retaliate

Chapter 994
Chang'an has countless eyeliners in northern Xinjiang.

The eyeliners of the aristocratic families are divided into several groups, needless to say, the ones in the palace, one wave on the stage, the emperor can't say one wave in private...

When there are too many people, the messages can be compared with each other to ensure accuracy.

But timeliness varies.

There are many ways to go here. For example, this wave of eyeliner can't mobilize the post horses at the post station in northern Xinjiang, so they can only be forced to plan their own way. In this way, the news will naturally lag behind.

It was only yesterday that the news of sending troops to Northern Xinjiang was sent, but today the news of Yang Xuan's Xia Baode came. This is a typical news lag.

The emperor glanced at Wang Shou with murderous intent, and turned around: "Map!"

The super-large map was pulled by two servants.

The emperor frowned, "Where is Baode?"

Han Shitou was also looking for it, and pushed his finger forward along the line in Beijiang, "This is Neizhou, go to... Your Majesty, this is Baode!"

The emperor saw it.

"Call the important ministers to discuss the matter."

Later, important ministers gathered.

"Broken Baode?"

As soon as Zhang Huan heard it, he said: "As soon as Baode was broken, the Northern Border Army found a foothold, and then they can be fast or slow, calm and at ease. This is probably a surprise attack?"

It really is a veteran... The emperor nodded.

Yang Songcheng asked: "After Baode, what will happen next?"

Zhang Huan thought of it without looking at the map, "The follow-up depends on the Beiliao side, especially Lin Jun. He is in Taizhou, which is the closest to Kunzhou. If he sends troops to rescue, then the Northern Xinjiang Army must divide troops to intercept, or even put aside the attack Kunzhou's plan, fully respond."

"That is to say, whether Lin Jun sends troops or not is related to the outcome of this battle?" Yang Songcheng asked.

Zhang Huan nodded, "I don't know what the future will be like for other names, but Lin Jun has actually defeated the Shegu people. If he makes a move, Duke Qin must be cautious."

"Then Zhang Xiang may judge whether Lin Jun sent troops or not?" Yang Songcheng asked further.

Zhang Huan has already thought about this problem, "Lin Jun controls Taizhou, and the excuse he uses is to deal with the invasion of Northern Xinjiang. Now that the Northern Xinjiang army is attacking Kunzhou, if he does not send troops, the previous story will become a joke. He Lianchun will take advantage of this Attack and recapture Kunzhou. Therefore, the old man thought that Lin Jun would definitely send troops."

"it is good!"

The applause was Zheng Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

"Cough cough!"

Just as Zheng Qi couldn't help applauding, when he heard a dry cough, he glanced at it, and then his body froze.

Opposite is the emperor's loyal dog, Liang Jing!

Liang Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, pointing at himself.

Zheng Qi and his bet are well known to everyone, seeing this, they couldn't help laughing.

The two are rivals, but now they want to call themselves brothers and sisters. This feeling is like cat and mouse having fun together.

But when the gentleman said something, Zheng Qi took a deep breath and cupped his hands. "Meet my brother!"

"Brother, you're being polite." Liang Jing replied politely.

Zheng Qi is much older than him, but he can only respond with a smile when he is called a good brother.

The emperor smiled for it.

Someone asked: "How can Liang Shilang be sure that Qin Guogong will send troops to the northern border?"

There are still some flying knives hidden in these words... Everyone knows that Liang Jing and Yang Xuan were close friends back then, almost like brothers.It's just that I don't know why it gradually drifted away.After Yang Xuan fell out with the emperor in the northern border, there was no further contact between the two.

Could it be that you broke up with Yang Niou again and secretly communicated with the song?
The emperor loves to be suspicious, and these words gave him a reason to be suspicious.

sinister!

insidious!

But Liang Jing said calmly: "I have been an official for many years and I have learned a truth. If you want to make your subordinates and colleagues respect you, the first is to set an example, and the second is the most important one. There is a letter.

You do what you say.Even if it is difficult.

What you can't do, you have to know it in your head, don't just open your mouth.When I first heard that Beijiang was going to move northward, I knew it was bound to go northward.As for the reason, it's what I said just now, keep your word! "

It's that simple?
But if you think about it carefully, it is true.

Keeping your word is easy to say, but who did it?
A lot of things come out of the mouth, as for cashing in... This old man is an important minister, who dares to mention this matter?

Who dares to force the old man to cash in?

Having opened their mouths for a long time, Zheng Qi and others, including the emperor, are wondering whether the northward advance of northern Xinjiang is a pretense.

I didn't know until I heard the news, oh!Yang Nilai is serious.

For this reason, the eyeliners in northern Xinjiang spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is estimated that many of them were targeted by Jin Yiwei.

But in fact, only one judgment is enough... Does Yang Xuan keep his word?
Yes!
Then he must go north.

But this one was ignored by everyone, only Liang Jing firmly believed it.

Officialdom is a concentration camp of lies. If you tell too many lies, everyone will think you are lying.

If a serious official came, he would not be able to stay in this environment and become a different kind.

This is bad money driving out good money.

