Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 191 Yichen
Yang Yichen, whose real surname was Weichi, was the son of Weichi Chong, the general of Yitong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Chong were of the same clan, but when Yuchi Jiong rebelled, Yuchi Chong put himself in prison and sent people to Beijing to plead guilty. After Yang Jian replaced Zhou Jian in the Sui Dynasty, he named Yuchi Chong the Duke of Qinxing County.

Yuchi Yichen has been in the palace since he was very young, and Yang Jian has always taken care of him. After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he specially gave him the surname Yang. He is now nearly thirty and serves as the governor of Shaanxi Province.

A righteous minister has a righteous minister, the last loyal and famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and can be called the white jade pillar holding up the sky at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Hearing that it was Yang Yichen, Yang Guang thought of what Yang Jian said about preparing a gift for him in Shaanzhou, and immediately contacted him and rode out to greet him: "I first arrived in Shaanzhou. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to visit the governor. Please forgive me. "

A big green horse slowly walked out from the cavalry, holding a long-handled sword with a ghost head engraved on the blade. The cold light shone in the sun, giving it a bloody feel.

On the back of the green horse, the general looked heroic. Yang Yichen came in military armor. He looked like he was going out to fight instead of welcoming him. He looked at Yang Guang dressed as an ordinary soldier. He did not look down upon him, but nodded with satisfaction.

"It's a good thing for Your Highness, Prince Jin, to be cautious."

"I wonder how the governor knew my marching route? And why are you here today?"

Yang Guang asked straightforwardly, as if two armies were at war.

Yang Yichen, who was riding a horse and wearing armor, swung his sword in the wind and pointed it to the north. Then he turned over and dismounted, and inserted the handle of the knife into the ground with a strong hand. The blade trembled slightly due to the huge force.

Yang Yichen saluted Yang Guang who was riding a horse: "Welcome minister Yang Yichen is here to meet His Highness the King of Jin. This time I have been ordered by His Majesty to come to greet His Highness, and then follow His Highness north to Shuozhou to attack the Turks!"

The wind blew past his ears, and Yang Guang almost couldn't believe his ears. This gift from Yang Jian was too big. He was giving Yang Yichen directly to him. This was the future member that Yang Jian, the younger generation, had trained himself. Minister, the youngest governor of a state besides Yang Xiu.

Yang Guang smiled, dismounted and greeted Yang Yichen, helped Yang Yichen up and said, "I never expected that my father would actually order the governor to go north with me."

Yang Yichen said respectfully: "From today on, Yang Yichen will be the vanguard general of His Highness the King of Jin's Northern Expedition. He will obey His Highness the King of Jin's orders in everything. On this trip, he will accompany the army with a hundred personal guards to take orders from His Highness."

The cavalry brought by Yang Yichen dismounted one after another and shouted in unison: "Listen to His Majesty the King of Jin's orders."

"Everyone is exempt from courtesy, everyone is exempted from courtesy. Today, I have the help of the general and everyone, and I am even more powerful, hahaha."

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Even Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh at such things.

In the team behind him, Qin Qiong whispered: "General Yang Yichen's Ghost Head Sword is so powerful."

Lai Hu'er said nonchalantly: "Our black iron heavy spear is not inferior to it. Brother, your pair of powerful dragon maces are even more powerful."

"Maybe it's General Yang Yichen himself who is so powerful."

"My might is not inferior to that of General Yang Yichen."

"Your belly needs to be reduced first."

"What do you know? This is called a big granary. If there is not enough food one day, I will definitely live two days longer than you guys."

After gathering Yang Yichen's army, according to Yang Yichen's command, the group found the gentlest ferry and began to cross the river.

Yang Yichen mobilized Shaanzhou's deployment and moved the army across the river to the north as quickly as possible.

Along the way, Yang Guang, Yang Yichen and others analyzed the current situation in Shuozhou and how to deal with it when they had time.

……

As the days passed, the weather became colder and colder, and the soldiers began to put on more clothes. The marching speed in ancient times was too slow, especially when transporting grain and grass, so it took a full month and a half to arrive at Shuo. within the state.

"Your Highness, Yanmen Pass is fifty miles ahead. The scouts have been asked to go ahead and report the news."

"Okay, we are already adjacent to the border. The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. Let the soldiers rest where they are."

Yang Guang ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize, and also sent people to nearby high points for observation and detection.

After a while, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, there is thick smoke coming out of the foot of the northwest mountain. The general observed that there was a fire in a village, and the fire was very strong."

Yang Guang and others looked in the direction of his finger, and when they climbed up, thick smoke indeed appeared. From a distance, it seemed that there were horses running away.

This made Yang Guang a little confused. Looking at the small village of that size, it didn't look like it could support those six or seven fast horses. He intuitively told him that something was wrong.

Yang Guang immediately said: "Qin Qiong, come to protect your son. Yang Yichen, get on your horse and lead fifty cavalry and we will go over and have a look."

Yang Yichen said worriedly: "Your Highness, we are approaching the border at this time, so we have to be careful."

"There is something strange about the fire in that village. I have to see how the people on the border live."

Yang Yichen immediately ordered to the rear troops: "The vanguard army divided into two groups and went to the surrounding mountains to surround the village."

