retaliate

Chapter 829

The army retreated.

Along the way, the morale of the soldiers was high, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "The soldiers have won the battle, and there is a surge of joy in their chests, so don't be too restrained.

Order, 5000 people in a group, ten people in a group, grab the sheep!Whoever sends the sheep to me will be rewarded with [-] renminbi. "

When the military order is issued, the whole army cheers.Then, 5000 people are selected as a group to select the best players.

The sheep is a strong fat sheep.

Nan He put the fat sheep in the middle, and hurried to run away.

Immediately, smoke and dust billowed in the middle!
Yang Xuan watched with a smile, "Cao Ying!"

"exist!"

Cao Yingce stepped forward immediately.

"Let's go."

The two left the brigade, with only Qiu Longwei's people behind them.

"You have been with me for many years. To be honest, you have been there all the way, ups and downs, and I am used to you."

The lord has several attitudes towards his courtiers, those who can be used, those who cannot be used but must be used.

Then it is divided into several types, those who are superior by ability, and those who are superior by affection.

Cao Ying is an old man who followed Yang Xuan, and can be said to be the first batch of heroes who follow the dragon.

However, he has gradually fallen behind over the years.

He has introspected and knows that his temper is bad.

"You are good at handling political affairs. What do you need to deal with political affairs? Magnificence!" Yang Xuan glanced at him, "Only being a ruler can convince his subordinates with greatness. Otherwise, even if you are talented, your subordinates will still dissatisfied."

Cao Ying thought of her experiences over the years, and she couldn't help feeling sour, and felt like crying.

"Yes, the old man is aware of his faults, and he is a bit bitter... If he hadn't given up on him, he would have been obliterated by now."

"It's impossible to be obliterated." Yang Xuan smiled, "I said before, you are an old man."

The gentleman is very affectionate... Cao Ying thought of Yiniang. When he saw Yiniang last time, he saw that the steward next to Zhou Ning was quite respectful to her.

"It's the old man who failed the high expectations of your lord."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Yang Xuan glanced at him. After all, he was an old man who followed him all the way. After leaving him behind, he always felt that something was missing.

"Yanbei City is very important. It guards the southern gate of Tanzhou. It can warn, intercept, and cut off the enemy's rear. It can make Tanzhou's army and people feel uneasy... so that the people dare not go out of the city to graze."

"Yes, these are my days before Chenzhou."

Cao Ying looked at Yang Xuan, and always felt that the boss did it on purpose, just wanting to return the old treatment to Tanzhou.

If so, the boss's revenge is invincible.

He glanced at Yang Xuan again, the sky was still shrouded in light clouds like smoke and sand, but Yang Xuan's face seemed to be covered with a halo, majestic and majestic.

He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, thinking of the first emperor.

If Your Majesty sees Langjun like this, he will definitely say that this is my qiliner.

"Chang'an cut off my money and food in northern Xinjiang. It seems a bad thing, but Lao Cao, you have to know that in the world, self-reliance is the foundation of strength. Northern Xinjiang needs time, money, food, cattle and sheep.

So I went north to take Nangui City, and this time I took Yanbei City again.Why not take Tanzhou and Neizhou with the trend?You tell me. "

Cao Ying lay dormant for a long time, Yang Xuan wanted to see the effect.

Cao Ying thought for a while, "If Tanzhou and Neizhou are taken down, Chang'an will be shaken, and if not done well, all attention will be focused on us. Secondly, Ningxing will do the same."

"Yes." Yang Xuan was very satisfied, "The world is a game of chess. If Beijiang wants to be a chess player, not a pawn, it has to keep getting stronger. But it takes time. Every day, Beijiang will become stronger. "

Cao Ying said: "Over there in southern Xinjiang, it is heard that Shi Zhongtang and Zhang Chumao are having a serious fight."

Yang Xuan's eyes were deep, "We don't care about other people's affairs. It's still the same sentence, if you become stronger, this world..."

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand and slowly clenched his fist, "You are qualified to compete!"

