Chapter 45: Yang Gong's Treasury I
The weather in June can be unpredictable, with sunny skies one moment and heavy rain the next. It's just that the sun is still hanging in the sky like now, but the raindrops are densely falling from the sky, which can't help but remind people of the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites some time ago, and Lao He couldn't help but sigh: What is the matter with this world now? Even the nobles have rebelled, so they can't survive!
walked into the tavern and looked at the young offspring who was drinking with his head covered, Lao He secretly envied: It's better to be young! Seeing that this person is carefree, he looks like he has no heart and lungs and only cares about drinking and being happy, as if he is not afraid of the sky falling, which is really envious and jealous!
When Lao He was sighing there, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Shopkeeper, add wine!" Lao He hurriedly trotted over, looking at the empty wine jars in front of the descendants, Lao He was taken aback, and drank so fast. Although his wine is not old, it is also very powerful, and he drank three jars in a row in this later life without changing his face, which is really a good amount of wine!
Putting down the two jars of wine, Lao He wanted to stand at the door and continue to be in a daze, but was pulled by the latter student, "Shopkeeper, ask you about something, has the road south of the Luoshui River ever been smooth?" Can I get to the Eastern Capital City? ”
Lao He smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The guest officer just came here?" Since Yang Xuan, the eastern prince of the four princes, raised troops to relieve the urgency of the world and besieged Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang has long been impassable, where is there still a way to get in! ”
The latter looked straight at Lao He Banxiang with fixed eyes, making sure that he was not lying again, and immediately waved his hand, "Thank you shopkeeper, please give me the altar wine again!" By the way, I will also get two plates of that specialty side dish! Hearing that he wanted wine and food, Lao He promised to go happily. Since the siege of the eastern capital, his business here is not as good as day by day, and now he finally has a person, and his hands and feet are so generous, how can he not serve without care!
Seeing that the hotel shopkeeper went to cook in person, Cheng Yanjin picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. Since this Yang Xuangan besieged the Eastern Capital, there have been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the reason why this Yang Gongzi is besieging Luoyang is because the treasure house built by his father Yang Su is there. As soon as this remark came out, the world was a sensation.
When Yang Su died, when today's son searched his mansion, but did not find the gold and silver treasures that Yang Su had seized when he was in power, and then tortured several of his cronies and servants, only to know that Yang Su had put all the treasures in a secret treasure house, but unfortunately when today's son tried his best to find out the detailed location of the treasure house.
This time, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan raised troops, and Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, who inherited his father's title, was friends with Yang Xuangan, and later Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang, and took the idea of replacing him as today's son, and immediately secretly sent his children to Beijing to summon Li Mi, so that he and Yang Xuanting went to Liyang together to seek a great cause.
When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Li Mi responded to the call and gave advice to Yang Xuangan. In response to the situation at that time, Li Mi came up with three strategies for Yang Xuangan, including the upper, middle and lower, for Yang Xuangan to choose.
Li Mi thinks: The plan: attack Jixian directly, cut off the back road of Emperor Yang of Sui, and let his grain and grass be cut off and destroyed; Medium plan: In the middle of the customs, make a detour to Chang'an, so that Yang Guang will have no home after returning, and he can also defend half of the country according to the danger; Strategy: Attack the eastern capital Luoyang nearby, but Luoyang has been prepared, and the outcome is unpredictable. However, Yang Xuangan thought that attacking Luoyang was the best policy, because at that time, the eastern capital was prosperous and rich, and many families of civil and military officials were in Luoyang. Therefore, he led troops to cross the river from Ji County and besieged Luoyang, the eastern capital.
At that time, Yang Xuangan called for "solving the urgent need for the world", and the followers were like streams, Yu Hangmin, Liu Yuanjin, etc. also raised troops to respond, and more than 40 people such as the children of nobles and bureaucrats such as Guan Wang ** Zi Gongdao and Han Baohu Zi Shige came to the army, and Zhao Yuanshu, the doctor of Guanglu, and Hu Sizheng, the squire of the military department, also conspired with him. Yang Xuangan regarded these people as confidants, but unexpectedly, some of them actually infiltrated today's spies to gain Yang Xuangan's trust, and then revealed Yang Xuangan's true intention to attack Luoyang.
As soon as the news of the 'Yang Gong's Treasure House' came out, everyone in the world who had some ability moved their minds. Thinking that when Yang Su was there, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he didn't know how much gold and silver treasures were looted, even when he was today, he was moved, not to mention the small people who were promoted to fight. As the saying goes, 'A man dies for wealth, but a bird dies for food', and only one or two things in that treasure trove can be used in this life. How can such a great temptation not be exciting.
When Cheng Yanjin came to the outside of Luoyang City, more than a month had already passed since Yang Xuangan raised his troops, and a lot of heroes from the rivers and lakes of the three mountains and five mountains had already gathered, and the above situation was inquired about by the people who came before. Now that he knows that Yang Gong's treasure house is in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, the heroes from all walks of life are naturally eight immortals who cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, and sharpening their heads one by one to drill into the city!
It's a pity that there are not only Yang Xuangan's rebels stationed outside Luoyang City, but also Yue Wang Dong and Fan Zigai of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the city. It's easier said than done. Originally, Cheng Yanjin also wanted to ask the hotel owner if he could enter the city from elsewhere. After all, this person is the head snake of the earth, and the iron law of the rivers and lakes is that 'snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat holes', this person may know something, but unfortunately the result disappointed him.
