Chapter 648 Why Don't You Do Ban Dingyuan Once?
Yuezhou, called Baling in ancient times and Yueyang in later generations, has been an important town in Chu since the Spring and Autumn Period.

When it comes to Yueyang City, one has to mention Yueyang Tower. From Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower, the phrase "worry about the worries of the innate, and enjoy the joy of the world later." ' and 'If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your lord' appeared.

Because of Yueyang Tower, Yueyang Tower is well-known all over the world, and it has become a cultural signboard in Hunan and Chu.

After that, Yueyang Tower was burned down many times and rebuilt many times, and even became a signboard of Chinese culture.

At this time, Wang Yun, the governor of Yuezhou and the commander of the Yisheng capital of the Yuezhou navy, was waiting for the guests.

This guest is none other than Zhang Shaodi, the military envoy of the Yamen of the original Ma Chu Tiance who is coming today.

Wang Yun was indeed up for sale, because Yuezhou's geographical location was so important, and the generals in Yisheng City also expected Wang Yun to take advantage of this advantage and sell them for a good price.

Moreover, Wang Yun did not confine their future to Zhou Guo's family in the Central Plains, otherwise he would not let Gao Baoxu and others leave, because Gao Baoxu had to pass through Yuezhou when he arrived in Ezhou.

This was also the reason why He Jingzhu was eager to play Li Jing. Wang Yun's statement made He Jingzhu feel that it was very possible to recruit this general from Ma Chu's side, and then take Jiangling with the help of Gao Baoxu and others.

After repeated letters of persuasion, Li Jing finally agreed to recruit Wang Yun, and promoted Yuezhou to Jiezhen, calling it Jiedushi of Yisheng Town in Yuezhou.

He appointed Wang Yun as the general of Longxiang Wei, the Jiedu envoy of the Yisheng Army in Yuezhou, made Xu Guogong, and bestowed a thousand pieces of brocade, ten gold and jade belts, ten sets of robes, and five hundred silver collars.

The Southern Tang court also planned to add a 2000-strong forbidden army in Yuezhou, which belonged to the commander-in-chief Wang Yun, but the military salary was borne by the Southern Tang court.

In addition to giving to Wang Yun, Li Jing also sent silk and silk worth [-] guan, which was used to reward all the soldiers in Yishengdu.

As soon as this condition was met, Wang Yun's brows were filled with joy, as if he was floating in the nine heavens. If he hadn't been thinking about waiting for the price of Zhongyuan Shaotianzi, Wang Yun would have agreed immediately.

However, he finally discussed it with his generals. Now the general situation in the world, Zhou Guo in the Central Plains seems to be doing much better than Tang Guo, and even the Tang Lord has to submit to Shao Tianzi.

For hugging the thigh, of course, the thickest one must be hugged. Wang Yun decided that as long as the reward of Shao Tianzi can be [-]% of that of the Tang Lord, and he can also be given the position of a feudal town, allowing him to stay in Yuezhou forever, then he will definitely Still have to choose the Central Plains court.

Wang Yun waited bitterly on the Yueyang Tower. Zhang Shaodi and Yang Jiye, together with more than a dozen elite soldiers, had sneaked into Yuezhou City.

Jinyi's personal guards had long designed to lure Gao Baoxu to Ezhou, in order to hold Nantang's handle and scare Nantang from sending a navy to go against the water. Naturally, they would also infiltrate Yuezhou along the way.

Being able to reach into Yuezhou across thousands of mountains and rivers is not all due to Jinyi's personal guards' great supernatural powers, nor is it all due to the outstanding abilities of Zhang Liecheng, Zhang Lieming, and Li Xiaojie.

The biggest reason is that Zhang Ting integrated Jinyi Qinwei and Hexi Chamber of Commerce to a certain extent.

The Hexi Chamber of Commerce has gained a reputation since holding the four hard currencies of spices, rock sugar, white sugar, and cotton.

Because no matter who is in the world, as long as they want to live a good life, they cannot lack these four things.

