retaliate

Chapter 935 This is my Nevada
Bah!
Dozens of sergeants were hitting the city gate holding logs.

Due to the strength of the defending army, Xiao Hongde did not block the city gates, but now he has become a failure.

At the top of the city, more and more Northern Xinjiang troops rushed up.

The defenders are making the last dying struggle, retreating steadily.

"Half an hour!"

Jiang Cunzhong said.

Breaking the city in half an hour, this judgment made Pei Jian nod slightly.

The morale of the defenders had already fallen to the bottom, but the bravery in their bones kept them from fleeing.

"It's time to invite the Duke."

Zeng Guang said.

Let the boss witness the moment of breaking the city with his own eyes, this is something that every subordinate should think of.

"It's gone."

Half an hour ago, Pei Jian had sent someone there.

All with quirky smiles.

Duke Guo played soy sauce in this battle, and he had a great time playing around with thousands of riders.

Hearing that the city is going to be destroyed, the Duke probably feels a little bit resentful!
Da da da!
The envoy sent by Pei Jian has returned.

It is Uda's bodyguard.

"Where is the Duke?"

Pei Jian asked.

The guard said: "Just before, Lin Jun, the governor of Tanzhou, led a surprise attack with [-] cavalry, and the Duke led [-] cavalry to intercept him. Lin Jun, retreat!"

Pei Jian: "..."

Generals: "..."

Da da da!
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, everyone raised their heads.

Under Yang's banner, Duke Yang looked at the top of the city in a leisurely manner, "This is, is it going to break the city?"

"Congratulations, Duke!"

Pei Jian brought people to meet him.

"how much longer?"

Yang Xuan reined in his horse and asked.

"Half an hour!" Pei Jian said.

"Lang Jun, I'm hungry." Wang Laoer said pitifully.

"Yeah!" Yang Xuan said, "Call out, Lin Jun from Tanzhou leads an army of [-], and I beat him back!"

Dozens of loud sergeants gathered around the city and shouted:

"Lin Jun of Tanzhou led an army of [-], but was repelled by the Duke!"

Xiao Hongde's face was pale, and Peng Zhi was sweating profusely, "He only has a few thousand riders, how can he be stopped?"

This is self-comfort... Yang Xuandu's appearance is the best explanation.

Once Lin Jun was defeated, the morale of the city head fell to the bottom in an instant.

"Lin Jun, call yourself a famous general in vain!"

Xiao Hongde suddenly laughed.

"Defeated! Lost!"

He stumbled back, jumped off the top of the wall, got on his horse, and went into the city.

The main general ran away, and the defenders at the top of the city collapsed immediately.

Boom!

The city gate was knocked open.

The cavalry swarmed in.

"Surrender!"

Following Pei Jian's order, most of the defenders knelt down and asked to surrender, while a few resisted stubbornly.

The fierce fighting for several days has already worn away the will of the defenders.

The resistance to decay is incredible.

Among them, Xiao Hongde's giving up played a big role.

"Xiao Hongde should be rewarded!"

Yang Xuan said.

"Guo Gong, clean up the area from the city to the official residence."

Pei Jian said.

"Into the city."

All the way to the outside of the official residence, dozens of defenders are maintaining the final dignity.

"Xiao Hongde was inside. I didn't know whether I was going to die or live, so I didn't go in."

The general explained.

Yang Xuan said: "Ten breaths!"

Some people bend their fingers.

"Abandon the knife and kneel on the ground within ten breaths!"

No one responded.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Yang Xuan waved his hand, "Kill them all."

A wave of arrows rained down, and the world was quiet.

The only sergeant who still had some breathing gasped and asked, "Didn't you only reach eight?"

The northern army then poured in.

"Duke, Xiao Hongde committed suicide."

When Yang Xuan entered, he saw a person hanging from the beam in the lobby.

"I don't even have the courage to commit suicide."

Yang Xuan shook his head.

There was a piece of paper on the case table, Wang Er Er picked it up.

"Lang Jun, this is Xiao Hongde's suicide note."

