Chapter 728 Ambition and Means

Yang Xuance turned his horse around.

There was no sound in the city, only the hooves of his horses.

Very lonely, but also very arrogant.

As soon as Yang Xuan lifted the reins, the horsemen stood up.

He pointed to the top of the city and laughed aloud.

"Hahahaha!"

The war horse spun around in place, the hooves hit the ground, and then galloped forward.

This equestrian skill can be called superb.

The city was stunned for a long time before someone scolded: "Yang dog!"

Yang Xuan was surrounded by Lin Feibao and Zhang Xu to more than two hundred riders.

More than two hundred riders spread out a passage, let him rush over, and then followed closely.

Not many people.

A sergeant at the top of the wall murmured: "Why do I have the feeling of facing thousands of troops? I'm a little scared."

An old soldier took a look and saw that the Shangguan was not nearby, so he said: "That's Yang Gou! He is both civil and military, unparalleled in literary talent, and his martial arts are world-class. He alone can surpass a hundred thousand troops."

"One hundred thousand troops, isn't that an exaggeration?" Someone objected.

The old pawn looked at him with the eyes of "this old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and this old man has walked more bridges than you have walked on", and said lightly, "Does Princess Changling know?"

"Of course I know!"

"How many so-called great talents in Ningxing want to please the princess, but do you think the princess has ever looked at those people more?" The old soldier sighed: "The old man once saw the princess by chance, beautiful! Beautiful!
Such a beauty and talent naturally look down on those people.But she has a lot of love for Yang Gou.If Yang Gou's talent hadn't impressed her, do you think the princess would bow down for her opponent? "

The city was silent.

Yang Gou, whom even his own people bow down for, is here.

……

Yang Xuan returned with his men and horses, the camp had already been set up in half.

The infantry arrived later, along with the captives.

That is, the Northern Xinjiang Engineering Corps.

Yang Xuan stood on the edge of the camp, looking at Nangui City.

"...Before I came, I asked the widow Luo." He Lianyan said: "She said that Nangui City is quite solid and has been repaired many times. The guard once said that Nangui City should be turned into a city that will never fall."

"Why is she willing to tell you this?" Yang Xuan asked.

The widow Luo is a special existence in the Yang family. If you want to say that it is wrong for her to surrender, she still maintains an aloof attitude towards Yang Xuan.It's not right for you to ask her not to surrender, because the Yang family has no defense against her - she can leave whenever she wants.

There is monthly money every month, which she keeps for herself.No one cares about going out, or even going out of the city. If you want to go, just get a horse.

But the widow Luo never left.

"I said that if this battle fails, the life of the lord in Taoxian will be difficult. The life of the lord will be difficult, and her life will also be difficult. I also said that Nanguicheng does not like her, no, it is the whole Beiliao doesn't have a good impression of her, and they all feel that this woman is ominous."

He Lianyan was quite curious, "Isn't Mr. Lang afraid of her?"

"Why are you afraid of her?" Yang Xuan squinted at Nangui City, thinking about some details of the battle.

He Lianyan's chest trembled with a smile, "That woman is ominous!"

"If a person is vicious, even God is afraid!" Yang Xuan smiled.

This gentleman!
Really bold and uninhibited.

However, if this is not the case, how can my mother be willing to work for him?

He Lianyan couldn't help smiling when she saw Jiang He'er squatting beside him, as if she had caught a bird and was teasing it happily.

Then she saw Suo Yun and Lan Jian, the leaders of the captives.

just avoid.

"Meet the Deputy Envoy!"

Suo Yun and Lan Jian knelt down, and Suo Yun held Yang Xuan's boots and kissed reverently.

Yang Xuan couldn't bear this kindness, mainly because he wasn't used to having other people's saliva on his boots... so he said, "It's been a hard journey, so it's good to rest."

"It's not hard." Suo Yun raised his head, his eyes were full of admiration, "The villain has rectified this time, and the deputy envoy just gives orders, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, they dare to break through."

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, gently touched the top of Suoyun's head, and said gently: "Okay!"

Seeing that Suo Yun's eyes turned red, He Lianyan's tears gradually pooled, and he choked up unbearably, "The villain is willing to be the assistant envoy Yinggou."

Yang Xuan nodded, Suo Yun was overjoyed, and got up to leave.

He Lianyan came over, "Suo Yun is rebellious in his bones."

"I know, but no matter how unruly a person is, there are ways to deal with him." Yang Xuan said flatly.

Helianyan smiled coquettishly, "I have accepted this before."

This coquettish fox...Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "It's a bunch of nonsense."

"Yes." Helian Yanfu turned her body, deliberately imitating Zhang Siniang's method, and twisted her buttocks.

It didn't take long before Boss Yang's voice came, "Let's have a lighter dinner!"

So his supper was light.

Light food will digest quickly, Yang Xuan took a piece of cake after dinner, and paced with Ning Yayun.