If you don’t have fragrant leaves, nutmeg, anise and other spices for eating meat, if you don’t have rock sugar and white sugar from Hexi for making drinks, and if you don’t wear cotton-padded jackets or quilts in winter, you are still considered a rich family?
But these things are basically monopolized by the Hexi Chamber of Commerce. All large and small merchants need to register with the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, and even many merchants who travel north and south are themselves merchants from Hexi.

At the same time, silk, porcelain, tea, and iron products from all over the world need to make money through the Silk Road, which also requires the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, relying on this line, Jinyi's personal guards can use their power to wholesale some of Hexi's most in-demand commodities at low prices and help merchants from various countries to quickly clear customs in Hexi to develop agents and secret agents.

Moreover, it is not easy to guard against those in power in various countries. You can't catch all the businessmen in one go, can you?In that case, it would be a mess.

Following Yang Jiye, there was a Jinyi school lieutenant, but he didn't come to bring Yang Jiye to contact the spies of the Jinyi Guard in Yuezhou City, because the key spies of the Jin Yiwei were all single-line contacts, recognizing things but not people.

This Jin Yiwei had a token of identity on him, but Yang Jiye only knew how and where to contact him.

The three are indispensable, and only when the three parties are present, the Jin Yiwei in Yuezhou City will listen to Yang Jiye.

In fact, Yuezhou is not like a fortress along the Yangtze River, or since Jiangling, all the important towns along the river have such problems.

Since the economic center of gravity began to move southward, there were fewer wars in the south, and the two lakes along the river were gradually densely populated. With the convenience of water transportation, it was very suitable for the development of commodity economy.

As a result, a large number of people gathered outside the big cities such as Jiangling, Yuezhou, Ezhou (Wuchang), and Jiangzhou (Jiujiang).

They built shacks outside the cities of these fortresses, and even lived together with similar houses in the city, such as Yuezhou, where the city walls could not be seen in many places.

Moreover, for the convenience of going out of the city and tax evasion, residents outside the city have dug small tunnels in many places, and even opened small doors in a grand manner.

Yang Jiye and the others walked through such a small door, and it was an eye-opener for him to connect with Yang Jiye. It was not the merchant or the city fox and social mouse he imagined, but the soldiers under the command of the Yuezhou Tuntian Envoy.

The leader, Dutou, grandiosely led them into the Yamen of the Yuezhou Tuntian Envoy. After the two sides verified the token on the Jinyi Xiaowei who followed Yang Jiye, the real mastermind behind the scenes appeared.

Xu Songzhi, the envoy of Ma Chuyue State's farm, was dragged into the water by Jinyi's personal guards, Zhang Shaodi couldn't help grinning behind him when he saw this.

According to Ma Chu's national policy, due to the fact that there are many barbarians in Hunan, in order to ensure that Tiance Mansion can control all parts of the country, Ma Chu set up garrison envoys in every prefecture.

The garrison envoys are responsible for recruiting refugees, state and county athletes and even criminals, and garrisoning the fields in the rich lands of each state for self-defense.

It can be said that in addition to Ma Chu's forbidden army and the Yabing soldiers of various towns, the garrison envoys and garrison soldiers are the most important forces in the local area, and they are the key to Ma Chu's Tiance Mansion's ability to control the local area.

As a result, the farm envoy of a big state like Yuezhou was taken down so easily.

Xu Songzhi didn't know Zhang Shaodi yet, so after a few pleasantries, Xu Songzhi began to introduce the situation in Yuezhou.

Zhang Shaodi didn't know what to say and listened quietly, and after a while he understood why this happened.

There is no special reason, it is still a matter of interests.

Wang Huan is the absolute confidant of Ma Chu's founding king, Wu Mu Wang Ma Yin. He guarded Yuezhou for 20 years, defeated Wu Tang six times, and Jingnan twice. .

Therefore, at the very beginning, the Yuezhou garrison sent by the Tiance Mansion was a bit difficult to carry on. It was okay when Wang Huan was there, he was a loyal minister, he also had prestige, and he could suppress the generals under his command.

