Monument Yangmen

Chapter 484
Wang Gui's description is easy to understand.

The so-called thief of the family means that he betrayed the Zhao family and became a family thief in Zhao's eyes.

The so-called great thief of the nation means betraying the entire nation and becoming a great thief of the nation.

However, these two choices were placed in front of Lao Yang, which made Lao Yang very embarrassed.

The Yang family won Fengzhou and guarded Fengzhou, which undoubtedly betrayed Zhao Guangyi, but this is a great thing for the nation.

Others, Lao Yang dare not say that in the matter of guarding Fengzhou, Lao Yang can definitely prevent the Liao people from invading.

Even Lao Yang can guarantee that before all the male members of the Yang family are dead, it is impossible for the Liao people to pass through Fengzhou and enter the territory of the Central Plains.

However, as a loyal minister, and an upright loyal minister.

To do so violated his morality as a courtier.

Looking at it the other way around, let the Liao people take Fengzhou by letting Fengzhou stay.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Liao people to invade the south by watching the Liao people open the door to the Central Plains.

This is a great disaster for the nation.

It would have been fine if Lao Yang hadn't encountered this matter, but now that he has, how could he ignore it?
Is it really necessary for him to watch the people fall into dire straits?

Speaking of it, it is also because of the special terrain formed by the three states of Toyosu, Daizhou, and Shengzhou that it has caused today's situation.

On the northeast border of Shengzhou and Daizhou, a large mountain stretches across, forming a natural barrier. The Yanmen Gate guards the mountain pass on the Daizhou side, blocking the footsteps of the Liao people from invading southward.

Shengzhou has become another big mountain pass.

And the mountain pass of Dashan is also in the shape of a pot mouth.

It was difficult for the Liao people to break through from Shengzhou, and aggressively invaded the Song Dynasty southward.

Because once the Liao army wants to break through Shengzhou, they can only borrow from Fengzhou.

The first to bear the brunt was the party members.

If the Liao people wanted to deal with the Dangxiang people, they had to use some means.

By the time they wiped out the party members and invaded Da Song again, Da Song had already set up a defense line in Daizhou.

Therefore, invading from Shengzhou is tantamount to provoking a war between the Song Dynasty and the Dangxiang at the same time, which is a bit of a loss.

However, after Guo Da won Fengzhou, it was different.

Toyosu is flat.

Once the Liao people took Fengzhou, it was equivalent to having a place to garrison troops, and it was also equivalent to having a place to buffer.

The Liao people can not only continue to station troops in Fengzhou, but also use Fengzhou to continuously invade the territory of the Song Dynasty and cause damage to the Song Dynasty.

Once they find an opportunity, Fengzhou's Liao soldiers will drive straight into Song Dynasty.

It can be said that in the northwest, Fengzhou is a place where military strategists must contend.

But now, whether to want Fengzhou or not, this dilemma is in front of Lao Yang.

Lao Yang was very hesitant. He didn't want to be a thief of the family, nor a thief of the nation.

Falling into hesitation, Lao Yang frowned and sat down on the chair.

Seeing that Lao Yang was so worried and confused, Wang Gui couldn't bear it.

Wang Gui said: "Brother, you can't be too horny. To win Fengzhou, for Da Song, there will be a lot of benefits and no harm. This does not affect the fact that you are still a Song official.

Although the Yang family couldn't be a pure general like before.But the Yang family can become a foreign soldier like the Zhe family. "

Wang Gui woke up Lao Yang with one word.

Lao Yang stood up slowly, nodded solemnly, and said: "You are right. This old man is really on the edge of a dead end. No matter whether His Majesty will hold you accountable or not, let's take Fengzhou first. Just hold Fengzhou in your hand. The old man can be considered worthy of the people of the world.

If His Majesty really wants to be held accountable, I can hand over Daizhou and Fengzhou to other people.

As long as these two places are in my hands, Da Song.

The old man is worthy of the people of the world and His Majesty. "

Wang Gui twitched the corner of his mouth, he felt that his old brother was thinking a little bit better.

Once Fengzhou was captured, Lao Yang would have no choice but to hand it over.

After all, Fengzhou was brought down by Yang Qi, and only Yang Qi can really decide whether Fengzhou will stay or not.

Moreover, Yang Qi is full-fledged now, and he seems to be holding [-] soldiers and horses in his hands. In addition, Yang Qi seems to have gotten involved with the Zhe family.

With the support of the Zhe family, Yang Qi didn't need to use the group of Datong troops with weak combat effectiveness in Lao Yang's hands to control the entire Fengzhou.

At that time, Fengzhou will be controlled by Yang Qi from top to bottom.

Only Yang Qi can decide whether to stay in Fengzhou.

Just like the current Daizhou government affairs.

