Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

In the spacious tea room, Yang Zhengshan and Luo Shang sat opposite each other.

A group of old friends chatted casually while drinking tea.

Looking at their gray-haired appearance, Yang Zhengshan felt a little depressed.

Damn, I am also an old man.

"Sir, that old guy Zhang Yuanwu will be able to come to Xingyue Island next month!" Han Cheng said.

Yang Zhengshan tasted the tea carefully. This tea was slightly different from the previous Donglingchun. The tea tree was found by him from the depths of Jiujiang Mountains. It was originally a top-grade tea tree. After being transplanted to Lingquan space, the taste of the tea was even better.

Of course, this does not mean that this tea is better than Donglingchun. Today's Donglingchun is no longer the previous Donglingchun. It is also a new variety that he has cultivated after many selections and many times.

The two kinds of tea have their own merits. Donglingchun is more refreshing, while this new tea is more fragrant. After entering the mouth, the tea fragrance is rich and the sweetness is long, so Yang Zhengshan named it Linglu.

Well, this name has nothing to do with the characteristics of the new tea. It is just a random name given by Yang Zhengshan.

"Has he arranged everything?"

"Yes, it has been arranged. The court has appointed Wu Mingyang as the commander!" Han Cheng said.

Wu Mingyang is the son of Wu An, that is, the grandson of Wu Chongzhe. He is also in his twenties this year.

Yang Zhengshan nodded indifferently, "Just arrange it."

The fleet of Tenglongwei is very profitable, but Yang Zhengshan doesn't care about it at all. He cares about these old friends who have been with him through life and death.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yuanwu is definitely a big bargain to have a share in Tenglongwei.

Zhang Yuanwu has never led under Yang Zhengshan. He was originally a garrison under Wang Bin. At that time, Yang Zhengshan was a garrison in Anyuan City and Zhang Yuanwu was a garrison in Qihe City.

After the destruction of the Hu tribe in Donghai, everyone was promoted together. Zhang Yuanwu was promoted to the guerrilla of the East Road Aid Battalion in Chongshan Town.

When Ji Feiyu rebelled, Zhang Chengzhi and Zhang Yuanwu were rewarded for capturing Lieutenant General Liu Zeqing. Zhang Chengzhi was promoted to Lieutenant General, but it was difficult to arrange for Zhang Yuanwu, so Yang Zhengshan arranged him to Tenglong Guard.

In this way, Zhang Yuanwu integrated into Tenglong Guard and became a member of Tenglong Guard.

At that time, it seemed that Zhang Chengzhi had taken advantage, but now it seems that Zhang Yuanwu has taken a big advantage.

Now Zhang Chengzhi has returned to his hometown to retire. Although his children and grandchildren still work in Chongshan Town, they are far less powerful and wealthy than Zhang Yuanwu's children and grandchildren.

"How is the situation of Darong?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Alas, since the death of King Dai in battle, Darong has become more and more chaotic!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned, "King Dai died in battle? Chen Zhaoxuan?"

"My lord doesn't know yet!" Xie Yuan asked in astonishment.

Yang Zhengshan stood up suddenly, "When did it happen?"

He didn't know that Chen Zhaoxuan died in the battle. He only stayed in Zhaowu Port in Dayong for one day before returning. He just changed ships. After returning, Yang Mingcheng didn't tell him about it.

"About half a year ago!" Xie Yuan said.

Yang Zhengshan looked a little unhappy.

Chen Zhaoxuan was his apprentice. Compared with Chen Zhaoting, he liked Chen Zhaoxuan very much.

"Who killed him?"

His voice became cold.

Xie Yuan and the other four also became nervous, "The bandit Daliang King of Longnan!"

Yang Zhengshan took a deep breath and said to them, "Forget it, I won't chat with you today. Let's chat another day!"

"Then I'll take my leave first!" The four bowed and left.

Yang Zhengshan patiently sent them away, and when they left, he immediately shouted, "Come here!"

Li Chang immediately ran over, "What do you want, sir?"

Yang Zhengshan looked at him, a little speechless, "Why are you still standing guard here?"

Li Chang smiled innocently, "I'm used to it. I always feel uncomfortable when I'm not with you!"

"..."

This guy is a congenital warrior, but he is still standing guard outside the door.

