Monument Yangmen

Chapter 415 Corrupted Daizhou

After the night at the hotel, Yang Qi had three little tails around him.

Ergouzi, Zhongheng, and Di Sanlang.

Er Gouzi's name sounded awkward, so Yang Qi changed Er Gouzi's name forcefully.

Yang Shun.

This is Er Gouzi's new name.

Zhongheng, this little guy, has a bit of background.

His grandfather was actually a famous Confucian in Song Dynasty.

It stands to reason that with a grandfather who is a great Confucian, it should be smooth sailing for Zhong Heng to pursue his career as a civil servant.

However, this little guy is rebellious by nature, doesn't like literature, and prefers martial arts.

Without telling his family, he sneaked into Yanmen Pass and successfully joined the Volcanic Army.

Di Sanlang is an ordinary guy with no background and nothing worth thinking about.

He gave people the impression that he was as ordinary as a wandering man he met casually on the road.

With the three little guys following him, Yang Qi's next day's itinerary became less lonely.

The three little fellows were Yang Qi's bodyguards in name, but they were young and their natures were undecided, and they ran around all the way, having a great time.

Yang Qi also let it go, and did not restrain them with strict military laws.

As the evening approached, everyone finally arrived at Daizhou City.

The battle at Yanmen Pass had just ended, and Daizhou City seemed a little depressed.

The barracks of the Datong Army five miles outside the city were dilapidated.

There are also pitifully few soldiers and horses guarding the city wall.

Entering the city, there are very few pedestrians on the street in twos and threes, and most of them are disabled.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, but many of them are closed.

Only a few restaurants and brothels were open.

"Whoosh~"

Suddenly, an arrow flew down from a roof and shot at Yang Qi.

"There are assassins."

Di Sanlang exclaimed, and guarded him in front of Yang Qi.

The arrow hit exactly one foot in front of Di Sanlang's feet.

"Shu~"

The soldiers of the Volcanic Army drew out their long knives one by one, and surrounded Yang Qi with vigilance.

In the shops on both sides, many heads suddenly popped out, looking this way.

Yang Qi laughed lightly, jumped off the horse, pushed aside the crowd, walked to the arrow, pulled out the arrow, and looked at the engraved skull on the arrow.

Yang Qi laughed and said, "Is this reminding me not to mess around in Daizhou City?"

Lao Ge approached Yang Qi and said in a low voice: "Master Qi, there are quite a few people who are hostile to us in Daizhou City. Let's go back to the other courtyard first. It's safe in the other courtyard."

Yang Qi waved his hand and said calmly, "No need. It's just a bunch of mice."

Yang Qi looked around and snorted coldly: "A group of rats, but they are not cowardly. Don't forget, the surname of this generation of Zhoucheng is Yang. From now on, this generation of Zhoucheng will be decided by me, Yang Yansi.

challenge me?You will pay the price. "

"In this generation of state cities, all the widows of military martyrs live, or brothers who were injured on the battlefield."

A dull voice came from the depths of the street.

Yang Qi smiled coldly and said: "In the past, my father let himself go and let you live here. It was because of your merits on the battlefield. However, you have no right to be arrogant. What I give you is yours. , but you are not qualified to snatch it from me. If you deceive the master with your servants, you should die."

"Can you still kill all the people in Daizhou City?"

That voice sounded again.

Yang Qi looked at the place where the voice came from, and said coldly: "You can try and see if I dare to kill."

"Whoosh~"

Another arrow shot over, piercing through the arm of Di Sanlang who was standing in front of Yang Qi.

Yang Qi became angry all of a sudden.

"Go out of the city, summon the Datong Army, and enter the city to suppress the rebellion."

Yang Qi asked Di Sanlang to be supported, and he withdrew out of the city with his horse on his shoulders.

In the depths of the street, a group of people ambushed here. A man missing an arm asked the one-eyed man who was the leader.

"Brother, the higher-ups asked us to scare him and tell him not to mess around after entering the city. Now we force him away, what should we do?"

The one-eyed man sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? He can really mobilize an army to fight in. The people living in this city are all soldiers who have contributed to the Yang family and the Huoshan Army.

If Yang Qi dared to raise the butcher's knife, then the Yang family would not be able to recruit a single soldier in the northwest. "

The one-armed man frowned and said, "But, the Yang family is the master of Daizhou City. Is there something wrong with us doing this?"

