I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

Chapter 537: Four fierce, four unique and thirteen heroes, occupying a small half
Yang Lin is indeed not a problem.

It's not that Yang Lin's martial arts are worth fearing, after all, he is the eighth of the Thirteen Heroes, and his martial arts are very reliable. Qin Shubao, who is in his thirties and in his prime, couldn't survive a single round in the hands of Yang Lin.

If Yang Lin had not valued talent, Qin Qiong would have been able to hit the Water and Fire Prison Dragon Stick with his mace, and Yang Lin would not have needed to counterattack. The recoil force of the defense alone would have been enough to knock Qin Qiong's two maces out of his hands.

Yang Gui has confidence in Yang Lin's character. This old man is a man who hates evil and has a fiery temper, which is exactly the same as Wen Zhong in "Investiture of the Gods". According to the theory, Wen Zhong should be reincarnated as Yang Lin.

Unfortunately, Wen Zhong died loyally for the Shang Dynasty, which was already worthy of the entire Shang family tree. This time he was reincarnated as a treacherous minister. Although it was destined by God, he could also let himself go.

Yang Lin is not the reincarnation of anyone, he is himself, a veteran minister who hates evil and serves three dynasties, the emperor's uncle. When he learned about Yang Guang's stupid actions that made the people of the world live in misery, he naturally felt disgusted with him.

In the original novel, if Yang Lin's surname was not Yang, he might have rebelled long ago, and his end could be said to be quite miserable. But this world is different, Yang Jian is still alive, and whenever Yang Jian shows up at the right time, he can take Yang Lin with him.

So, what is more important is Yujuro.

Yu Juluo joined the Imperial Army at the age of 20, and was later promoted to Grand Commander, following the path that He Ruoxixiang is taking now. He was a close comrade-in-arms with Yang Guang, and together with Yang Guang, he destroyed the Chen Dynasty.

In this world's great contention between the Sui and Tang dynasties, he was also Yuwen Chengdu's master, with extraordinary martial arts skills. In "The Rise of Tang Dynasty", he was even able to kill Li Yuanba with his sophisticated skills.

As a saint and one of the leaders of the world's situation, Yang Gui understood that this world was a combination of various "Sui and Tang" dynasties, and he chose the strongest character settings from each version.

Li Yuanba is not the weak Li Yuanba in "The Rise of Tang Dynasty". After all, Yang Gui saw the reincarnation of the Golden-Winged Dapeng with his own eyes. He is indeed the fantasy version of Li Yuanba who wields an 800-jin sledgehammer and can fight against millions of troops and kill hundreds of thousands of them. However, Yu Juluo is not a good guy either.

"Four fierce men, four unique men, and thirteen heroes" have proven that not being among the thirteen heroes does not mean that one is not strong enough. Jiang Song was able to separate Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin with one shot, and if Yu Juluo was lucky, he could kill Li Yuanba.

Yang Gui did not intend to intervene during Yang Jian's reconquest of the world, at least not to intervene excessively, so Yu Juluo became very important.

"How can Old Yu be so capable?" Yang Jian was stunned. After all, Yu Juluo had always been with Yang Guang in the army, and his son would only report the credit to himself. The only thing Yang Jian knew was that this old guy had an extraordinary appearance, double pupils in his eyes, and looked like an emperor.

But Yang Gui told him that those with double pupils had never won the final victory and became the ruler of the world. Yang Jian thought about it and realized that double pupils did not mean eagle-like or wolf-like. It was fine for Xiang Yu to look like him, but Sima Yi would scare the emperor. So he did not care.

I didn't expect to get such explosive news today.

"Let's go, let's go find someone first." After Yang Jian said this, he hurriedly took people to run again.

The face of Yang Jian, the retired emperor and the legitimate founder of the country, was really important. No matter whether it was "Erxianzhuang, Bali, Tiantang County" or "his horses trampled on both sides of the Yellow River, his mace hit three states and six prefectures, he was as filial to his mother as Zhuan Zhu, his friends as Mengchang, and his power shook half of Shandong", his reputation in the world was ultimately no match for that of the retired emperor.

In just a few years, he had gathered a large number of talented and brave generals around him and pledged their allegiance to him. In fact, talented and brave generals were secondary. The important thing was that, relying on his status as the retired emperor, Yang Jian was able to bring out a large part of the established and battle-hardened army, as well as craftsmen who forged equipment.

Compared with the rebel kings in the folks, Yang Jian naturally possessed an army with excellent military qualities, as well as high-quality weapons, armor, engineering equipment, and talents in casting for fortifications.

No kidding, war is all about logistics. Although Hou Tu did not take direct action this time and use the magic of the earth to ripen the strange new types of grains, given that corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other varieties had already been popularized during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the pressure on food for the various rebel kings was actually the smallest.