Yang Zhengshan walked out of the room and took a look. Well, not only him, but also Wang Lei and others were there, just like before.

Twenty followers, now eighteen are congenital warriors, and the remaining two have not yet broken through.

Now they are still thinking about being his followers.

Letting congenital warriors be his followers, this treatment has never been experienced even by the old emperor.

Five followers stood outside the door, which obviously had been arranged.

"It's up to you, go and help me call Mingcheng and the other three brothers!" Yang Zhengshan didn't want to say more to them, and directly ordered.

"Yes!"

The five people answered in unison, and then three of them ran out to call for help.

Yang Zhengshan returned to the teahouse, frowned and fell into silence.

He was still very sad that Chen Zhaoxuan died.

This can be regarded as a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person.

But he was not so hypocritical as to cry. He was sad and angry, but more of it was heartache.

Thinking about the boy who chased him, he sighed heavily.

He had seen life and death, and was used to the death of some old acquaintances, but he still felt heartache for Chen Zhaoxuan's death.

A moment later, the three brothers Yang Mingcheng came to the teahouse one after another.

"Dad, do you have something to ask me?" Yang Mingcheng saw that Yang Zhengshan's face was a little ugly, and asked carefully.

"How did Chen Zhaoxuan die?"

Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao looked at each other.

"He was besieged and killed by bandits in Daizhou City!"

"King of Daliang? Who is this person?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"It is said that he is the leader of a group of bandits. Now he has occupied Hanzhong Prefecture and has more than 100,000 soldiers and generals under his command!" Yang Mingcheng said.

Yang Mingzhi continued: "The King of Daliang is the largest group of bandits in Longyuan area. Currently, there are more than a dozen bandits in the three provinces of Longyuan, with 20,000 or 30,000 people. The strongest one is the King of Daliang. The bandits under his command reach the most. He had 300,000, but after he occupied Hanzhong Prefecture, he reorganized the bandits under his command and retained only 100,000 elite soldiers and generals!”

Yang Zhengshan frowned in his eyebrows, "Darong is so chaotic now?"

Yang Minghao said: "It's not just a riot. There are bandits in the three provinces of Longyuan, and there is also an anti-king in Yungui Province. It is said that he was the son of King Qing back then. The land of Bashu was occupied by several rebels. "

"Not long ago, news came from the Yang family business that many bandits in Longyuan have fled to the mountains and rivers! Now even the imperial guards have been dispatched."

After occupying Hanzhong Prefecture, King Daliang became stable, but the bandits in the three provinces of Longyuan did not become less stable because of his stability, but instead became more.

The reason is the encirclement and suppression of Longbei Town and Suzhou Town. The army of the two towns surrounded and suppressed many bandits, but they just wiped out a bandit, and more bandits emerged.

Now their situation is like beating a gopher. They pressed down a bandit and another bandit appeared.

The more bandits were suppressing more and more, and with their encirclement, many bandits fled to Shanhe Province, making the originally stable Shanhe Province a mess.

The same goes for the saying, if the refugees are not settled down, the bandits will not be able to be wiped out, unless they can kill all the people in the three provinces of Longyuan.

"No one encircled the King of Daliang?" Yang Zhengshan didn't care about the bandits, nor did he want to interfere in the internal problems of Darong, but Chen Zhaoxuan's death made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to avenge Chen Zhaoxuan.

"It shouldn't be there. Now, no one is paying attention to that Daliang King!" Yang Mingzhi said.

Then the three brothers said carefully about the situation in the three provinces of Longyuan.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Although they are far away on Xingyue Island, they can receive a lot of news from Darong.

They don’t know much about the situation in Bashu and Yungui, but they still know a lot about the situation in Longyuan.

After all, Zhou Lan is in Longyuan. After Chen Zhaoxuan died, they also paid extra attention to the situation in Longyuan.

After hearing this, Yang Zhengshan frowned even deeper.

Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to destroy the King of Daliang.

King Daliang occupied Hanzhong Prefecture, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without a hundred thousand troops, he would never have any idea of ​​breaking Hanzhong Prefecture.

But where did he mobilize an army of 100,000?

You can't be mobilized from Chongshan Town!