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, and Wang Laoer said: "I'm afraid it's poisonous, Lord General, let's see!"

Yang Xuan smiled, "Then you are not afraid?"

Wang Laoer said, "I'm not afraid."

Yang Xuan's eyes were gentle, and he looked carefully.

The front is a summary of my life, the counting is a bit messy, and even the sentences are a bit wrong.

After turning the pen, it is extremely sharp.

—Poisonous woman, you must die!
Uh!
What is this with what?
Yang Xuan felt that this was wrong, "Find someone to ask."

Peng Zhi wanted to commit suicide, but he couldn't pull the long sword around his neck, so he was finally captured alive.

He was brought into the lobby and saw Yang Xuan up close for the first time.

Yang Xuan sat on the desk, Xiao Xiangwen on the beam was still swaying with the breeze.

"Peng Zhi?"

"Yes."

Peng Zhi lowered his head.

Yang Xuan remembered that this person was mentioned in the suicide note, and Xiao Hongde felt ashamed of his brain trust... We will meet again in hell.

But now this person is still alive!
Uda said: "When the brothers saw him, he was playing with a long sword on his neck! Let him throw it away, and when he let go, he would kneel."

Soft bones!
Yang Xuan fought too many times, and saw too many tough bones... For example, Xiao Hongde who is hanging under the beam at the moment.

Cartilage can be found anywhere, and there are many in the military.

"Xiao Hongde said that you went with him."

Yang Xuan said.

Peng Zhi lowered his head, Wu Da drew out his knife, and picked his chin with the tip of the knife, exerting a little force, "Look up and answer!"

Peng Zhi raised his head, "Old man... this old man thinks it's time to go into details, at least there must be someone to pay homage to him in the future."

"The literati are shameless, but the warriors are indeed inferior."

Yang Xuan shook his head, "What is the poisonous woman that Xiao Hongde mentioned?"

"Xianwen's lady is Lin Ya's younger sister, and her methods are... ruthless."

"Tell me."

Yang Xuan had heard about this, but he didn't know the details.

"Why does Lang Jun like to inquire about such things?"

Jiang He'er and Helian Yan muttered.

He Lianyan shook her head, "Lang Jun wants to judge Lin Ya's internal relationship from these things."

"I see!" Jiang He'er made a grimace.

"...All the concubines in the family are dead. Xiangwen is not afraid of this, but one time, he suddenly felt moved and asked someone to quietly check the wine he drank. It contains... there is medicine."

"What medicine?"

"It can make a man...not be a man."

Yang Xuan couldn't help but look down.

It's so ruthless!
"Lin Ya, don't you have an explanation?"

He wanted to see Lin Ya's control and attitude over the small group.

"Don't worry, I scolded her and said she made a move. Xiangwen got two more concubines. Half a month later, one said she was killed by hitting the door frame. The other said she chopped vegetables and wiped her neck... "

Yang Xuan waved his hand.

From Lao Lin's point of view, he is quite indulgent to his family members!
Yang Xuan thought of Lin Jun.

This guy didn't ask for instructions at all, and came for a surprise attack with [-] riders.

"Kingdom."

A sergeant came in, "See you, Zhao Duola."

"He's not dead?"

Yang Xuan was a little surprised.

Zhao Duola was brought in.

The wound on the cheek was swollen, and it looked like two big bumps.

The calf... looks broken.

He Lianyan came out, "Duke, my Jin Yiwei brother ambushed this person last night, saying that he was shot in the face with an arrow."

"Where's the calf?"

Helianyan shook her head.

Zhao Duola said: "The old man's calf was broken by himself."

"Why?"

Yang Xuan asked.

Zhao Duola was being supported, but suddenly struggled hard.

"Is this an assassination?"

Yang Xuan was stunned.

The two guards who supported him exerted force on their hands, and with a snap, they didn't even break his hand bones.

"Yang Dog, I wish I could eat your meat and peel your skin!"

Zhao Duola fell to the ground, his eyes tearing open.

"This attitude has changed a little faster, torture!"

Yang Xuan didn't care about this little episode.