Since everyone had equal conditions in terms of food, Yang Jian's high-quality forging and smelting technology was invaluable. Yang Gui asked Hua Yan to improve their siege equipment, although the invention of gunpowder in this era was useless, and the first generation of gunpowder was not as powerful as the Spider King firecrackers of later generations.

If Yang Gui directly deduced the subsequent development of gunpowder, or even to the level of explosives, it would be considered cheating. Although he, a saint, did not directly take action, the impact was greater than that of taking action directly, and it would definitely affect the balance of heaven.

However, it was not a violation to teach Huayan and let Huayan promote and teach some mechanical improvements in the army. The labor-saving efficiency of the machinery improved by Huayan was more than half higher than before, and it could show a significant overwhelming advantage in the process of siege.

In addition, Huayan developed the technology of using coke to smelt iron. It is still a bit mysterious to use a blast furnace now, but the fuel improvement that appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty is enough to bring the quality of ironware to a higher level.

If this were in the real history, these few changes alone would be enough to ensure that Yang Jian's army swept across the world and was invincible. Unfortunately, this was the Three Realms of Gods and Demons, and the Four Continents. Even if no power above the immortals was allowed to appear in the main settlements of humans during this period, it still had a touch of fantasy.

The advancement of iron smelting technology, the increase in the efficiency of engineering equipment launch, and the increase in grain production are not enough.

Yang Jian still needed brave generals and military forces.

Huayan was the military advisor, and even Gao Jiong, the former prime minister of Yang Tang, admired him very much. Of course, it would be useless if he didn't admire him, because Huayan appeared in the sky with Yang Gui and his wife, and who would dare to mess with him?

Having a god as a military advisor is a benefit that Yang Jian's team could not even ask for. Besides, Gao Jiong was not the prime minister at the beginning. He was also a fierce general who followed the army to the battlefield at the beginning. Even most of Yang Guang's achievements were actually won by him. This old guy's title was the Grand Marshal at the beginning. "Alas, but it's not easy to be the Grand Marshal." Gao Jiong and a few old brothers sighed in the general's tent. After those fantasy heroes appeared, the deployment of troops and military strategies that normal people like them had studied for a lifetime seemed to have become child's play. Even the progress of iron smelting technology could not stop them with bare hands.

Each of these fierce men has the strength to fight at least one against a thousand, and at least has the ability to kill their way through an army of tens of thousands on horseback and retreat calmly.

"The representatives are your two sons!" Gao Jiong pointed at Wu Jianzhang and shouted angrily. There was nothing he could do. The fifth of the Thirteen Heroes was Wu Jianzhang's biological son Wu Yunzhao, and the sixth was Wu Jianzhang's nephew Wu Tianxi.

Because Wu Tianxi had been raised in Wu Jianzhang's house since he was a child and was close to Wu Jianzhang, and Wu Tianxi's parents died early, Wu Jianzhang, as the head of the Wu family, made the decision and directly adopted Wu Tianxi. Wu Tianxi then became Wu Jianzhang's son, and from Wu Yunzhao's cousin he became Wu Yunzhao's biological brother.

"Hey, stop talking nonsense. If you're a beginner, just practice more. If you don't agree, just give birth to another son and see if your son can beat my two sons." Wu Jianzhang was very proud. As a father, he was of course very proud of his son's outstanding ability.

"I'm almost seventy and I still have to give birth to a kid!" Although Gao Jiong was born a great marshal, he later became a prime minister, and his sons all studied literature and became top civil servants.

Although Gao Jiong's sons were born into a family of soldiers and generals, they were all somewhat skilled in martial arts, but literati were just literati. How could they compare with fantasy warriors like Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi?
"You can't do it, then you can't do it. Look, why doesn't the old fish cry out?"

"Why shouldn't I shout? They are no match for me in a one-on-one fight. But when it comes to attacking an army formation, I'm far behind. These young people are really powerful. After all, we are old." Yu Juro sighed beside him.

That's right. As a brave general whom Yang Jian paid special attention to after being reminded by Yang Gui, he relied on the title of the emperor emeritus, the banner of the Yang Tang orthodoxy, the promise of Yang Jian as the founding emperor, and the friendship between the old brothers, and was able to win over Yu Juro, an old man who had lived in seclusion.

Yu Juluo is a skilled general. Although his short-term explosive power is not weak, he is old and weak after all. He definitely cannot do the same as those young generals, riding alone and wielding weapons to attack an army of tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, Yu Juluo's swordsmanship has reached perfection. Even Yu Wenchengdu, the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, was his disciple in his early years. Old Yu always patted his chest and said, "Don't look at Yu Wenchengdu's current appearance. If it's a one-on-one fight, I can let this guy use three moves and still defeat him."