In the time of Wang Yun, he did not have the prestige of his father Wang Huan. In order to maintain the power of the Wang family in Yuezhou, he could only gradually change from the commander of the capital who controlled Yishengdu to the general who was controlled by the soldiers of Yishengdu. He became the spokesperson of this interest group, and was constantly pushed by them to draw all the benefits that originally belonged to the imperial court to the generals of Yisheng capital.

Among them, the ones who suffered the most were of course Yuezhou's garrison envoys and garrison soldiers. Most of the fields they worked hard to reclaim were occupied by the soldiers and generals of Yishengdu.

Many of the field soldiers even became serfs of Yishengdu generals. Correspondingly, Xu Songzhi, the field envoy, was not as good as a top ten general of Yishengdu, and of course he would be wooed by Jinyi's personal guards.

Zhang Shaodi sighed, this is the father and son of the tiger!

The founding king of Wumu, Ma Yin, was such a hero. On his 70th birthday, even Khitan in the far north sent envoys to celebrate his birthday.

After arriving in Ma Xifan, in just over ten years, Ma Chu's Tiance Mansion, the Sixth Army System, and the Farming System were completely ruined.

Of course, Yang Jiye couldn't be as emotional as Zhang Shaodi. The 16-year-old Yang Wudi still couldn't understand the sadness of a man in his forties like Zhang Shaodi. He thought of another problem.

The naval army of Ma Chuyi Shengdu has eaten all the benefits of the six counties in Yuezhou. Seeing that Yuezhou is a tyrant, is there any need for the imperial court to recruit them?

This Wang Yun overshadows the sky in Yuezhou with one hand, and has more power than ordinary Jiedu envoys. He is no different from an independent country. If you want to recruit him, not to mention the rewards, at least you can't reduce his power.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiye thought of the policy implemented by his adoptive father, Shao Mingzi. Even people like Yin Zhengqi, Ma Zhaoyuan, and Zhang Zhao were sent out, and they no longer had the full power of Jiedushi. A little Wang Yun , is it worth such a delegation?

However, although he thought of this, he didn't show it, because Zhang Shaodi is also an unknown variable to him now.

The trust of the foster father and the son of heaven belongs to the trustee, that is at the top, and he, Yang Jiye, is the specific executor, so Zhang Shaodi cannot be casually referred to as a confidant who has nothing to say.

"Captain Xu, has Ezhou sent any news?"

So after listening to Xu Songzhi talk about the situation in Yuezhou for a while, Yang Jiye stood up and asked softly.

"Yes! Yes!" Xu Songzhi replied repeatedly, then took out a writing brush from his body, first let Yang Jiye see the mark of Jinyi's personal guard on it, and then broke the writing brush in front of him to show that he did not Disassembled it by myself.

Yang Jiye took out a small piece of silk full of small characters from the brush holder, and then frowned and began to translate.

This thing is written in Chinese pinyin, and Yang Jiye not only has to spell it out first, but also converts it into Mandarin, which is quite different from the pronunciation at this time.

Due to the problem of pronunciation habits, this is far more difficult than learning the Turkic or Khitan dialect at this time. Even Yang Jiye, who is suddenly asked to speak in Mandarin as long as he is with Zhang Ting, finds it a bit difficult to understand.

After about two quarters of an hour, Yang Jiye finally translated the complete translation, then he retreated to the inner room and said to Zhang Shaodi and Captain Jinyi who followed him.

"The trouble is serious. Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not only rewarded nearly [-] guan in wealth, but also agreed to canonize Wang Yun as the envoy of the Yisheng Army in Yuezhou, and conferred the title of Xu Guogong."

"Hiss!" Enemy Young Master Zhang not only gasped, but then said with admiration: "It seems that the last time the sage personally raised the army, he broke the courage of the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

One must know that Wang Huan, Wang Yun and his son had defeated the Southern Tang army several times, and Li Jing was so small that he was willing to offer such a reward. It seemed that he must be extremely afraid of the court. "

A look of complacency appeared on Yang Jiye's face. After all, he was a young man, and he was with Zhang Ting when he was nine years old, and was raised in the palace. Hearing someone praise Zhang Ting was more effective than flattering him. .