Since Yang Xuan took charge of the northern border, after stabilizing the interior, he then expanded to the north.The first step is done, and after that, the world will move accordingly...

"The world is like a chess game, and now I can barely make a move and stir up the situation."

Yang Xuan couldn't help thinking of Yang Lue.

That man has been hiding in Nan Zhou, and almost half his life wasted for him.

And Cao Ying... Looking at Cao Ying, Yang Xuan inevitably had some memories of the past in his heart.

"Here in Tanzhou will become a point in my northern Xinjiang in the future, an important point.

The north rejects the Northern Liao Dynasty, and takes into account Fengzhou.

Once Tanzhou is stabilized, Taoxian can fight Beiliao and Chang'an without any future troubles.

This is the most important thing outside of Tao County, Lao Cao..."

What Cao Ying wanted in her heart was to go to Tao County to assist Langjun, but when she heard this, she saluted without hesitation, "I am willing to guard Yanbei City for Langjun."

The reason why old people are old people is because of their friendship, and secondly, they know the mind of the lord.

Yang Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of Tanzhou for me."

"Yes."

Cao Ying looked at the boss with mixed feelings.

Back then, the somewhat... Mr. Lang said he was a second grader, and that boy who was a little second grader back then has gradually become a majestic lord.

A group of cavalry finally got the fat sheep, cheering and galloping this way.

All the troops cheered.

"Wan Sheng!"

Yang Xuan reined in his horse with a smile.

A sergeant held the fat sheep and rode his horse up, got off the horse, knelt down, and handed the fat sheep over.

"This is my northern border warrior!"

Yang Xuan smiled, dismounted and took the fat sheep.

As if, took over the whole country.

"Wan Sheng!"

In the misty sky, the spring rain is continuous, nourishing the grassland.

Birds watched the army curiously from afar.

The sheep came, and the herdsmen saw the army from a distance.

"What kind of banner is that?"

"It's Yang Ziqi, the Deputy Envoy is here!"

The herdsmen knelt down and saluted devoutly.

"May the gods bless and grant us peace, Mr. Deputy Envoy..."

Taiping...

The shepherd looked up.

The entire grassland was shrouded in gauze-like drizzle, and the earth's air evaporated from the ground, making it look hazy.

An old man said happily: "This is life!"

……

Spring in southern Xinjiang comes earlier than in northern Xinjiang.

When northern Xinjiang is still a little cold in the morning and evening, southern Xinjiang is already full of singing and dancing.

More than ten thousand cavalry are galloping.

Ahead, thousands of rebels were also galloping.

The leading general turned his head while galloping, "Shi Zhongtang, a bastard, has been chasing after him!"

"Run!"

"It's over if Shi Zhongtang catches you."

The rebels fled on horseback.

"Look, there are mountains ahead, as long as you enter the mountains, it's our world."

Everyone was overjoyed, and their strength seemed to increase a bit.

Da da da!
Seeing the mountain pass getting closer...

A group of cavalry rushed out from the mountain pass.

The banner was waving, and a general was grinning under the banner.

"It's Wei Ming!"

Someone in the rebel army screamed in despair, "It's Shi Zhongtang's general."

Surrounded from front to back, thousands of rebels anxiously watched the big flag slowly approaching.

Shi Zhongtang was wearing armor, his cheeks were slightly plump, his eyes looked a little small, but he looked indifferent and majestic.

"Get off the horse and abandon the sword, except for the leader, I will spare you waiting to die!"

He raised his hand, "I'm busy, ten breaths."

The leader was screaming, "Shi Zhongtang is cruel, don't listen to him, let's go out and kill one enough..."

But the rebels under his command got off their horses and dropped their swords without hesitation, and knelt on the ground.

A few leaders sat alone on their horses, looking desperately at Shi Zhongtang riding his horse over.

until face to face.

"Draw the knife!"

Shi Zhongtang looked at the leaders and said indifferently.

Several leaders trembled all over.