The old brothers laughed at him, "You're still giving him three moves? Yuwen Chengdu's 420-jin phoenix-wing gilded halberd is coming down on you. Can you take it in one blow?"

In fact, Yu Juro had never fully fought with his grown-up apprentice. When Yuwen Chengdu was still in the growth stage, Yu Juro ignored his strength training and only gave him some pointers on the changes of his moves.

If it really came to a life-and-death fight, Yu Juluo, who was already old, really had no idea. Therefore, whenever this happened, Yu Yiji would blush and argue, saying things like "A fight is not a battle of brute force" and "Skill is the ultimate secret", which filled the old brothers with a happy atmosphere.

Fortunately, Yang Jian had the advantage of Yang Gui, who was a foresighted general, and he had gathered many brave generals under his command, so he didn't need Yu Juluo to fight desperately. Although Yu Juluo was unwilling to admit his old age, there were young people willing to do the dirty work for him, and he didn't like to abuse himself, so he didn't have to drag his old body to fight.

Today, Yang Jian has a strong army and a powerful lineup of generals, even more powerful than when he was emperor. He couldn't help but sigh that there are so many masters among the people, and the way to advancement is monopolized by the aristocratic families. Unless there is chaos in the world, these ordinary people may never be able to make a name for themselves in their entire lives.

This made Yang Jian more convinced that the existence of the imperial examination was indeed a good thing for the country and the people. He had even begun to imagine that when he returned to the throne in the future, in addition to the liberal arts, he would also establish a military imperial examination.

Currently, the veteran generals under Yang Jian who can be called "fierce generals" include the Grand Commander Yu Juro, the King of Changping Qiu Rui, the King of Kaoshan Yang Lin, and his younger brother the King of Wu Yang Fang Yang Yichen.

Just like what Yang Gui said back then, Yang Lin was not a problem at all. Just based on Yang Guang's stupid behavior in the past few years after he ascended the throne, he pushed Yang Lin to Yang Jian's side. When Yang Lin came, his younger brother Yang Yichen naturally came as well. However, this Yang was a later surname. He was a Xianbei, and his original surname was Yuchi. Later, he was taken in as a brother by Yang Lin and changed his surname to the Han surname Yang.

Yang Jian: "Ah? I'm not here. This little bastard slapped himself twice right at the start and pushed all the capable ministers and generals to his father. Oh, did I misunderstand Guang? He is still a filial child!"

The rest of the old men, such as Wu Jianzhang, He Ruobi, and others, might have had decent kung fu skills when they were young, but as they aged and became weaker, they were no longer considered fierce generals. Not to mention being fierce generals, they would probably have difficulty even fighting against generals in battle.

Just like the old Qin Qiong, who was out of breath after taking two steps. People's physical fitness cannot be generalized. In the original novel, Qiu Rui can still maintain the same fighting power as the young Qin Qiong, while Wu Jianzhang, He Ruobi and others are only slightly better than the old Qin Qiong.

Now the greatest significance of the existence of these old men is to rely on their accumulated reputation and good looks to attract all kinds of soldiers to join them. After all, Yang Jian, the boss, can't run around to do this himself, right?
Unexpectedly, Ding Yanping, who seemed to have been almost certain of success, suddenly got into a state of panic and listened to the lies of his adopted son and godson. He formed an alliance with Luo Yi, the King of Beiping, and claimed to be "loyal to the Tang Dynasty, stay away from disputes, and guard the border." He ran to the north to hang out with the Luo family and did not take part in the fight between the father and son of the Yang family, which caused this group of old brothers to curse him for a while.

The young and fierce generals included Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Liang Shitai, and Luo Shixin. Yang Jian's purpose of "rebellion" was to completely smash the rule of the aristocratic families. Therefore, in the early stage of the uprising, people of common origin were recruited, not to mention the aristocratic families, and even officials such as Xin Wenli, Shang Shitu, and Wei Wentong were not recruited.

Xiong Kuohai was a Taihang bandit. Huayan sent Wu Yunzhao to take him away. The two had a fight, but they felt a sense of mutual respect and became brothers. Then Xiong Kuohai was abducted back. Liang Shitai sent Wu Tianxi to Guachui Village, defeated the bandit and brought him back.

As for Luo Shixin, Huayan personally visited Wang Junke, but Wang Junke was the leader of the northern green forest. If he joined Yang Jian, it would be equivalent to becoming a lackey of the court, so he was unwilling to be recruited.

But Huayan, the second-in-command of Yang Jian's camp, came in person, which showed him great respect. Then the emperor came in person. By then, whether Wang Junke voted for Yang Jian or not, he would be regarded as having voted for Yang Jian by the people.

Therefore, in order to return the favor and to avoid trouble, Wang Junke recommended Luo Shixin, whom he had adopted since childhood, to Huayan, and asked him to follow Huayan to join Yang Jian.