Not to mention whether Darong's court can tolerate his private transfer of troops, just say that the distance between Chongshan Town and Hanzhong Prefecture is four or five thousand miles away.

This four or five thousand miles is different from the time he attacked Yemi City. Although he had to bypass Menghe Mountain and wad several rivers from Chongshan Town to Yemi City, most of the roads he took were flat. Most of the roads can be ridden.

But what about from Chongshan Town to Hanzhong Prefecture?

You can enter western Liaoning from Chongshan Town West Road, then enter Longyuan from western Liaoning, and finally head south to Hanzhong Prefecture. It is impossible to do this without three months.

If we really pull over the 100,000 troops in Chongshan Town, the manpower and material resources consumed will be really terrifying.

As for the dispatch of troops from other places?

Yang Zhengshan could not move the soldiers from other border towns.

Where is Zhou Lan?

She has been staying in the northern part of Longyuan Province. Yang Zhengshan doesn't need to think about it and knows that she is because of insufficient food and grass.

In addition to the army attacking Hanzhong Prefecture, there is another way to kill King Daliang to avenge Chen Zhaoxuan, that is, to use innate warriors!

More than a dozen innate warriors took action together, and even if there were 100,000 soldiers under the command of King Daliang, they could not stop him.

It is not difficult to dispatch more than a dozen innate warriors on Xingyue Island now, but Yang Zhengshan was a little hesitant whether to dispatch innate warriors.

He was estimating the attitude of Darong's court.

Once the Yang family dispatches more than a dozen innate warriors, the Yang family may not be able to continue to gain a foothold in Darong.

Once this terrifying strength is exposed to the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Darong court, the threat of the Yang family will be far beyond those bandits.

If more than a dozen innate warriors are not good, what if Yang Zhengshan goes by himself?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan let out a heavy breath.

Do assassination!

It’s not that he hasn’t done it, but it’s hard for him to do it now.

Too much loss!

He is also a shameless person. He uses his cultivation to assassinate a bullshit King of Daliang. Even if he helps his disciples take revenge, he can't afford to lose this person.

Why don’t the court send innate warriors when facing rebels?

Is it because the emperor doesn’t want to?

No, it is because the innate warriors are unwilling to do such embarrassing things.

It's like an adult bullying a child.

Unless the enemy also has innate warriors, innate warriors are generally unwilling to intervene in the war.

This has almost formed an unspoken rule.

Or it is a kind of moral constraint.

Constraints on innate warriors.

As long as the innate warrior is shameless, he will not attack the innate warriors, nor will he run to the battlefield to charge.

Just like when Yang Zhengshan captured Yemi City, he just killed a few enemies who came up with him without eyes, and did not rush around like before.

In addition to doing it himself, Yang Zhengshan could not think of any good way to avenge Chen Zhaoxuan for a moment.

"Hey~~"

"Let's celebrate the New Year first, and then we can talk about this after the New Year!" Yang Zhengshan sighed.

He planned to see the situation first. Chen Zhaoxuan's revenge must be avenged. If the Darong court can avenge him, Yang Zhengshan will not have to do it. If the court cannot avenge him, or if the Daliang King becomes powerful, then Yang Zhengshan can only do it himself.

After the three brothers left, Yang Zhengshan sat alone in the tea room for a long time.

After staying in this world for so many years and experiencing so many things, he has long been accustomed to life and death, but he still feels sad for Chen Zhaoxuan.

When he left Xingyue Island, he also received a letter from Chen Zhaoxuan. Chen Zhaoxuan also said that when his son grows up, he will send him to Xingyue Island and let him, as the master, teach him for a few years.

It's a pity that he will never see this disciple again.

After sitting for half an hour, Yang Zhengshan slowly stood up and told Li Chang outside the door: "Tell the business and ask them to find out about the news of the daughter of the King of Dai!"

"Yes!"

Chen Zhaoxuan only had this one flesh and blood left alive, so Yang Zhengshan, as the master, naturally had to take care of him.

Yang Zhengshan's sadness did not last long, because it was New Year's Eve soon, and Xingyue City was extremely lively.

The fleets that went out returned one after another, of course, some did not come back.

This is how it is to make a living on the sea. Those who are away for the New Year and other holidays may not be able to come back, and many people go out for more than half a year.