He walked out of the lobby, and someone behind him put Xiao Hongde down.

Pei Jian is here.

"Duke, the last remnant enemy has been wiped out."

Yang Xuan smiled, "This time, you are fine."

Pei Jian saluted, "They are all cultivated by the Duke!"

This attitude, nothing to say.

General in hand!

Yang Xuan looked at the crowd, "After this battle, I will serve as Shuchaozhong and ask for credit for you. Thinking about it, as a Zhonglang general, Chaozhong is willing."

Zhonglang will...

Even Jiang Cunzhong wanted to vomit blood.

This is not just a flat rise, this is a direct ascension.

Chang'an didn't agree, so he forced the Duke to appoint himself an official.

Once Beijiang is allowed to appoint officials on its own, it will be a factual rebellion.

Therefore, this Zhonglang general is a certainty!
"Thank you, Duke."

Pei Jian knelt down on one knee.

This is what allegiance means.

General in hand!

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were many famous generals, but most of the so-called famous generals were fought.

In peacetime, the so-called number of famous generals is not true.

Empress Wu, in fact, Datang still has a place to hone generals.

Southern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang.

But as soon as Pei Jiu left, Beijiang was alienated from Chang'an.

As for southern Xinjiang, once Zhang Huan left, it became a place where the emperor and Yang Songcheng fought secretly.

The emperor felt that he lived in the ninth heaven, even in the northern border, he only dared to secretly disobey his orders, and no one conspired against him.

Therefore, he devoted his energy to tactics.

As a result, the generals in the court are now withered, and even if there are, the relationship with the emperor is hard to describe.

This is not a bad thing!

"Go out and see."

Yang Xuan led everyone out of the official residence.

The streets outside are full of Northern Xinjiang troops.

"Meet the Duke!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Busy you guys."

There are several fireworks in the city, which were set on fire by the remnant enemy before his death to create chaos.

"This is Neizhou!"

Yang Xuan put his hand behind his back and took a deep breath of smoke.

Since Empress Wu, Datang has never been able to expand its territory.

Occasionally, one or two cities will be destroyed, but they will be evacuated immediately... This is because they don't want to fight Beiliao.

It is not uncommon for Yang Xuan to break Yanbei City and Nangui City, but the inclusion of the two cities in the Northern Territory shocked Chang'an.

Now, he's taking Nevada.

Chengyang City is at your feet.

how many years.

Datang has always been lukewarm to the outside world.

Even if the Southern Zhou Dynasty stirred up wind and rain in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty and supported the alien rebellion, the Tang Dynasty endured it for a long time, and did not launch the Southern Expedition until it was unbearable.

During that Southern Expedition, Yang Xuan saw the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

But Beiliao was holding back, and in the end they had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

But now Beiliao's containment has become a joke... Neizhou is lost.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it was the right time.

"Old Han."

"Lang Jun." Han Ji stepped forward, slightly behind Yang Xuan.

"With Neizhou, the situation has changed drastically. If the Great Tang wants to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it's the right time. Do you think the court will be tempted?"

Han Ji shook his head, "No."

"Why?"

"As far as the emperor is concerned, there is a turmoil in southern Xinjiang at the moment, and Zhang Chumao is forced to retreat steadily by Shi Zhongtang. Sending troops at this moment gives Zhang Chumao a chance to stand up."

"Public heart!" Yang Xuan sighed.

"If he has a public heart, why did Tang come to this?" Han Ji said sarcastically.

"Great opportunity!" Yang Xuan sighed again.

By solving the Southern Zhou Dynasty, not only can one lose a powerful enemy, but also can gain countless wealth and population.

"The prosperity of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, if you can hold it in your hands, the national power of the Tang Dynasty will increase by [-]%."

Thirty percent is still less.

"That place can easily produce twice a year, and there is no shortage of food. However, there are many refugees every year, and it is heard that many people starve to death every year." Han Ji laughed a little gloatingly.

"You mean... land annexation."

"Yes, everyone in the world is greedy. The rich are more greedy than the poor. They suck the bones and suck the marrow. They wish they could squeeze the people dry. Even in a rich land, there are refugees everywhere."