After paying for the wine, Cheng Yanjin turned around and walked out of the tavern, looking at the military camp in the distance, his heart was full of worry. Yesterday, the secret agent of the Zhuque branch of the Yan Gang came with the news that when today's son had withdrawn his troops from Liaodong in a hurry, he went south, and ordered Wu Benlang to attack Chen Ling to attack Yuan Wu in Liyang, Wuwei General Qu Tu Tongtun Heyang, and Zuo Yi's general Yu Wenshu to send troops to follow.
Not only that, but the right Xiaowei general Laihu'er, who had already led the army to Dongnae to prepare to attack Goryeo, stopped attacking Goryeo without permission and returned to the west. And sent his son to Hong, to play the emperor.
With the arrival of reinforcements loyal to the emperor from all walks of life, especially the timely return of the army, it will quickly form a counter-encirclement with the left Yiwei general Yu Wenshu and the right Hou Wei general Qu Tutong to form a counter-encirclement of Yang Xuangan who surrounded Luoyang tomorrow. At that time, this Yang Xuangan will definitely suffer from the enemy, and I am afraid that it will be the end of the head falling to the ground.
This Yang Xuangan and Cheng Bingjin are not related, if he is usually killed, but this Yang Xuangan is the only person who knows the detailed location of his father's 'Yang Gong's Treasure House', and even how to enter, after all, what good things Lao Tzu has must be left to his son, throughout the ages, it has been the same. That Yang Su only loves Yang Xuangan such a son, if he dies, I'm afraid that Yang Gong's treasure house will have no hope.
Standing there and thinking about it for a while, Cheng Yanjin decided to infiltrate Yang Xuangan's camp and make a deal with him with the information he obtained. After all, no matter how much gold and silver treasure there is, it also needs life to enjoy it. It is no problem to sell this information for a high price, and if it can go well, it may be possible to share the treasures in Yang Gong's treasure house equally with this kid.
With the help of two Vermilion Bird Hall agents, Cheng Yanjin took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the camp. The two spies took him to a hidden place, and one of them pointed to a heavily guarded military tent not far away and said, "Gang leader, that is where Yang Shangshu's camp is located, and the guards are all his own soldiers, and the villains can't infiltrate it, so they can only bring the helper here, and ask the helper to forgive you!" ”
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, "It's okay, it's already very unexpected to be able to bring me here, it shows that the fact of the two of you is extraordinary, I will inform the hall that the reward for the two of you this year will be doubled, and you will be promoted to be a small leader!" ”
Seeing that the two spies retreated with a thousand thanks, Cheng Yanjin turned his head and stared carefully at the sergeant patrolling outside the military tent. After looking at it for a while, I finally saw a little gap between the patrols. With a little tiptoe on his left foot and an internal force, Cheng Yanjin took advantage of the patrol sergeant's blind spot to rush over and gently landed on the top of the military tent.
Looking back at the patrolling sergeant and didn't find anything unusual, Cheng Yanjin nodded happily, it seems that his grasp of the strength of this internal force has gone up to a new level, although there is no matching footwork, but just this silent landing is not simple.
Taking out the small axe in his arms, Cheng Yanjin wanted to draw a gap in the top of the tent. Unexpectedly, before he could do it, he heard a nice voice in the tent sound, "This good man outside can sneak into here silently, he is really a hero, since Your Excellency is here, why bother to learn from the gentleman on the beam, please tell it in the tent!" Before the voice fell, Cheng Yanjin found that the sergeants patrolling around had rushed over and surrounded the military tent.
Looking at the group of sergeants below who were like wolves, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to put away the axe and jump down from the top of the tent. Since he was called to break the line, he will no longer hide his nature, he will not enter the tiger's den, and he will be a tiger, in order to pursue profits, it is still okay to take some risks.
Besides, listening to the tone of the person in the tent, it didn't seem to be annoyed by Cheng Biting Jin rudely sneaking in and standing above his head to peep. Since the other party has no hostility for the time being, Cheng Yanjin doesn't mind meeting him, even if he wants to kill him for a while, he will always have to see the master here, and tell him that Xiang is not!
As soon as the curtain was lifted, people inside and outside were stunned. Cheng Yanjin didn't expect that there was no one in this military tent, it was getting late, but there were two men in the military tent standing in front of a pair of sand tables, looking at the appearance of Luoyang City, it was obvious that the two people were discussing countermeasures and studying the plan to attack Luoyang, but they didn't know which of the two was Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su.
The people in the Vermilion Bird Branch have a lot of information, but unfortunately there are no people who are good at ink and blue among the secret agents, otherwise they just have to hand over the portrait of Yang Xuangan, and Cheng Yanjin will not have to be so embarrassed as at this moment, and he doesn't know who to greet when he comes to someone else's land! It seems that it is time to find a master to teach those spies well, so that they will not be so embarrassed in the future.
Just when Cheng Yanjin was silent there, the two people in the military tent also glanced at each other with surprised eyes. The leakage of Yang Gong's treasure house has long been rumored to be known to the world. Although the spy who leaked the news was found, the matter was irreparable.
In the past few days, there have been countless good people in the rivers and lakes who have heard the news and wanted to get the treasures in the treasure house, so this military tent is not only heavily guarded, but also has a master secretly guarding the military tent day and night.
Just now the two of them were reminded by the guards, and then they found Cheng Biting Jin who had infiltrated, originally the two thought that someone with such skills and courage must be a long-famous senior master in the rivers and lakes, or an old immortal in the martial arts. However, as soon as Cheng Yanjin came in, he found that it was a young man. The gap between reality and imagination is so big, how can it not surprise the two of them.