驾

The cavalry quickly attacked, but the mountain roads were rugged, and horses walked slowly on such roads. But fortunately, the mountain roads seemed to have their own way for horses to carry goods, so they were still passable.

When approaching the mountain village, Yang Guang and others discovered that the village contained only forty households and more than a hundred people. The fire was not caused by natural causes, but by someone who set the fire on horseback and robbed the village on horseback.

The group of people on horseback were the people I saw on the distant hill before. They were burning, killing and looting in the village with machetes.

Yang Guang frowned slightly and shouted: "Qin Qiong, come to protect the children. You two will each lead about 20 people to attack. Take down all the gangsters holding machetes and riding horses, leaving a few alive." "The last general takes orders."

The two teams fired their bows from left to right and rushed towards the village.

The gangsters who were burning, killing and looting in the village were too immersed in their surroundings and did not know that Yang Guang and others were coming. At this time, they realized that it was too late.

There was just such a flat place at the foot of the mountain. Lai Huer rushed into the village and brandished the heavy black iron gun and stabbed the gangster who was holding a big knife to kill. With one shot, he directly pierced the gangster's body and lifted him up with huge strength. The momentum of the charge stabbed a bandit behind him, causing a series of attacks.

However, the horse could not support such a heavy weight at first, and almost fell down when he came to protect the child.

"What a useless thing." Lai Hu'er cursed and threw the two people on the spears away. He never thought of keeping them alive from the beginning.

When the gangsters saw the army coming, they immediately wanted to flee, but it was too late. Qin Qiong chased one of the gangsters, and the sword collided with Kang Long Mace, causing the opponent to drop his sword and flee quickly.

However, there were mountains and forests around, and it was not easy for the horse to walk on the mountain road. Qin Qiong put away his mace, took out a matchlock gun, dismounted from his horse, and pointed it at the gangster who was slowly climbing up.

With a bang, the gun hit the opponent's thigh. The gangster fell off his horse in pain and then rolled down. Qin Qiong handed it over to others to chase the other person.

Several gangsters were smarter and dismounted and ran into Shang. Qin Qiong didn't want to let anyone go and chased after them.

As a young man, he didn't know how to chase after a poor enemy.

Chasing into the forest, Qin Qiong was smart and faster than the opponent, but the four of them looked at each other, and a young boy chased the four of us. What a joke, he immediately stopped and rushed towards Qin Qiong anyway.

In the forest, Qin Qiong immediately put on a posture, holding the Dragon Mace in both hands without any fear.

咻

Just as the four people rushed over, a stone flew out of the forest and hit one of them directly on the temple. The specially polished stone was nailed to the man's head. For a moment, blood flowed out and he fell to the ground.

The remaining three people went in the direction where the stone flew. There was a young man standing on the tree in that direction, holding a slingshot, with messy hair and tattered clothes.

When the young man saw that he was discovered, he jumped down from the tree and said, "The damn monk soldiers are robbing homes and houses everywhere. Young master, I will kill you one by one when I see you."

The three of them looked at each other, two rushed towards Qin Qiong, and one rushed towards the young man.

Qin Qiong didn't know the background of this young man who suddenly appeared, but it was good to share the pressure for him, so a gangster started fighting.

The gangster's moves were chaotic and he just slashed wildly. Qin Qiong originally regarded the two as opponents. After two moves, he understood the opponent's details. Kanglong's mace struck hard and hard, knocking the weapons of the two away, and one of them struck again. , the leg bones were cracked, and he fell to the ground unable to escape.

He looked worriedly at the gangster in the direction of the other boy, only to see that the gangster stepped on the trap four or five steps in front of the boy, and the steel clamp directly broke his leg.

The young man picked up the slingshot at close range and used his special stone nail to hit the door directly. Just one blow killed him.

The young man didn't stop after killing this man. He immediately loaded the rocks and shot them towards the two people who were knocked down by Qin Qiong.

This

Qin Qiong blocked the young man's stone with his dragon mace.

The young man looked angry: "I just saw you chasing me, and I thought you were a good guy. I didn't expect you to be with the monk soldiers."

"Don't get me wrong, knight, I spared their lives because my Highness wanted to remain alive to inquire about matters."

"Your Highness?"

The young man looked confused, but the next moment he turned to leave.

"The knight stays."

"I've left you alone, what else can I do?"

"I think the knight's behavior must have been lying in wait in the mountains for a long time. He fought against the gangsters alone. The knight is so courageous. I, Qin Qiong, dare to ask the knight's name."

The young man hesitated for a while and said: "Zhou Wu, the Zhou of the East and West Zhou, the Wu who is both civil and military."

"Knight, please come with me to meet His Highness. Your Highness will definitely like to make friends with knights like you."

"Your Highness, what Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness, the current King of Jin."

……

Yang Guang, who rushed to the village, saw the captured gangsters and looked confused. There were twelve gangsters in total, seven of whom were dead. There were only three people present now. The other two, Qin Qiong and Zhou Wu, were on their way back.

Yang Guang came closer and took a closer look: "Why are these people dressed like monks?"

A group of people were not dressed like bandits. They all had short hair. It looked like they had shaved off their bald heads in time and had grown out. They were also dressed like monks.

What's the point of using a machete to rob, burn, kill, and loot the villagers who chant the Buddha's name?