"That's why Nian Xu supported Sun Shi's launch of the New Deal. If it doesn't change, he is worried that he will become the second Marquis of Anle."

An Lehou in Chang'an has always been prepared for captured emperors.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "The New Deal is to cut the flesh of those with vested interests, and it will definitely fail!"

"Lang Jun's words are incisive." Han Ji said with a smile: "Unless Nian Xu is ready to suppress the rebellious army and prepare for the chaos of the Southern Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, otherwise, this kind of new policy will inevitably be anticlimactic."

"People are like this. It is easy to cut other people's flesh, but it is difficult to cut one's own flesh." Yang Xuan inevitably thought of the current situation of Datang.

Datang's disadvantages are only a lot more than those of Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the resistance is so great that it makes one's scalp tingle.

Aristocratic families, clans, dignitaries, tyrants... the army.

After the collapse of the military system, a recruitment system has been established, so that the frontier military governors are no different from the local emperors.

If this situation does not change, Datang will be ruined sooner or later.

A civil servant came to ask for instructions, "Duke, what should the people in Neizhou do with it?"

The captives don't need to ask, the Duke's habit is to rush to build roads and dig water canals.

Yang Xuan said: "Take all Jinshan City away, and take [-]% of the rest."

"Yes."

"Besides." Yang Xuan said: "Let people go to Tao County and tell Sima that the matter of emigration must be paid close attention to, and as many refugees as possible should be sent here before the cold winter, so that they can start farming in the spring."

"Yes!"

Han Ji said with a smile: "At this time, we can see the benefits of the Duke's acceptance of those refugees."

Originally, Northern Xinjiang's reputation was not very good, and Yang Xuan was even called Yang Ni.

But after Beijiang accepted countless refugees from the north, Yang Guogong's reputation in the north skyrocketed.

"It is said that people everywhere are trying to discredit me!"

Yang Xuan sneered.

"It's a good reputation to say that the Duke is a Buddha of the Wan family. No, it has attracted slander. Some people say that the Duke is letting those refugees go to fight and risk their lives to open up wasteland... Anyway, it's not good."

"This account, I will settle it with them slowly later!"

Yang Xuan smiled, "At this moment, let us enjoy this rare victory to the fullest. Today, the soldiers will take turns to enjoy wine and meat."

He turned around, "I'm cooking!"

The Duke personally rewarded the troops with his subordinates, and the news spread, which aroused bursts of cheers.

It is said that he cooks himself, but he is just a kitchen director.

Yang Xuan directed hundreds of cooks to cook.

Beef and beef bones are boiled together to make soup, which is full of fragrance, then add dried vegetables, and pancakes at the same time...

When cooking, the soldiers found that the man with the apron and the spoon was the Duke.

Yang Guogong won the respect of the soldiers because he could not shake his hands while cooking.

However, each bowl was trembling as it was handed over.

Then came the carnival.

On the third day, the army returned triumphantly.

Yang Xuan is going to be later, he has to explain something to Zhen Siwen.

That's right, the Neizhou defender is Zhen Siwen.

"Neizhou is our bridgehead in the northern border, and there will be many challenges and challenges in the future. How to deal with it?" Yang Xuan asked.

Zhen Siwen hardly thought about it.

"If you can beat it, hit it, if you can't beat it, close the door!"

He was a little apprehensive, feeling ashamed of the Duke.

Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

"So, I'm relieved."

He led the guards out of the official residence.

Zhen Siwen sent it all the way out.

When we got outside the city, we only saw a crowd of people.

The common people dragged their sons and daughters, carried their burdens, or followed the carts, and looked at Yang Xuan who came out in a daze and some despair.

"kneel!"

Some generals shouted loudly.

Countless people knelt down.

"Meet the Duke!"

The soldiers saluted.

"The Duke is mighty!"

This is my state!

Yang Xuan pointed to the south.

"set off!"

……

The seventh day of the first month is a double monthly ticket, and the jazz asked for a ticket.