But in the end it was Mr. Yang, who was so proud for a while, then calmed down. He looked at Zhang Shaodi and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you think we can still recruit Wang Yun?"

Zhang Shaodi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "The price offered by the imperial court is far inferior to that offered by the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, moreover."

He looked at Yang Jiye and smiled faintly, "Does Du Yuhou think that the imperial court still needs to recruit Wang Yun?"

"Hahaha!" Yang Jiye chuckled a few times, "Mr. Zhang is indeed the great talent in the south of the sky that my father favors. Indeed, there is no need to recruit Wang Yun and Yi Shengdu.

But this is a matter that needs to be decided by a saint. We only need to think about what to do now? "

Zhang Shaodi saw that Yang Jiye was confident and eager to try, and immediately cupped his hands and asked, "Marquis Du Yu already has a good strategy in mind, I, an old soldier, am willing to take orders."

Although he knew that Zhang Shaodi was flattering him, Yang Jiye still felt very comfortable, he said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, why should he be so self-effacing? Everyone employs people only on their talents. As long as you have talents and learning, you will definitely put them to good use.

The boy is not yet a weak crown, so he is not as well-informed as Mr. Zhang. Today, I have a small idea, and I ask Mr. Zhang to help me with it. "

"Please speak, Marquis Du Yu."

Yang Jiye's posture also made Zhang Shaodi feel very comfortable. He was not afraid of anything else, only afraid of Yang Jiye, the adopted son of the emperor, who was too proud and had eyes above the top, so it would be too uncomfortable for him to cooperate.

Yang Jiye coughed, then looked at Zhang Shaodi and Captain Jinyi and said.

"The current plan, we go to the door, and the conditions will definitely not impress Wang Yun, so I thought, why not break into the temporary residence of the Southern Tang envoys in the north of the city before going to see Wang Yun, and kill them all! "

"Hiss!" Zhang Shaodi gasped for the second time, and it was different from the first time, the first time was pretending, this time it was real.

He looked at Yang Jiye in shock, thought carefully for a while, but had to admit that this was a bold but extremely effective strategy.

Originally, Ma Chu and Nan Tang had been at odds since the time of Ma Yin and Yang Xingmi, and Wang Huan, Wang Yun and his son were even more troublesome in Nan Tang, and the two sides did not trust each other very much.

Now as long as the secret envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty died in Yuezhou, Wang Yun would have a hundred mouths, which is not clear.

Moreover, the envoys from the Southern Tang came in secret, and only Wang Yun knew where he was staying. Now that he was killed, in the view of Southern Tang, it was 100% that Wang Yun wanted to seek refuge with the state of Zhou, so he accepted the vote.

Who would have known that around Gao Baoxu and in the Wuchang Army of Ezhou, there were guards of Jinyi's personal guards.

Zhang Shaodi agreed immediately, and he further proposed, "If you want to kill, then you must find a way to deal with Wang Yun.

In the past, his father, Wang Huan, was a brave general under his father's command. Marquis Duyu might as well exaggerate the imperial court's rewards, and together with a certain one, suppress Wang Yun first, and wait for the imperial army to arrive. "

Captain Jinyi also arched his hands when he heard what the two said, "Jinyi's personal guards found a left-handed Yadu Yuhou named Pan Shusi in Yishengdu. .

Du Yuhou and Zhang Gong wanted to assassinate the secret envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so a certain person went to find Pan Shusi in order to deal with Wang Yun in the future. "

The three of them discussed and decided to split up and act immediately, Yang Jiye went to call up the men, Zhang Shaodi went to survey the route, and Captain Jinyi went to instigate Pan Shusi's rebellion.

. . . .