One of them said: "Forgive me, I am willing to be the slave of the deputy envoy!"

"Draw the sword!" Shi Zhongtang said again.

Some, impatient.

"He intends to kill us..."

Choke!

Choke!

The light of the knife flashed several times.

Shi Zhongtang withdrew his knife.

The headless corpses of several leaders shook a few times on the horse's back, and fell heavily from the horse.

The rebels kneeling on the ground trembled like chaff.

Shi Zhongtang rode his horse and walked slowly among them.

"You were supposed to be executed for rebellion, and the whole family was enslaved. But God has the virtue of loving life... I am also from a different race, and I know that life in the mountains is hard..."

Those rebels only felt a warm current rushing to their hearts.

The fear and disgust gradually dissipated.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty outside the mountains have no worries about food and clothing, but in the mountains they have to rub hemp for clothing. When they get sick, they can't even find a doctor, so they can only follow the arrangement of the mountain god. You have waited enough for such a life."

The rebels looked up, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Now there are two ways, one is to be a coolie; the other is to follow me and serve me."

Shi Zhongtang reined in his horse, "Who is willing to serve me? Stand up!"

One by one, the rebels slowly stood up.

The corners of Shi Zhongtang's mouth curled up slightly, and he said coldly: "Then, from now on, you will be a member of the Southern Border Army. Gather!"

He rode out, and Chun Yu stepped forward, "Deputy envoy, I'm afraid Zhang Chumao will be suspicious."

"I've already turned my face, so why be afraid of his suspicion?"

"Why don't you let those leaders go?"

"The rebel army is stupid, only the leader is smarter, kill the leader, the snakes will have no head, they can only cling to me, Chunyu."

"Deputy envoy."

"You take people back to report the victory."

"Yes."

Six days later.

Shi Zhongtang returned to Qinghe.

He went straight to Jiedushi's mansion.

Compared with when he was in Beijiang back then, Zhang Chumao had gained a lot of weight. Looking at Shi Zhongtang who came in, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly, "What are you doing here?"

Shi Zhongtang said: "I have thousands more soldiers here, and I need to make a book."

Only by making books can there be money and food.

Zhang Chumao sneered, "Those rebels? How many rebels have you recruited one after another in the past two years? Chang'an is generous, and they give money and food as they please. It can be seen that there are people in the harem who are good officials!"

This is to ridicule Shi Zhongtang's shameless recognition of the imperial concubine as his mother.

Shi Zhongtang's eyes darkened, "I said, make a book!"

Zhang Chumao said coldly: "No!"

Shi Zhongtang said indifferently: "I just want to say something, you don't need to nod."

He can directly contact Chang'an, and under pressure from Chang'an, the Ministry of War can only make a list of the warriors he recruits and distribute money and food every year.

"Rely on that woman?"

Others are afraid of noble concubines, but Zhang Chumao, who is the father-in-law, is not afraid.

Shi Zhongtang glanced at him, turned around and left.

Chun Yu followed, "The Deputy Envoy should reprimand him."

"Chunyu, when you do something, you do it. The most important thing is to get things done. Is it useful to talk?"

"Sometimes it works."

"Then I'll cut out his tongue."

The two left the Jiedu envoy's mansion, ready to go back.

Da da da!
More than ten riders came slowly.

"Deputy Envoy Shi."

The leader turned out to be a servant.

Shi Zhongtang got off his horse and saluted, and said respectfully, "How is Aye? How is Aunt?"

There was more contempt in the servant's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are well."

Shi Zhongtang breathed a sigh of relief, "I pray for Aye and Aniang every day in southern Xinjiang, praying that they can live to 99..."

It is not the idiot who is addicted to the so-called long live and cannot extricate himself, but Sabi.

Any emperor with some brains would scoff at this.

Even if they want to live longer, they will look for other methods, such as alchemy, using their stomachs as a reactor.

The servant dismounted, "Your Majesty has something to say."

Afterwards, the group went to Shi Zhongtang's home.

"Why don't you go to value the room?"