Under the setting sun, the two walked slowly.

"How does the headmaster feel about that place?"

Yang Xuan found a site for Metaphysics in the city, and Ning Yayun went to see it, and brought a few professors from Chenzhou who were good at layout to study together for a long time.

"It's good, it's just that the water is a little smaller." Ning Yayun flicked her tail, looking enjoying, not knowing what he was enjoying, "Without water, there is no aura!"

"How about leading a river?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Okay! But, will it be too troublesome?" Ning Yayun was delighted.

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "What's the trouble, take your time!"

This is to make my metaphysics teacher and student a coolie... Ning Yayun coughed dryly, "After all, it's too extravagant, it's inappropriate!"

Those clubs, if they were allowed to do coolies again, no one would dare to touch his guard's room and burn his zither with a fire.

Yang Xuan asked seriously: "Really don't want it?"

"Resolutely not!" Ning Yayun's attitude was very firm.

Hey!
Yang Xuan felt a little regretful... the water sources in the city were somewhat uneven. He planned to carry out a north-to-east water diversion project, but the project was not small.Those gentlemen of metaphysics are so powerful, if they are willing to make a move, tsk tsk!

Pity!
Boss Yang was very sorry, and Ning Yayun was worried that he would continue this topic, so she smiled and said, "Why do you need this old man for this expedition?"

"Nanguicheng doesn't need to teach this sledgehammer, it can do everything! It's not afraid of outsiders, but afraid of internal traitors." Yang Xuan said meaningfully.

"You mean the interior of Northern Xinjiang?"

"Correct."

"Your attitude towards the wealthy family is not very good recently, and even the Huang family has been confiscated. Those people... If they communicate with Beiliao, won't they worry that their home will be ransacked by Beiliao after the destruction of Beijiang?"

Yang Xuan smiled, "You look up to them, but also look down on them."

Ning Yayun smiled, "How should I say this?"

Lao Ning is good at everything, but he has been imprisoned in the Imperial College for many years, and he is not sensitive enough to many things in the outside world.

"The reason why I think highly of them is that this group of people only have their own interests in their eyes. As for Northern Xinjiang, when the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, they will shout Long Live the Tang Dynasty, with a loyal look on their faces. But once the Tang Dynasty is in power, Declining, they don't say they're worried, they're ecstatic..."

"Why?"

"The decline of the country will inevitably be accompanied by the collapse of the government, which is just convenient for them to take action...

Over the years, how much land has been annexed by the tyrants in northern Xinjiang?

Let’s talk about the Huang family. A lot of things were found in the confiscation of the family property. In 20 years, the Huang family’s fields have grown from more than a thousand acres to more than ten thousand acres.

It can be said that the Huang family made its fortune in these 20 years.Therefore, you have overestimated the integrity of the tyrannical. "

Ning Yayun nodded, "Human nature is ugly after all."

"It's still human nature to say that you underestimated them." Yang Xuan pointed to the left, where there was a bunch of flowers, and the two walked to the side to enjoy the flowers in the sunset.

"People's desires will expand. When a person and a family have a certain level of wealth, in the eyes of him and his family, the country is a carrier, and he and his family just live on this carrier. So you can say Understand?"

Ning Yayun nodded, "It's like a blood-sucking leech."

Snapped!
Yang Xuan clapped his hands, "It's exactly the leech you mentioned. When this carrier is sucked so weak and bullied by outsiders, they will throw this carrier away without hesitation and invest in a new carrier..."

"No king, no father, no country...a family." Ning Yayun looked at the flowers with her hands behind her back, "What is the use of so much money? Can it still be taken to the grave?"

Lao Ning is really a person who does not eat fireworks in the world... Yang Xuan smiled, "Greed is human nature, and I am also greedy. If I hadn't had a goal, I would have made Yuanzhou Ramen bigger and stronger when I was in Chang'an. Greedy like blood-sucking leeches..."

"It's not bad to be the richest man in Tang Dynasty!" Ning Yayun jokingly said.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "It's good to be the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, but in order to protect my huge family property, I have to find a backer for myself. Why can Kelishan help you? The only way is to give up some of the business and use it to bribe the backer."

"Are you willing?" Ning Yayun smiled.

"After all, it's not bad to be able to keep part of the family property. However, according to my temperament, if I get to this point, I will either win over a group of officials, or go into battle naked, or I will take the road of becoming an official."

"It's not easy."

"Who says it's not!" Yang Xuan was really filled with emotion, "So I understand the minds of powerful people."

"If they heard what you said, they would feel chills running down their spines, and they would either rely on you, or they would have to fight you."

"I'm not that cruel." Yang Xuan smiled 'shyly', successfully disgusting Ning Yayun.

"A-Ning was humiliated by someone. The old man told me why you don't move. Tell me." Ning Yayun felt that she couldn't talk about human nature with Yang Xuan, otherwise she would be disgusted by him.