Wang Gui was a bystander and could see clearly, but he didn't explain the matter clearly.

Vaguely, Wang Gui guessed that Yang Qi should be laying out a big picture.

Obviously, this overall situation is extremely beneficial to the Yang family.

The Wang family is a family that is as prosperous as the Yang family.

Naturally, they also yearn for the Yang family to develop on a better side.

Now, Wang Gui can't help Yang Qi, he can only try his best to persuade the stubborn old Yang not to make trouble for Yang Qi.

Under Wang Gui's persuasion, Lao Yang figured out the "joint" in it, and the confusion in his heart was not so deep.

Immediately, he straightened his face and said loudly: "Send people to closely monitor the movements of Fengzhou. Once a fighter is found, the old man will lead the Datong army into Fengzhou and give them a head-on blow."

Wang Gui accepted the order decisively and withdrew.

If the news about Lao Yang's tent today gets out, many people will probably suspect why such a powerful figure like Lao Yang can't see through it as well as the deputy general Wang Gui?

In fact, this matter is easy to explain.

Lao Yang is an authority figure, while Wang Gui is a bystander.

The so-called authorities are obsessed, and bystanders are clear.

The most important joint in this matter is Yang Qi.

Lao Yang has always looked at Yang Qi from the perspective of the patriarch of a feudal family.

In his eyes, Yang Qi is Monkey Sun, and he is Tathagata Buddha.

No matter how powerful Yang Qi is, he still cannot escape from his grasp.

Of course, it wasn't Lao Yang who had this idea alone.

In almost feudal families, most of the patriarchs have this mentality.

Wang Gui is different. Although Wang Gui is Lao Yang's lieutenant general and has a different relationship with the Yang family, his surname is still not Yang.

Therefore, Wang Gui will understand Yang Qi from different angles.

From the initial contact to the present.

Yang Qi gave Wang Gui the feeling that it changed every day, and every time he met, Yang Qi would be more powerful than before.

Even, Wang Gui thought.

Yang Qi, a monkey who has become a fighting Buddha, may not be able to suppress Lao Yang, a Tathagata Buddha.

Moreover, in Lao Yang's hands, there is only one Datong army that has not yet formed.

And Yang Qi not only has a revival army that has been tempered, but even has a natural ally of the Zhe family.

Therefore, the future Yang Qi is destined not to be able to be suppressed by Lao Yang.

In this matter, therefore, no personal intelligence is involved.

It's just because the location is different and the scenery seen is different.

Since Lao Yang has decided to participate in the battle in Fengzhou at any time, he has no intention of backing down.

In order to allow the Datong Army to continue to be stationed outside.

Lao Yang wrote a letter with his own hand, and sent someone to deliver it to Kou Zhun in the government office of Daizhou.

After Kou Zhun got the letter, he immediately wanted to reply and refuse.

But he was stopped by Chen Jiangling.

"My lord, Mr. Yang's letter asking us to transfer grain to him on behalf of the state government seems to be a little over the authority. But this matter cannot be viewed solely from the political aspects. Mr. Yang has never sent us such a letter. , let us cooperate with him in what to do.

Now that the letter comes, it is very likely that the matter is urgent. "

Kou Zhun took the letter, frowned and said: "No matter how urgent it is, we can't overstep our authority and get food from our government office. The food and salaries of the Datong Army, whether it is distributed by the imperial court or subsidized by the magistrate, we will give them exactly the same amount." him.

Now he comes with a letter, asking for money and food.If things go on like this, if he wants it every day, wouldn't we have to give it every day?
Besides, in terms of power, he has no power or position now, so why should we cooperate with him. "

Chen Jiangling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, you are looking at this matter a little one-sidedly. Since Mr. Yang sent someone to send a letter instead of an official document, it shows that this is not an official matter, but is a private matter.

Even if the adults are unwilling to agree, there is no need to refuse.Since it is a family matter, my lord might as well send this letter to the Yang Mansion and let the people of the Yang Mansion decide for themselves. "

Kou Zhun thought about it carefully, and felt that what Chen Jiangling said was reasonable, so he sent someone to deliver the letter to the Yang Mansion.

Inside the Yang Mansion.

Since arriving in Daizhou, She Saihua has been particularly relaxed.There is no such fear in Bianjing City anymore.

The relaxed She Saihua became obsessed with Taoism while raising her baby.

Coupled with the bewitching of the old Taoist Fa Hai, She Saihua soon fell into the study of Taoism.

When Kou Zhun sent someone to hand the letter to She Saihua.

She Saihua just opened it and looked at it, and then sent it directly to Cao Lin.

She Saihua didn't bother about Lao Yang asking for food and grass.

She Saihua felt that Lao Yang was messing around.

Cao Lin, who has been pregnant for five months, is already pregnant.