The one-eyed man said indifferently: "Since Yang Ye handed over the management of this Daizhou City to the higher authorities, how can there be any reason to take it back? Yang Yansi is just a brat. Taking power from us. So self-righteous."

……

Outside Daizhou City.

Yang Qi straddled the horse, his face ashen.

"Who can tell me what's going on in Daizhou City?"

Lao Ge explained with a bitter face: "Master Qi, when the master voted for the Song Dynasty, the imperial court appointed the master the governor of the contemporary state and served as the governor of the Datong Army at the same time. However, the imperial court did not transfer the officials of the previous Dai state.

The master is only good at military formations, not good at managing places.Over time, these officials of the imperial court hooked up with the remnants of the retired Volcanic Army. "

With a dark face, Yang Qi said: "Then, my father was dismissed? Can't bear to take action against the old department?"

Lao Ge nodded awkwardly.

Yang Qi laughed sarcastically and said, "No wonder that when Yanmenguan was in danger, there was no support from Daizhou."

Lao Ge scratched his head, and said with a dry smile: "The situation in Daizhou is complicated. If we want to take over Daizhou, we have to think long-term."

Yang Qi asked back: "Where do I have time to discuss long-term plans with them?"

Lao Ge smiled wryly: "Does Qi Ye really want to march into Daizhou City?"

Yang Qi said calmly: "Why not?"

Lao Ge persuaded: "There are many old men in Daizhou City, and some of them have higher qualifications than the little old man. They can't be killed. Once killed, the reputation of the Yang family in the northwest will be bad."

Yang Qi laughed angrily, "Could it be that if you don't kill them, the reputation of the Yang family will be improved? With this gang of bullying their masters, what do you think the Yang family has a good reputation in the northwest?

Also, you think I don't kill them.Can they live well?
Why did the imperial court send Lu Duan to the northwest?To rectify military affairs and supervise government affairs by the way, once he sees the virtue of Daizhou, do you think he will stand by and watch?

In his hand, he has a tiger talisman bestowed by the imperial court, which can mobilize more than [-] soldiers and horses in the northwest.

At that time, he will come to Daizhou City.Do you think people in the city have other ways to go besides dead end? "

Lao Ge was dumbfounded, and said in astonishment: "Is there a soldier talisman in Lu Duan's hand?"

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Of course."

Lao Ge nodded with lingering fear in his heart, and said, "This subordinate understands."

Yang Qi said meaningfully: "I know that you people also have many brothers in Daizhou City. I will give you a day to tell them, bring your family members, and gather at the Datong Army camp. One day later, I We are about to attack Daizhou City. When the time comes, anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

Lao Ge was stunned, staring, and said: "How do you know?"

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "If your brothers weren't there, would you speak well for them?"

Lao Ge blushed.

Yang Qi left Daizhou City and went straight to the Datong Army barracks outside the city.

At the same time, he sent Yang Shun to Yanmen Pass to mobilize 2000 troops from the Zamahe tribe who were preparing to retreat.He also sent Zhong Heng to recruit Kou Zhun.

At the beginning, Yang Qi arranged Kou Zhun to serve as magistrate in a small county below Daizhou through means.

Now, it's time to use this move.

Yang Qi took the rest of the people to the gate of the Datong Army barracks.

Looking at the dilapidated Datong army barracks like a refugee camp, Yang Qi frowned.

Before that, Yang Qi felt that the Yongning Army's barracks were the worst barracks he had ever seen.

It wasn't until he saw the barracks of the Datong Army that Yang Qi realized that there is no such thing as the worst, only worse.

The barracks of the Datong Army didn't even have a barracks.

All the soldiers lived in adobe houses that were in disrepair.

The old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were lying in the sun one by one, howling with yellow and emaciated faces.

The younger ones get together, gamble, and catch lice.

The only thing that can be seen is the simple blacksmith shop in the corner.

It's just that the blacksmiths in the shop are throwing rusty weapons into the furnace, turning them into molten iron, and turning them into farm tools.

Some Daizhou civilians, who were different from the soldiers in the camp, surrounded the blacksmith shop in twos and threes, picking out farm tools.

"This is a military camp, a scum camp at all."

Yang Qi gritted his teeth and entered the camp.

The soldiers of the Volcanic Army lined up and entered the camp with neat steps.

Immediately aroused the idea of ​​​​some officials in the camp.