In the north of the city, this is a small courtyard with two entrances. It is the outer house of Wang En, the capital of Yisheng, Wang Yun's younger brother. The surrounding area is relatively quiet and there are few people.

The housewife who originally lived here was a housewife of Wang Enyang. Half a month ago, the housewife broke her leg and went back to her natal home to recuperate. She happened to be used to accommodate the Southern Tang envoys.

The envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was an internal servant surnamed Sun, and six soldiers led by a ten general of the Wuchang Army were protecting him. Outside, there were six or seven tooth soldiers from Yishengdu, with a total force of less than 15 people. .

Yang Jiye gently nibbled a small snack made from hawthorn and white sugar, a bit like fruit peel. This thing is sour and sweet, with high sugar content. Before the war, he gnawed a few pieces to increase his energy reserves.

While listening to the garrison soldiers sent by the garrison envoy Xu Songzhi describe the situation in the house, he quickly made arrangements. This time there were fifty cavalry following Yang Jiye, but thirty of them were outside the city.

Because Yang Jiye originally wanted to understand the situation before going to Wang Yun, but unexpectedly, he found out such a big situation in one go.

He looked at and said to the regrettable soldiers of Shandu who started to wear the ring armor behind him: "There are few people in the house. Although they are also soldiers, it is impossible to wear armor at any time. Even if they are armor, the thieves of the Southern Tang Dynasty are not me. It is regrettable that Shandu is a hero's opponent.

So after rushing in, no chickens or dogs were left behind, regardless of men and women, all of them were killed to prevent the main target from slipping away.

Zhao Jingangnu, you are in charge of leading five people to guard the windows and secret passages in the house, so you must check carefully. "

Zhao Jingangnu is a Tubo with a few plateau reds on his face, but now he does not admit that he is a Tubo, and insists that his father is the ten generals of the Longyou Jiedu envoy in the past, and Tang'er who was trapped in Tubo.

Zhao Jingangnu nodded, inserted a bone into the belt, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Du Yuhou, no one can escape Lao Zhao's tricks."

Of course Yang Jiye knew how reliable Zhao Jingangnu was. He was a good hunter who could catch Tibetan foxes even in snowy nights. His nose was sharper than a dog's. He could even smell people hiding around from the air.

. . . .

Sun's servant was a little uneasy, because Wang Yun didn't respond to such a generous offer, which showed that he was still waiting, waiting for Zhou's surrender conditions.

In today's general situation in the world, Zhou Guo, as the imperial court of the Central Plains, is naturally more attractive than the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is watching the situation go from bad to worse. Therefore, even with such a generous offer, Sun's servant is still afraid that Wang Yun will vote for Zhou.

If they voted for Zhou, I am afraid that people from the Southern Tang Dynasty would be used as voters in the first place.

While he was worrying, he suddenly heard a noise outside. On the quiet street, there were many footsteps coming and going.

The servant Sun jumped up and went out to have a look with two soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But before they went out, the ten generals of Yisheng who were in charge of protecting them walked in.

"Sun Sheren, don't panic, the firewood pile diagonally across from the family caught fire, and they are trying to put out the fire."

Sun's housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and several soldiers in the room who were finding out the armor and were about to put it on quickly put the armor away again, for fear that the Chu army outside would see them and think they were cowardly.

Yang Jiye took the lead, and 22 people with coats and robes, ring lock armor inside, and hands tucked into their arms appeared together, which was still very conspicuous.

Fortunately, the raging fire provided them with a good cover. The two Yishengdu tooth soldiers who were in charge of observing the situation at the gate of the house did not look at them at all.

Because the house that caught fire turned out not to be on fire, but to a vendor engaged in the sale of Hexi rock sugar.

The fire was lit by the brothers of the lady in the house, and after a while, a delicate little lady and the maid of the little lady were frightened out.

At this moment, the eldest lady in the main room is roaring, desperately ripping off the clothes of the young lady in the outer room, her white thighs and swaying small breasts amuse the two tooth soldiers.