The belly is round and round like holding a ball.

When Lao Yang's letter was delivered to Cao Lin, Cao Lin was receiving Peng Pai with her big belly.

At the same time, there is also the first awakening who has already awakened.

After waking up for the first time, she saw herself in the Yang Mansion, and she knew that Aunt Xiang was probably in danger.

She was conflicted.

There is sadness, but also joy.

Sadly, Aunt Xiang, the elder who took care of her in every possible way, passed away.

Speaking of which, even though Aunt Xiang has all sorts of sins, she is very kind to Chu Xing and takes care of Chu Xing meticulously.

After awakening, under the care of Aunt Xiang, she also felt the warmth of her long-lost relatives.

When such an elder passed away, she was naturally sad.

Of course, the secret joy in the bottom of my heart.

Mainly because of Yang Qi.

Since Aunt Xiang had an accident, it must prove that Yang Qi is fine.

Chuxing was full of grief and joy, but Cao Lin was furious.

Cao Lin has always known the existence of Chuxing, and also knew that Chuxing is a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people.

But Cao Lin is very confident in herself.

At the beginning, she stood out in one fell swoop in the battle among the girls and monopolized Yang Qi.

This is what she is most proud of.

But now Yang Qi has someone send Chu Xing back to the mansion, which undoubtedly dealt her a head-on blow.

The most important thing is that Yang Qi sent him back without a word of explanation?

what is this?
You took a concubine, and it was so beautiful and inhumane, and you sent it back to me, the head of the house, to hold your hand, or do you want to protest?

The most exasperating thing was that she was still pregnant.

The most exasperating thing is that Cao Lin also knows that Yang Qi is still secretly raising Huyan Chijin's rambunctious hoof outside.

When I co-authored it, I, Cao Lin, stood out, but I only occupied the status of a big woman.

For the rest, you will send them to the mansion one by one in the future?

Thinking of this, Cao Lin became angry.

But when you come back, come back.

Where is the tutor of the big feudal family?

Cao Lin had to show the bearing of a big wife, otherwise she could easily be regarded as a jealous wife and poke her back.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Cao Lin put on a straight face and said to Chu Xing: "Since Mr. Lang let you enter the mansion, you can live in the mansion from now on. I will ask the servant girl to vacate the downstairs wing, you Live in."

Chu Xing, who had a complicated mind, saluted Cao Lin and said softly, "Thank you, sister."

Hearing this title, Cao Lin wanted to curse.

I'm just being polite, you really called my sister.

Are you really calling yourself a concubine?

In fact, Cao Lin misunderstood Chu Xing, and now Chu Xing is in a mess.

The death of the elders happened to be the hand of the lover.

She didn't even think about how to face Yang Qi, how could she possibly intrigue with Cao Lin?
She was just polite subconsciously.

Cao Lin didn't know Chu Xing's thoughts, she waved her hands irritably, "Go down first."

Waking up at the beginning, he bowed his body and exited the room.

Cao Lin was in the room and complained fiercely to Yang Qi for a long time before opening Lao Yang's letter.

Regarding Yang Qi's actions in the Northwest, and the matter of Lao Yang leading his troops to attack.

Cao Lin understood more or less when she saw Lao Yang's letter asking for food and grass.

Cao Lin guessed that Lao Yang was going to do something.

And it is very likely that it is the kind that adds chaos.

Cao Lin immediately became vicious, and she thought it would be good to add trouble to Yang Qi, a heartless person.

Of course, adding chaos is adding chaos.

She still has her own thoughts deep in her heart.

In her opinion, Lao Yang stationed troops on the border of Fengzhou and Daizhou, although there were elements of adding to the chaos.

However, it is also a guarantee.

With Lao Yang on the side to protect him, if Yang Qi is in any danger, Lao Yang can also attack decisively to save Yang Qi.

Immediately, Cao Lin puffed out her stomach and summoned a steward from the study downstairs.

After calculating the consumption of the Datong Army in detail, with a wave of her hand, she directly allocated food and grass to the Datong Army.

Moreover, these food and grass are purely sponsored by Cao Lin.

I didn't use what was in the treasury, nor did I use what was at home.

All of them were gathered by Cao Lin from the wine workshops in the city.

Now the food stockpiled in the liquor workshops in the city is enough to feed [-] Datong troops for a year.

From this we can see how big the wine workshop is under Cao Lin's operation.

this afternoon.

The men of the Zamahe tribe escorted the food on the road.

In the government office, Kou Zhun and Chen Jiangling, who got the news, were obviously a little dazed.

Chen Jiangling was shocked and said: "People in the Yang family, do they all have the ability to turn stone into gold? You and I are here waiting for someone to come to ask for help. But I didn't expect that a family-owned winery could produce so much food. "
