Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Tigers of the Yang Family!
There are also many family members of soldiers who have committed suicide by their neighbors, and even the county guard of Hedong County was also convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason because he sent wine and meat to Huangshi to reward the army, and the whole family was beheaded, and one tragedy after another followed.
Nan!
Nanguan, the southern border pass of the Great Qin Empire, 50,000 Yang family troops are stationed here, and in the handsome tent of the Yang family army camp, there is a person standing and sitting alone.
A veteran sitting in the handsome seat, holding a piece of black and white in his hand, with a sad face, he is Yang Cheng, the head of the Yang family, the official worship is the general of the second rank of Shangyang, and the standing is Yang Long, the three tigers of the Yang family, referring to Yang Cheng, Yang Long, Yang Hu, and Yang Hu's father and son.
And Yang Hu is not in Nanguan, he is in Xiguan.
The Great Qin Empire has two most shining generals, that is, the Yang family and the Du family.
"Father, what is the matter that you are in such a hurry to summon me?" Yang Long asked with a puzzled expression.
"Alas!" Yang Cheng sighed lightly, as if at this moment, the wrinkles on his face were a little more, after sighing, Yang Cheng handed the white paper in his hand to Yang Long, Yang Long took the white paper while puzzled, when he saw the content on the white paper, his mouth couldn't help opening slightly, and his expression was also sluggish.
"This... This.. How is this possible? Yang Long's face was full of incredulity, and he couldn't speak well.
"Dad didn't expect it!" Yang Cheng sighed helplessly again, his expression was full of sorrow, and his eyes couldn't help but dim.
"Oh my God, three hundred and sixty-one people, all killed, Wei Huai, this dog, this one who received a thousand knives, this bastard!" Yang Long's eyes widened with rage, and he let out an angry roar.
The Du family is kind to Yang Long, if Du Yi hadn't interceded for him in front of the first emperor, he would have died a long time ago.
"Father, I know that Uncle Yi is a person, he will definitely not resist the decree because of a holy decree to return to Beijing to report on his work, there must be an unknown obscurity in it, Dad, we can't ignore this matter, we have to immediately lead a part of the cavalry to help Uncle Yi!" Yang Long said in an anxious tone, he must not just watch his benefactor being wronged and besieged!
"When will you be able to use your brain to think about things, now that your Uncle Yi has been accused of treason and the whole family has been beheaded, you are still leading your troops to help at this time, isn't it clear that you and Uncle Yi are in the same group?" Yang Cheng said hatefully.
"Does my father really think that Uncle Yi is rebelling?" Yang Long gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with tears and asked.
"Of course I don't believe it!" Yang Cheng replied without thinking.
"Then why not rush to the rescue? Is it just watching Uncle Yi die? The Du family is three hundred and sixty-one, three hundred and sixty-one, Uncle Yi knows, how sad it is, we can't save the dead Du family now, can't we save the living Uncle Yi and Brother Changjing? ”
Yang Long said and spoke, he couldn't help crying, looking very aggrieved, Yang Cheng saw Yang Long like this, his eyes were also red, tears swirled in his eyes, and he was silent for a while, and then said: "Long'er, you have to be clear, our Yang family, guarding the southwest and southwest passes, if you move, it will be dangerous, we, we must not lose a big loss because of a small loss, resulting in a loss of Great Qin!" ”
"Lost a big one? Could it be that in the eyes of his father, Uncle Yi's matter is a very small matter? Did my father forget that it was Uncle Yi who knelt in Xianyang Palace, and begged the emperor for three days and three nights in exchange for his son's life, and he kept kneeling on the hard floor tiles for three days and three nights! Yang Long's face turned red and he looked excited, his fists clenched, and his lips trembled slightly.
Yang Cheng got up from the handsome position, looked directly at the angry Yang Long with a solemn expression and shouted: "In front of the interests of the empire, everything is a trivial matter, even if the old man knows that tomorrow the Yang family will be killed in two hundred and thirty-one mouths, the old man will still stand in the South Pass, guarding the border line of the Great Qin Empire, without losing an inch of land, Long'er, you have grown up, you must have a sense of responsibility, the Yang family can maintain the gate for hundreds of years, and the Yang family army can guard the southwest two passes, it is because the previous emperors of the past dynasties believe in us, so we must not let the ancestors of the Yang family of the previous emperors of the past dynasties, do you understand?" ”
When Yang Long heard this, his fists tightened even tighter, and the anger in his heart became even stronger, but he did not continue to refute Yang Cheng.
"Whew!" Yang Cheng took a deep breath, walked behind Yang Long, patted Yang Long's shoulder with a vigorous and powerful hand, and said with a helpless expression: "Long'er, think about it, if your Uncle Yi really needs help, will he not send someone to ask for help?" The fact that he hasn't sent anyone now shows that he doesn't want us to be involved and knows our responsibility! ”
"There are two passes in the southwest, one is to guard against the Qiang tribes with wolf ambitions, and the other is to guard against the Qi Empire, our troops are not very sufficient, and now if we transfer some soldiers and horses, what if the Qi Empire takes the opportunity to attack? At that time, the Yang family will become sinners through the ages, reviled by the world, and all the glory of the past will be wiped out with scolding! ”
After hearing these words, the hands that were clenched into fists slowly loosened, Yang Long raised his head slightly, raised his hand to wipe his tears with the placket of his clothes, and then said with a choked voice: "I want to investigate, find out the true situation of this matter!" ”
"Dad suggests you don't check!" Yang Cheng replied softly.
"Why!"
Yang Long turned around incomprehensibly, looked directly at Yang Cheng and asked.
"If you find out, you will only be more worried, everything is doomed, what we have to do is to do our own responsibilities, understand?" Yang Cheng looked at Yang Long meaningfully and said.
"Nest!" Yang Long shook his hand angrily and ran out of the tent angrily.
This incident was a deep blow to Yang Long, and he felt that he was very guilty, and it was understandable not to let Chi help him, it was to protect the territory of Great Qin, but it meant a few things not to let him check the truth, he was really punched, and he had to swallow the teeth that he had knocked out into his stomach, looking like he was being angry, both nested and aggrieved!
Yang Cheng looked at Yang Long's departing back, shook his head again and sighed, muttering with a helpless expression: "Why didn't I want to find out the truth, and the family was innocent, but what if I found out?" The relationship between the two levels in the southwest is very important, and there must be no loss, Long'er, I hope you can understand your father's intentions, don't blame your father..."
Yang Cheng turned around and slowly walked back to the handsome position, Yang Cheng stretched out his old hand, stroked the handsome chair, and felt the responsibility of Mount Tai, sitting in this position, he should focus on the overall situation, this is the duty of a commander, and it is also the duty of the Yang family!
Next, Yang Cheng wrote a letter and sent a herald to Xiguan to present it to Yang Hu, the content of the letter was to ask Yang Hu not to move, to do his own thing, Du Yi's affairs, and not to mix.
Another month has passed, on the sixth day of the fourth month of Shengqin, the Great Jin Empire, Yiyang County, and Huang'an County!