"That's not a big deal." Yang Xuan said calmly: "It's just food, is there any in Chenzhou? Is there no Taiping?
To be honest, I have been afraid of being hungry since I was a child, so I like to store food.

Since arriving in Taiping, I have tried everything possible to collect food.It's the same in Chenzhou...

The amount of stored food is not small, and if you just transfer some of it, it will hurt the faces of those powerful people. "

"Then why do you just sit and watch?" Ning Yayun was puzzled, most likely puzzled in her heart, worried that Yang Xuan's attitude towards Zhou Ning had changed.But last time he asked An Ziyu, An Ziyu said that the relationship between the couple is good!
That being the case, why did Yang Xuan sit back and watch Zhou Ning get slapped in the face?

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I have something to say."

"Tell me." Ning Yayun was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Ning's family.

Yang Xuan leaned over to pick a flower, put it under his nose to smell it, and said comfortably: "Originally outsiders called me a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, but in Chenzhou, if I say a word, the Chenzhou army will obey without thinking.

But the Northern Border Army is different. The Chenzhou Army is a local army, and the Northern Border Army is the elite directly under the Jiedushi, so they are naturally superior.

It was okay when the two sides cooperated in the past, but when I arrived in Tao County, the first thing I wanted to do was to gather the Northern Border Army..."

He glanced at Ning Yayun.

Ning Yayun said indifferently: "Why, are you worried that the old man will spread your rebellious words? The old man said that you are a high-ranking person. Just by looking at you, the old man knows that you are full of disobedience. Said Bar!"

Ha ha!

"I have never been able to find a chance to make a move." Yang Xuan smiled awkwardly, "The Huang family made a move. To be honest, I was overjoyed! The Huang family was rectified, and by the way, the Chenzhou army was used to frighten the Northern Xinjiang army. This is the first step." .

Samurai!To completely subdue them, the only way is on the battlefield.

But in the great war, although it was a victory, everyone in northern Xinjiang was shouting for peace to come, and they only wanted to live in peace for a while. If I go out at this time...

Let's talk about this expedition!Many soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang were dissatisfied, saying that I am a military force! "

"You talked for a while, and it has something to do with Aning's matter?" Ning Yayun said dissatisfied.

"Of course." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "As the deputy envoy of Jiedu, I need this battle to subdue the lieutenant soldiers. But I need a reason!

Now those people call me militaristic, but when I break through Nangui City and return with a mountain of money and food, Master, what will happen to those soldiers and civilians? "

"Say you are wise." Ning Yayun sighed.

Yang Xuan smiled, "There are more."

"Anything else?" Ning Yayun covered her forehead.

"Of course, otherwise, how can it be worthwhile for me to go to war in person?" Yang Xuan picked up the flowers, and the flowers bloomed brilliantly under the setting sun.

Yang Xuan smiled innocently, "This time those tyrants manipulated the price of grain, and those grain merchants even took the opportunity to make a fortune. This money can be regarded as a national calamity... to slap your face. Teacher, do you think Do you think I'm a magnanimous person?"

Ning Yayun shook her head, "If you are magnanimous, the old man will do nothing."

Your analogy is really appropriate...Yang Xuan smiled, "When I threw a huge amount of food..."

Ning Yayun's eyelids jumped wildly, "God, why did those people offend you! You smashed the price of food like this..."

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Think about the common people."

Ning Yayun had already thought of it, "The people will be ecstatic, and their attitude towards you will suddenly change."

"Next time I go to war, tell me, what will happen to the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang?" Yang Xuan twirled the flowers between his fingers.

Ning Yayun looked at him carefully, with a serious expression, "Next time you go on an expedition, the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang will look forward to following you to obtain something, will look forward to it, and will be happy...

Zitai, in the eyes of this old man, you are a proper minister of authority... When you continue to manage Beijiang like this, when you want to do something, how will the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang choose?This world! "

Ning Yayun was in some pain, "Promise me, don't let ambition burn your conscience."

"I'm not that kind of person." Yang Xuan smiled innocently.

"But your method... The world only sees that you want to vent your anger for Aning, but they can't see the plan behind you, the plan against people's hearts. No, it is against human nature. You take advantage of the loopholes of people's greed and control Beibei step by step. Xinjiang army and civilians. Such means..."

Ning Yayun looked at him, "This is the emperor's method!"

Yang Xuan raised his hand, "I swear, I will live up to Tang in this life!"

Ning Yayun relaxed, and said with a smile: "No wonder you dare to tell the old man about this plan."

"I'll tell you too." Yang Xuan smiled.

Ning Yayun hesitated for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder, "Are you so relieved, old man?"

Yang Xuan said: "There are not many people in this world who deserve my complete trust, and you are one of them."

Ning Yayun's eyes were slightly warm, "The old man knows."

Lao Ning trusts +1.