There was a guy with a mustache, holding Fan Yangli sideways, rubbing the mud on his body, and moving in front of Yang Qi and the others with a zigzag step.

"Heroes of the Volcano Army, what are you doing in our Datong Army barracks?"

The man with the mustache rubbed the dirt on his armpit, couldn't help but took out his hand, sniffed it, and asked cheerfully.

Di Sanlang, who had bandaged his wound, stood up straight, and shouted: "We were ordered to take over the Datong Army."

"Take over the Datong Army?"

The man with the mustache looked up and laughed as if he had heard a funny joke.

He also ignored Di Sanlang, but stepped in front of Yang Qi.

"Looking at your appearance, you should be an official sent from above. To tell you the truth, go back. A place like the Datong Army is not something you can come to.

I know that the Volcanic Army suffered heavy losses at Yanmen Pass.You want to select strong men from the Datong Army to make up for the vacancies in the Volcano Army.

However, our Datong Army has confiscated strong men for a long time.

Now here, they are all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, or just a group of prostitutes. "

Yang Qi said with a half-smile, "I just want to earn a share in the Datong Army."

The man with the mustache grinned and said, "You're really good at telling jokes when you come here for money. The brothers haven't seen the money for more than a year. It is said that the money of the brothers was used by General Yang to subsidize him. Pro-army Volcano Army.

You came here to spend money, but you came to the wrong place. "

"nonsense."

Lao Ge said indignantly: "The old man has never used any of the military pay of the Datong Army. All the military salaries distributed by the imperial court to the Datong Army have been sent to you on time."

The man with the mustache spread his hands and said, "But the superior said that General Yang took all the military pay. That's why there is no pay for everyone. As for who of you is lying, then I don't know."

Yang Qi asked with all his thoughts: "Then who is joining the army of the Datong Army now?"

The man with the mustache said: "Yang Canjun, it is said that he is the nephew of Yang Bao, who is in charge of the city."

After the man with the mustache finished speaking, he leaned close to Yang Qi again, and said in a low voice, "It is said that the custodian of Yang is the illegitimate son of General Yang. So, even if they are greedy for money, you'd better Don't mess with them either. General Yang is on top of them, so a petty official like you can't afford to offend them."

"Ha~"

Mentioning Yang Bao, Yang Qi had a little impression.

It seems that this person was not called Yang Bao before, but Qian Bao. Later, in order to curry favor with Lao Yang, he specially changed his surname to Yang Bao.

Every year during festivals, the family will always receive a lot of gifts from Yang Bao.

If you think about it carefully, Daizhou is so corrupt, it probably has something to do with this guy named Yang Bao.

However, Yang Bao is the illegitimate son of Lao Yang, where does this come from?

"I've lived in the capital for a long time, but I've never heard of General Yang and an illegitimate son."

Yang Qi said amusedly.

The man with the mustache grinned and said, "It's because you haven't heard of it that you are an illegitimate child. If you have heard of it, then you are the real young master of the Yang family."

Gradually, many people noticed Yang Qi and his party, and everyone gathered together.

After hearing the conversation between Yang Qi and the character Hu, someone interjected: "If Yang Bao is not the illegitimate son of General Yang, how could he be messing around in Daizhou City without being restrained?"

"Yes, yes, since you are from the capital, you must have a lot of connections in the capital. You'd better ask a connection to get you away from this place. This place is not for people at all."

Yang Qi smiled lightly: "Go away? I can't go! Both His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister have given me orders to stay in Daizhou."

"Yell~"

All of a sudden, these people started booing.

"Look at you, you're not very old, and you're not too old as an official. You were actually ordered by the emperor and the prime minister to get you to Daizhou. Did you offend someone in the capital?"

Yang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said: "They killed the Pan family before, they were afraid that I would kill more people when I returned to the capital. That's why they let me come to Daizhou."

"Shout, young man, the cowhide blows a lot."

"Kill the Pan family? Who do you think you are? Please ask before you brag."

"..."

Yang Qi waved his hands, suppressed their chattering voices, and then said loudly: "Can you pass a message for me?"

The man with mustache stared at Yang Qi contemptuously, and said, "What message?"

Men in the Northwest are straightforward.

They look down on those who brag in public.

Yang Qi smiled lightly and said: "Within a stick of incense, I will meet all the people from the Datong Army at Dianjiangtai. Anyone who doesn't make it, get out of the Datong Army camp before the evening."
