retaliate

Chapter 973 What is that

Yang Xuan didn't care about a sneak attacking thief who died as soon as he died.

With Lin Feibao and Pei Jian by his side, unless Chang Sheng, the master of Jianyun Temple, came, he didn't need to worry about his own safety.

"Although the top of the city is well repaired, it's too short to stop our army from advancing."

Yang Xuance turned his horse around.

He saw hundreds of riders approaching.

After the Chinese army, these hundreds of riders were intercepted, and Han Ji went up and even saluted.Then more than ten riders followed him to the Chinese army.

who is it?

Yang Xuan was a little curious.

Han Ji is also convinced by Yang Xuan, if someone else, such as the eldest nephew, he is still not a bird.

Who is worthy of his salute?
Yang Xuan became more curious.

He rode over.

Getting closer.

When he saw that gentle and somewhat weak face, his body trembled.

Beside, Lin Feibao did the same.

"Yong Wang!"

Under the banner, Yong Wang Li Zhen smiled and cupped his hands, "I have seen Qin Guogong."

He actually left Chang'an!
Yang Xuan could hardly believe it.

Beside him, Lin Feibao whispered, "Duke!"

Yang Xuan chuckled, "I've seen you, Your Majesty, this is... so you're sealing Beijiang?"

Northern Xinjiang has always been a forbidden land. When Pei Jiu was there, Emperor Wu wanted to order the prince to seal a certain place in Northern Xinjiang, but Pei Jiu's words stopped him.

——The son of the emperor, the nobles of Tianhuang!Northern Xinjiang, the land of the Fourth World War!Why bother?

He didn't say whether it was the prince who ruined Beijiang or whether Beijiang ruined the prince, but Emperor Wu just smiled and immediately took it back.

Since then, the army and civilians in northern Xinjiang have been proud of it.

King Yong's cheeks trembled, "This king is ordered to supervise the battle."

Supervisor?

Yang Xuan was startled.

Even if you want to supervise the war, there's no need to get Yong Wang out, right?
As far as Yang Xuan knew, his elder brother never left Chang'an after that night.

This is... Li Mi drank too much?

Yang Xuan nodded, "Since your majesty is here, you can join the army and watch the battle."

Watch!

This is Yang Xuan's statement.

You can watch, but stay out of it!
Qian Xiang, a counselor beside King Yong, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here to supervise the army..."

Supervising the army is naturally qualified to express opinions on the situation of the war, and even has the right to interfere.

Yang Xuan looked at him, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Pei Jian beside him held the handle of the knife and said in a deep voice, "The Duke is here, who dares?"

King Yong smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

This is temptation.

If Yang Xuan agreed, King Yong would not dare to intervene in military affairs, otherwise he would go back... I guess he would not be able to go back, he would be sick halfway, and go to Gongling to see the emperor.

This person is interesting.

The prince is not a good bird.

Yang Xuance turned his horse around, looked at the top of the city, and ordered: "Retreat and set up camp!"

"Yang Gou is gone."

There was a burst of cheers from the city.

The army retreated and set up camp immediately.

Yang Xuan entered his big tent, and Han Ji followed.

"Kingdom."

"Old Han! What do you think?" Yang Xuan made himself a cup of tea and gave Han Ji another cup.

Han Ji bowed his body to express his respect, took a sip from the teacup, and said with a smile, "The tea here is very fragrant."

Even Han Ji has learned how to be flattering, which shows the sweetness of power... Yang Xuan smiled.

Han Ji said: "In my opinion, it must be the emperor's intention to leave Chang'an for King Yong."

This is nonsense!

Han Ji stretched out a finger, "This prince who was able to seize the heirloom back then, after that night, he was imprisoned in the mansion together with King Zhen, and he was not allowed to go out of Chang'an. Just like that, he was abolished. This time the emperor used him Supervising the army is nothing more than trying to scare the Duke."

This is the son of a filial emperor. I know that Yang Xuan, apart from my stupid son and Li Han from the Liang Palace, doesn't think much of anyone in the clan.

Now, King Yong is here.

How can you?

This is the son who respects the emperor. If you have the ability, give him face and punish him.

It can be regarded as exporting bad luck for me!
After filial piety to the emperor, Li Mi wished he could kill all his cubs, that's why Jingtai persevered in chasing and killing Yang Lue and Yang Xuan for many years.

But King Zhen and King Yong are not easy to do.

He killed the eldest son of Emperor Xiao Jing, and there were rumors outside that the downfall of Emperor Xiao Jing was a good thing done by Li Mi and his son.

Therefore, he could not attack King Zhen and King Yong, otherwise, this statement would be confirmed.

Whenever there was a big banquet in the palace, he had to pull out those two cousins ​​to show off.

Look, between me and them, we are still a loving family.

But the aggrieved feeling in Li Mi's heart!

But can't find a way to vent.