If it weren't for something really busy today, the two of them would still go up and help the lady in the main room catch the two little Shaohuo.

After the ten generals appeased Sun's servant, he saw this scene as soon as he went out, and he was also happy at the moment. The two dental soldiers at the door dared not leave, but he did not dare.

Tut tut!The little lady in the outer room was torn off the clothes on her chest, and at the opening, the inside of the bright red apron was like waves rising and falling, and her two thin white arms fluttered up and down, not to mention how attractive it is!

The ten generals laughed loudly, "Wu that little lady, come to a certain house, and take care of your eldest lady not to dare to touch you!"

Hearing what the ten generals said, the little lady in the outer room actually ran towards the ten generals, and the ten generals were so happy that they opened their hands from afar, and their eyes narrowed seductively.

Suddenly, just as the ten generals were about to embrace the beauty, someone patted him on the shoulder.

The ten generals thought it was the tooth soldiers behind him who were eating, and deliberately made trouble. His expression changed, and he waved his hand, wanting to knock off the hand on his shoulder.

Unexpectedly, a strong force came from him, and he was pulled to the side. Before he could yell, his mouth was suddenly covered by a piece of sour cloth, and then his neck was caught under a strong arm.

The tenth general had been in the army for a long time, so he knew immediately that something was wrong. He was about to struggle when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.

Once, twice, three times, each time stabbed in the waist of time, to be precise on his kidney, and not only pierced, but also stirred.

At the juncture of life and death, the hurricane adrenaline overwhelmed the severe pain. Ten Generals opened his mouth to shout, but he didn't expect the piece of cloth to be stuffed into his mouth, preventing him from shouting.

And after struggling violently for three or four times, the ten generals suddenly lost all their strength, no matter how their heads directed their hands and feet, they couldn't move their hands and feet any more.

In a few seconds at most, the effect of adrenaline subsided, and the severe pain immediately spread to the whole body. Ten generals felt as if he was drowning. He couldn't breathe air, and the things in front of him were rapidly blurring.

Soon, all he could see was the red apron that seemed to be flying, and a sound of water leaking rang in his ears, and then Ten Jiang fell heavily to the ground.

His last consciousness flashed like a flash of light, and he was miraculously able to swing his right hand, and the ten generals stretched out three fingers with all their strength.

There must have been three people hurting him just now, a strong man with great strength clamped him, and two masters with knives smashed his waist to pieces.

At the moment when the ten generals fell, Yang Jiye rushed forward, and the bone in his hand directly opened a Yishengdu tooth soldier at the door.

Holding a longbow, Zhang Shaodi shot the other tooth soldier to the ground early on, spitting blood at the mouth.

The lady in the main room and the young lady in the outer room stopped fighting at the door, and they quickly dragged the corpses of the ten generals and the two dental soldiers to the side of the road, so as not to attract the attention of others.

At the same time, the soldiers of Regret Mountain Capital held small round shields, bones and long daggers, and rushed in silently.

No matter whether it was the dental soldiers of Yishengdu or the soldiers of the Wuchang Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the room, they were brutally thrown to the ground and stabbed to death one by one before they had time to put on their armor or even take out their weapons.

Sun's housekeeper screamed in horror, and he quickly escaped through the window of the house, but he didn't think that behind the window, Zhao Jingangnu had already ambushed here.

The waiter Sun yelled, and stabbed at him with a short dagger in his hand. Zhao Jingangnu smiled cruelly, advancing instead of retreating, twisting the hand of the waiter Sun holding the short dagger with one hand, and making several big pockets back and forth with the other hand.

Just like Zhao Jingangnu, a super killer who weighs [-] kilograms and has at least hundreds of lives under his command, even if he doesn't use a weapon, he can use his big hand as big as a cattail leaf fan with cocoons harder than copper and iron. Can resist.

The four big pushers directly slapped the servant Sun and passed out.

Then Zhao Jingangnu carefully examined his body until he found the seal, letter and waist badge, and then cut off his entire head while Sun's servant screamed in pain when he suddenly woke up.
