."

"When I was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I saw with my own eyes the soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty who died generously, without any fear."

Zheng Qi said again: "The Jingtai spy once reported that the Southern Zhou army's drills were mediocre."

Yang Xuan said: "The so-called mediocrity in training means lack of energy. Once a battle starts, after a few battles, no matter how mediocre a sergeant is, he will become an old soldier."

Zheng Qi obviously couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhou Zun glanced at his son-in-law and thought to himself, people say that a son-in-law is half the size, and now Weng and his son-in-law are fighting side by side in the court, so there is such a tacit understanding.

What made him even more happy was that his son-in-law stood on the court and talked eloquently and calmly.Facing Zheng Qi, one of the six ministers, he had the upper hand.

Back then, the son-in-law was right!
"Who can prove it?"

Yang Songcheng said, "What Yang Shijun said, the old man just listened to speculation. This is not good, that is inappropriate. So, what do you use to prove it?"

Zheng Qi sighed: "Yes! Say it, anyone will say it, but this is a national war, not a refutation! This reminds me of the Imperial College."

"Hahahaha!"

There was a teasing chuckle in the hall.

Those Taoist disciples who locked themselves in the Imperial College!
They like to argue the most, and they can argue for a long time on any topic.

If Emperor Wu hadn't stretched out his hand back then, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed long ago!
what!
Someone thought of something.

"Yang Shijun... seems to be from the Imperial Academy, right?"

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Yang Songcheng nodded slightly.

The Imperial College's reputation...Yang Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, "Of course there is proof."

"Who?" Zheng Qi stared at Yang Xuan and asked.

"The lower official led three hundred riders from Zuo Wuwei to escort the King of Guangling to seal him. There were some twists and turns on the road, and the lower official led the three hundred riders into the Luoluo Kingdom until the Luoluo Kingdom's capital..."

Yang Xuan looked at Yang Songcheng, "This is the proof."

Yang Songcheng smiled, "Your Majesty, I invite the relevant generals of Zuo Wuwei to come and ask questions."

The emperor nodded, "Yes!"

The matter of King Guangling is a taboo topic in the royal family. After he was captured by Yang Xuan, the matter was suppressed.

Zheng Qi smiled and said, "Shijun Yang has been in northern Xinjiang for several years, what do you think of southern Xinjiang?"

This battle will be dominated by the Southern Border Army. Yang Xuan insisted that the enemy should not be underestimated, so he meant to underestimate the Southern Border Army.

This provocation was powerful, and Zhou Zun said indifferently: "It is the duty of a courtier to mention the war in the Southern Zhou Dynasty when the governor of Northern Xinjiang mentions it. As for the situation in Southern Xinjiang, that is something that civil and military officials in Southern Xinjiang should talk about."

With a slap, the question was drawn back.

Above the court hall, there was some silence.

"Your Majesty, Captain Luo Bing of Zuo Wuwei is here."

This was Luo Bing's first time entering the court, and he didn't dare to raise his head, restrained like a little daughter-in-law.

"Luo Bing." Zheng Qi said, "Last time, Yang Shijun of Chenzhou took you to escort the King of Guangling, so what about the [-] riders?"

Luo Bing said: "At the beginning, I thought I had a high opinion of myself as an official."

Zheng Qi glanced at Yang Songcheng.

"After King Guangling fled far away, Mr. Yang led us to pursue him all the way and entered the country of Luoluo."

"In the first battle, we encountered a small tribe of barbarians. Three hundred riders were full of confidence, but they were defeated..."

This is real feedback from the bottom.

Did the three hundred riders lose to a small tribe of barbarians?
The ministers looked solemn.

"Fortunately, the guards brought by Mr. Yang were able to defeat the barbarians."

Yang Xuan smiled.

"Then Yang Shijun said that if Zuo Wuwei went on like this, he was no different from a watchdog, so he began to train us."

Watchdog!
All the monarchs and ministers have heard of this title, but no one cares.

After the government military system was corrupted, they couldn't care less.

"Just practiced all the way to the capital of Luoluo, and competed with Emperor Luoluo's guards in martial arts."

Yang Songcheng and Zheng Qi looked at each other.

Luo Bing raised his head, "Yang Shijun personally taught the method of battle. On that day, Luoluo's imperial guards lined up four hundred elites, and the minister was uneasy. He vowed to defend the dignity of the Tang Dynasty to the death, but a battle..."

At this moment, recalling the mood at that time, Luo Bing still felt a little dreamy.He glanced at Yang Xuan, "I'll defeat Luoluo's elite in a battle."

He took a deep breath, "After returning, my department performed in Zuo Wuwei, and it was the best for a while."

The former grass chicken, the watchdog, after Yang Xuan's training, went from losing to the small Loro barbarian tribe to defeating the Loro elite. This change can be said to be reborn.

The watchdog of the Tang Dynasty could become an elite under Yang Xuan's training, then, would those soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty be reborn in the war?
Who dares to say no? !

Yang Xuan saw the satisfaction in the emperor's eyes, and he knew the whole thing clearly.

Today Yang Songcheng took the lead in beating Zhou Zun and recommended him to go out with the army.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zun launched a counterattack, opposing the theory of quick victory over the Southern Zhou Dynasty that currently occupies the mainstream trend of thought.

——In southern Xinjiang, there is Yang Songcheng's son-in-law and his grandson.It is a recognized fact that Nan Zhou was weak, if he said that this battle was difficult, it would be a slap in the face of his son-in-law and grandson.

Therefore, Yang Songcheng is the most staunch supporter of the theory of quick victory.

This slap was a bit harsh, so Yang Songcheng fought back.

Without further ado, Zhou Zun pushed his son-in-law out.

For Yang Xuan, the court is a bit unfamiliar, but it does not prevent him from knowing from many sources that at the moment, party struggle is the main contradiction in the court.

Yang Song became the head of the aristocratic family, the emperor headed the imperial party, and the left equals who were biased towards the emperor formed a balance of power.

Over the years, they have long been used to not judging right or wrong when encountering things, but whether they are beneficial to themselves.

No one is thinking about the specific affairs, no one cares about the undercurrents that are gradually surging, so that the guards in Chang'an have become watchdogs, and there are more and more refugees...

For major events such as the war in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, these people still benefited themselves according to the usual practice.

Yang Songcheng's son-in-law and grandson are in southern Xinjiang, so he wants to get the most benefits.

But his biggest problem is that he still speculates and thinks about this matter according to the way he used to do things in the past.

However, in the past, it was a party struggle and a literary matter.

This is martial arts.

I really thought martial arts were that simple.

Do you really think martial arts is about sitting in a temple and strategizing, winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away?

That is a famous general!

Only famous generals who have spent most of their lives fighting on the battlefield dare to say so.

How dare you wait for a group of people who have never seen a battle formation?
Then.

Let me slap your old face hard today!

In total silence, Yang Xuan cupped his hands, "Chen, please leave."