You say a woman, no matter how good a woman is, after a long time, she will get tired of looking at it.

Bringing King Zhen to northern Xinjiang this time is to show that he has no suspicion of these two cousins, and it can also be regarded as building momentum for himself.

The second is to mix the water.

"After Pei Jiu left, there were many people in northern Xinjiang who complained for him. By the way, the death of filial piety to the emperor was brought up again. The emperor knew that the prince could not gain advantage by coming to northern Xinjiang. If so, he brought King Zhen here. .This is also a temptation."

Yang Xuan took a sip of tea, "In his opinion, if I have the will to stand on my own, I should keep King Zhen behind."

Han Ji smiled, "If the Duke wants to stand on his own feet, he only needs to raise the banner of filial piety to the emperor and push King Zhen out. This is a good example."

"For rebellion, you have to have a reputation for righteousness, otherwise you will be a traitor." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "No, he sent a reputation for righteousness. Yaoyao said to me: Yang Ni, how dare you rebel? ?”

"He's a little crazy." Han Ji said.

"Most emperors are lunatics." Yang Xuan said, "Now that the muddy waters in Chang'an can no longer be tolerated, Yang Songcheng and others seem to have the upper hand. The emperor throws out King Zhen. I dare say that no one can think of this move." .”

Han Ji lowered his voice, "Those people..."

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Honoring the emperor seems to have gone for many years, and the father and son have also cleaned up his direct lineage for many years, and there seems to be nothing left. But everyone in the world underestimates my father. Old Han, do you know Song Zhen Why are you willing to be loyal to me as soon as you say it?"

Han Ji said: "It's not for the overall situation..."

"What a big game!" Yang Xuan shook his head, "It was my identity that really made Lao Song make up his mind."

Han Ji suddenly laughed, "The Duke's business in northern Xinjiang is a business that loses his head, no matter how impartial Song Zhen is, he can't let his family follow him to the danger, right?
Courtiers rebelled, how many people in history succeeded?As for the founding emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he was also the master of Shaoguo, and he controlled the army, so he succeeded.

The rest, mostly ruined.

However, the status of the Duke is noble, and Song Zhen used to say that many problems of the Tang Dynasty lie in the temple.But the princes in the temple and even the emperor feel that life is good, what can he do?
Filial piety to the emperor's heirs, both civil and military, and control of the northern army, if such a master is not loyal, what are you waiting for? "

"You! Bitter!" Yang Xuan pointed at him, "My identity, including the identity of that cousin, is the best prop for a caring person. If I had ambitions, I would not let King Yong go. Will be on the Emperor's side."

"But the Duke of the State is reluctant to part with this opportunity. In this way, he knows that King Yong is poison, and he has to bite his teeth and swallow it."

"Yes! This poison, to be honest, if it weren't for my identity, I would really be tempted."

"Playing with power is actually playing with people's hearts. Even the old man admires the emperor for this."

But what the emperor didn't expect was that his real little brother was in Beijiang.

And was eyeing him, just waiting for the opportunity to come.

At this moment, King Yong was talking to Qian Xiang in his tent.

"Qin Guogong came from a lowly background. It is not luck that made it to this day, but solid skills. This kind of person is the most tenacious. It is a bit reckless to try today, but it is not a loss. At least I can know how much he treats us. manner!"

Qian Xiang caressed his beard and smiled, where was the anger that questioned Yang Xuan before?
King Yong said quietly: "He holds the first army of the Tang Dynasty in his hand, and this king is thinking about what he wants."

"There is no possibility of reconciliation between Duke Qin and Chang'an, unless... King Wei ascends the throne." Qian Xiang said with a smile: "But King Wei has no foundation behind him, and Yang Songcheng and others have joined forces to forcefully push King Yue, so he has no chance of winning."

"In the next 50 years, if Yang Xuan does not die, he will suffer under the suppression of Chang'an." King Yong lowered his voice, "He is a smart man, and the previous rebuttal was just a gesture. Look at his attitude towards us. This king is thinking, if he...he needs a puppet."

Qian Xiang's body trembled, "What does the king mean..."

King Yong smiled, "How about filial piety to the emperor's son? Isn't Duke Qin tempted?"

"But then, the king has been wronged!"

King Yong said calmly: "From the night Aye was poisoned to death, there is only one thought in my heart."

He points out.

"revenge!"

His face was contorted, his eyes seemed to be flickering with will-o'-the-wisps, and he said through gritted teeth: "Old dog, don't die too early, wait for me, wait for me to peel you alive!"

Qian Xiang knelt down and kowtowed.

"I am willing to serve the king!"

……

The next morning.

King Yong had breakfast and went out for a walk.

Yang Xuan was talking to a group of soldiers in front, and King Yong slowly leaned over.

"...New soldiers must go out with the old soldiers, watch what the old soldiers do, and follow suit. Just one thing, you must dare to make a move. But some people think that being timid and cautious will live longer?"