Liang Jing is not from a serious background, he was originally a wicked young man.

Evil Shao pays attention to loyalty first.

What is righteousness?

A promise!
Therefore, he took it for granted that Yang Xuan would keep his promise.

This is an outlier!

But his peculiarity only occurs occasionally, otherwise how can he fight with Yang Songcheng and others?

His idiosyncrasy occurred here in Yang Xuan.

The friendship of the year!

Liang Jing thought of that young man, when they had a good time drinking and chatting, there was no conflict of interest in their hearts.

How pure that is.

To this day, he misses this kind of purity very much, but he can only relive it in his memory.

The emperor said, "So, it's up to Lin Jun next?"

Zhang Huan nodded, "Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what happened. Qin Guogong and Lin Jun must have a battle!"

The emperor coughed dryly, and a courtier asked: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Zhang, can you predict this battle?"

The old man is not a god, how can he predict it?

Zhang Huan glanced at it, and the courtier who spoke was a member of the emperor, so he knew that this was a question that the emperor wanted to ask, but it was not easy to ask.

If Song Zhen was present, there would still be a discussion between the two.

But Song Zhen is now the leader of the Northern Xinjiang, and it is said that he is quite reused by Qin Guogong.

Lao Song went to northern Xinjiang, and the old man is still suffering in Chang'an... Zhang Huan felt powerless for the first time, and cheered up and said: "Shegu people are fierce and not lacking in cunning. Back then, Lin Jun fought three victories and won three victories. Lian Chun was suspicious, so he arranged for him to go to Tanzhou. This man is young, but he is calm in his military operations, and he is not lacking in sharpness. When Qin Guogong met him, the old man thought it would be [-]-[-]!"

This is like not saying anything.

Is it fifty five?
The emperor felt a little relieved, "Lin Jun went to Tanzhou, guessing that Lin Ya's acquiescence is indispensable."

In terms of power tactics, Lin Ya and He Lianchun teamed up and reckoned that they would be able to draw with Li Mi.

Therefore, he said that Lin Ya was behind Lin Jun's going to Tanzhou, and everyone believed it without hesitation.

"So, Lin Ya's internal disputes are inevitable!" Yang Songcheng nodded, "So, Lin Jun must prove his own talent, and he will do his best in this battle!"

The emperor was noncommittal, "As soon as the news of this battle comes, send it to the palace immediately!"

This is what it means to break up.

Sure enough, Han Shitou immediately said, "Your Majesty is tired."

The ministers leave.

The emperor returned to the harem.

The concubine is here.

"I want to rest."

Whenever the emperor does not give the concubine face like this, it is probably because of something big.

The imperial concubine resigned, and after going out, she asked the servant who followed the emperor.

"But what happened?"

"The northern border sent troops to take down a city in Beiliao, His Majesty was furious!"

Yang Xuan?
The appearance of that young man appeared in front of the imperial concubine's eyes again.

"Where's brother?"

The noble concubine thought of the bet between Liang Jing and Zheng Qi.

"Today Zheng Shangshu saluted and called Liang Shilang his elder brother."

Uh!
"He is really serious!" The imperial concubine shook her head.

She walked slowly, and behind her, someone from the palace sighed: "Your Majesty has been neglected by His Majesty, and she is depressed!"

The crowd nodded.

The imperial concubine walked in front, her eyes were filled with sadness.

"At the beginning, I thought you were a general at most, but now you can make His Majesty furious and Ning Xing panic. So far, a man can be called a hero!"

Northern Xinjiang sent troops.

Immediately the news spread everywhere, the palace was furious again, Jingtai went out to inquire, searched and searched, only knew that the news first came from the vegetable market.

……

"Zitai won the first battle, which made the emperor furious."

Zhou Zun returned home and told his father Zhou Qin about today's court meeting.

The weather was getting milder, and Zhou Qin was pacing in the courtyard with the birdcage in his hand.

"The old man sent someone to Beijiang to inquire in detail, but it's not easy to ask Zitai about such matters, so as not to suspect that Zhou's meddling in northern Xinjiang affairs. The old man found a reason for Zheng Qi's bet with Liang Jing, and asked people to ask People around Aning."

"If Kunzhou is broken..." Zhou Zun pondered for a long time today, "Beiliao shakes, and Zitai will be regarded as a deadly enemy. It can't be done! The internal disputes in Beiliao will be put aside temporarily and join forces to defend against the enemy."

"The old man is also a little puzzled, why is Zitai so anxious? Can't he sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and watch Ning Xing make a mess?" Zhou Qin teased the old dog, "He attacked like this to force the people inside the Beiliao Join hands!"

"Aye, but Zitai is like this, but no one dares to say that he used troops against Beiliao for his own selfishness. This is clearly for the country and the people!"

"That's what I said, but what's the use of the people's praise? If Zitai wants to be stable, he has to win word of mouth from the upper echelon. First stop fighting. In the eyes of the upper echelon, this is taking care of the overall situation."

"If he doesn't use troops, he is preserving his strength!"