The waiter was a little dissatisfied.

Shi Zhongtang smiled honestly. "The Jiedu envoy is dissatisfied with me! I will be ridiculed there."

"Oh!"

The servant sneered, and then said, "Your Majesty asks you, how is Southern Border?"

Shi Zhongtang stood with his arms tied, as if the emperor was right in front of him, "Since the beginning of spring, I have led the army to wipe out the rebels twice, and now southern Xinjiang is stable."

"How about Zhang Chumao?"

The servant stared at Shi Zhongtang.

Shi Zhongtang recognized that this servant was needed by the emperor's side, he lowered his head, hesitated, "wise."

Praise people, generally have a target.

Wisdom is more general.

More like coping.

The servant coughed dryly, "Over the northern border, Yang Xuan is like a traitor, His Majesty is furious."

Shi Zhongtang said: "Just waiting for your Majesty's order, I am willing to lead my subordinates to fight against rebellion."

The servant nodded, "Zhang Chumao is incompetent, Your Majesty, quite dissatisfied."

Shi Zhongtang's hands hanging by his side trembled slightly, silently.

The servant is a little impatient, thinking that this is what we have said, and you still don't understand His Majesty's intentions...

Sure enough, they are barbarians, extremely stupid!

But the task must be completed!
The servant said: "In the past two years, the Ministry of War has never refused to accept the roster you submitted."

"This is Aye's favor."

The servant said, "Let's go to the Jiedu envoy's mansion!"

Ok?
Shi Zhongtang looked up, "Yes."

In Jiedushi's mansion, Zhang Chumao had already received the news of the servant's arrival.

"I went to Shi Zhong Tang's house."

"Shi Zhongtang is older than that woman, but he can still call her A Niang. There are rumors outside that that woman is the third son of Shi Zhongtang...the two meet each other sincerely, haha!"

Zhang Chumao said contemptuously: "No wonder Chang'an cares so much for that cheap dog slave."

"Duke, you can't just sit and watch!"

The staff member He Zun said: "Chang'an is becoming more and more weird. He responds to Shi Zhongtang's request, but he is quite dissatisfied with the Duke. The old man thinks this is not a good omen, and it can't be done! The man in the pear garden is doing it. something."

Zhang Chumao sneered and said: "What can that guy do? The old man is in charge of the southern border. This is a tacit agreement between him and the head of the country. But he got Shi Zhongtang to restrain him.

Now the northern border is tantamount to a rebellion, that person is flustered, and wants to directly control the army of the southern border, and check and balance with the northern border..."

He Zun said: "Outside people say that the Duke is lazy, but they don't know that the emperor is looking for the Duke's fault."

"Yes!" Zhang Chumao sighed, "It's good not to move. At this moment, the old man only wants to control the southern border for the head of the country, and he doesn't care about personal honor or disgrace."

He Zun said: "This old man is always worried about that guy from Liyuan."

Zhang Chumao smiled, "The head of the state restrains him, what can he do? The old man doesn't make mistakes, what can he do? Hahahaha!"

A small official came in, "Duke, come from Chang'an, please watch the ceremony."

Zhang Chumao said lightly: "Watch the ceremony? What ceremony?"

The little official said, "No."

"have a look!"

Zhang Chumao took people outside.

The so-called ceremony was held outside.

The officials of Jiedushi's mansion are all there.

Zhang Chumao arrived in a hurry.

The servant came up with a will.

A dry cough.

"Shi Zhongtang, deputy envoy of Southern Xinjiang Jiedu."

"Chen is here!"

Shi Zhongtang lowered his head slightly.

The waiter glanced at him.

"...Shi Zhongtang, Duke of Shang."

Zhang Chumao's body shook.

He is Xu Guogong, how can the deputy be equal to him?
Isn't this encouraging Shi Zhongtang to get rid of him?

"Sir, panic, thank you!"

Shi Zhongtang knelt down.

Turning his head sideways, he took a look at Zhang Chumao.

in the eyes.

It's all hideous!