The recruits smiled, a little embarrassed.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "On the battlefield, the more timid you are, the faster you die. On the contrary, those who are bold and dare to fight live to the end."

He pointed to an old pawn with two knife marks on his face and said, "Look, this is an example."

The old soldier's face was flushed with excitement, and he said to the new soldiers: "Follow the Duke, just fight, the more you think, the faster you die!"

The recruits were also excited.

At this time, He Lianrong came over and whispered in his ear: "The messenger of Yelu Shu has come."

Yang Xuan turned around and saw King Yong, he nodded slightly and said, "Bring him here."

Later, in the big tent.

"I have seen the master!"

A steward whom Yang Xuan knew knelt down.

"Are you sure about Yelu Shu?"

The man was the steward under Ye Lushu, and he said with a flattering smile: "Master, don't worry, Alang has said that, this time he will definitely be able to make meritorious service for the master."

Yang Xuan waved his hand, someone took the man out.

Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, "Call them."

Subsequently, civil and military officials entered the big account.

King Yong came in at the end.

This is the attitude of the supervisor.

Yang Xuan pointed to his side, "Get a seat for the king."

King Yong bowed his hand. "Since you are in the army, you naturally have to obey Qin Guogong's arrangement. There is only one commander in the army, how can the others sit still?"

What a smart man!

Yang Xuan became more and more curious about the demeanor of his father back then.

He said, "The actions of the army can't be hidden from the enemy's scouts. Lin Jun must have got the news. I'm sure he will send reinforcements. In this way, the attack on Yangcheng must be fast. Take Yangcheng before Lin Jun arrives!"

A general came out of the squad, "Duke, I am willing to lead the army to attack Yangcheng. If I don't go down for three days, I will be guilty!"

Three days!

King Yong had already seen Yangcheng yesterday, according to his understanding, it would take at least ten days to attack it!

But in Yang Xuan's case, the generals under his command boasted boldly that Yangcheng would definitely be captured in three days.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Why do you need three days. Nan He!"

"Here!" Nan He left the class.

Yang Xuan said: "Leading the army approaching the city."

"Leader!"

Yang Xuan waved his hand, "Go all, I want to take a nap!"

In an instant, King Yong saw the expressions of relief on the faces of those civil and military officials.

The Duke has started to take a nap, what suspense is there in this battle?

King Yong tentatively said, "Duke Qin, this is..."

Yang Xuan sighed: "I don't know who chose the place. A lot of bugs crawled out last night, and I didn't sleep well all night."

It turned out to be true... King Yong: "..."

……

Fei Le stood on the top of the wall, looked at the approaching northern border army, and said with a sneer, "I have already prepared treasures for them!"

Just below the city head, there is a row of jars.

A smell of kerosene kept coming out from the gap between the lid and the jar.

Fei Le grinned grimly: "Let them break it, after breaking the city, go to death!"

In a mansion in the city, Ye Lushu was in a daze.

"Alang!"

A servant came in, "The northern army is here."

Ye Lushu looked up, "Here?"

"Yes, the leader is Nan He!"

"Where's the master?"

"I didn't see Yang Ziqi."

Ye Lushu squinted his eyes, when an old servant came in, "Ah Lang, Fei Le has prepared a lot of fire oil, this is to burn the Northern Xinjiang army who attacked the city to death!"

"Good trick."

Ye Lvshu sneered, "The old man said how many things were transported into the city at that time, but they were packed tightly, which looked like pots and jars. Now that I think about it, this is it."

The old servant sighed: "Ah Lang, Fei Le seems to have some confidence in this battle, and Lin Jun will definitely lead the army to help, this battle is very sure!"

Ye Lushu looked at him and said happily, "Really?"

Seeing this, the old servant couldn't help but rejoice, "Yes! The old slave also served in the army back then, and Lin Jun was a famous general in Daliao. If he came, Yang Xuan would also have to be afraid. In this way, the two places work together, and the battle is at least unbeatable. .In that case, why bother to make a move?"

Ye Lvshu nodded, "But Beijiang has given us a lot of benefits."

"This old slave will die..." The old servant knelt down, "Ah Lang, the Tang Dynasty is an enemy country after all, and Yang Xuan is a foreign race. He himself said that if he is not of my race, his heart must be different. Why does Ah Lang work for him? Taking the opportunity to decouple..."

"You're right."

Ye Lushu got up and walked over, reaching out to pat the old servant on the shoulder.

The old servant said happily: "After all, this is the Daliao that raised our ancestors! To protect it is to protect our ancestors..."

puff!
A dagger stabbed into his chest.

Yelushu drew his sword and walked out.

Standing tall.

The old servant knelt there with his hands propped on the ground.

Then I heard Yelushu say disdainfully:
"Ancestor? What is that?!"