Zhou Qin was stunned, "Yes! Even the old man admires the emperor's way of playing power. If Zitai doesn't send troops, it won't be long before the news of his self-respect will spread all over the world!"

"This man! Not to the left, not to the right, so, stay in the center!" Zhou Zun shook his head, thinking that it was too difficult for his son-in-law.

"What do you think of this battle?" Zhou Qin asked.

Zhou Zun said: "A known husband is more like a wife. According to Aning, Zitai's behavior seems to be radical, but these years, it has always been beneficial. He knows many things."

"Is this optimistic about his victory in this battle?"

"Correct."

"If he wins this battle, there will be a faint confrontation between Beijiang and Chang'an." Zhou Qin was a little excited, "Think about it, the Beiliao, which the Tang Dynasty dared not face up to, was repeatedly beaten by Zitai. This power ...the one in the pear garden is far behind!"

Zhou Zun said with a smile: "The emperor only knows how to play tricks. When it comes to fighting, he is not even worthy to carry Zitai's shoes."

"In this way, Zitai can get a glimpse of the merits of the dragon!" Zhou Qin narrowed his eyes, "King Wei seems to be dormant, and his lack of foundation behind him is his weakness, but he has no foundation behind him, and the reward is rich after he succeeds!

If it was the king of Yue, everyone knew that if he was in power, most of the rewards would be attributed to the Yingchuan Yang family.In this way, Zitai's close relationship with King Wei was a wonderful skill! "

An old servant came over, "Ah Lang, Mr. Beijiang, some gifts have been sent from the Beijiang Guild Hall, which are said to be special products of Beijiang."

"Mostly beef and mutton!"

Zhou Qin said with a smile: "It's just right, bring someone here, the old man has something to ask."

Jiang Xing was brought here, looking at the hulking back, but with a friendly smile like a businessman on his face.

"Meet Duke Zhou."

"Thanks for your hard work." Zhou Qin nodded, "How confident is Zitai in sending troops this time? If it's difficult to answer, then that's fine."

Jiang Xing said with a smile: "This battle, the Duke will win!"

Zhou Qin snorted, "Why?"

Jiang Xing said: "You can talk about it now. The Duke has planned to go north for many years. Once he makes a move, he will definitely lose his life!"

As for the strategy, sorry, there is no need to say.Moreover, Beijiang will not inform Jiang Xing and others.

Zhou Qin nodded, "Just have confidence!"

Jiang Xing thought, "Duke Zhou just needs to wait for the good news at home."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xing resigned.

Then go back with the cart.

Not far away, someone reminded, "Old Jiang, ahead!"

Jiang Xing looked up and saw Yang Songcheng and his party in front of him.

Someone said to Yang Songcheng: "Patriarch, that's from the Beijiang Guild Hall, and the leader is Yang Xuan's confidant!"

Yang Songcheng was about to enter the palace to discuss matters with his son-in-law. He glanced at Jiang Xing and said, "Northern Xinjiang barbarians!"

The head of the state has always been gentle and refined, and he would not yell at even his sworn enemies.

Of course, Yingchuan Yang's blood is noble, and it is possible to look down on people in the world.

He casually said that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang are inertia.

And the voice is very small, so I don't worry about being heard by Jiang Xing and others.

But what he didn't know was that Jiang Xing was able to be left in Chang'an by Yang Xuan because of his excellent hearing ability, he could act as a secret spy and listen to confidential matters when necessary.

Jiang Xing stopped, stared and shouted: "What are the northern Xinjiang barbarians?"

Pedestrians stopped on the street.

Yang Songcheng frowned, and said lightly, "It's dismissed."

He has a lot of things to do every day, just a casual sentence, but who knows that the opposite party has a quick ear.

But so what?
The Yang family of Yingchuan transformed into a master many years ago. In their eyes, ordinary people are also ants!

As for the barbarians, in the eyes of the Yingchuan Yang family, everyone except Guanzhong is a barbarian... There is a reason for this saying, it was said by the ancestors of the Yang family.

Over the years, Yang's family members have frequently used this phrase to attack their opponents.

The old man said that your family is a barbarian, do you accept it?
Not convinced to argue.

When the Yingchuan Yang family passed on their knowledge to the family, what was your family doing?Farming the land, or being a petty official...

Can't compare!

The Yang family in Yingchuan has been passed down for so long that some people say that the Yang family of iron is the dynasty of flowing water.

This is what the Yingchuan Yang family is proud of, and they say it as soon as they say it. In front of the head of the family with five surnames, Yang Songcheng dares to say this.

You are a barbarian!

A follower passed by, "Get out of the way!"

Jiang Xing said coldly: "No!"

The entourage's eyes turned cold, "You asked for it!"

"What do you want?" Jiang Xing took half a step back.

The entourage stretched out his hand and patted it, as fast as lightning.

Jiang Xing was waiting for the opponent to strike first.

The same is a slap.

Two hands meet in mid-air.

Snapped!
A hand hangs down.

In mid-air, you can see that the middle of the forearm is bent at a 45-degree angle.

He looked at the sky sadly.

……

Ask for a ticket!
