It is rare to meet a genuine talent, this kind of high-end talent naturally cannot be let go, even if he is unwilling to give advice to the Tang Dynasty, but it is good for him to teach those children in Huangzhushan to teach classes.

Today's Tang Dynasty really lacks literate people, otherwise those who can only read and write a few commonly used words would not have become officials one by one.

However, although this Yang Xiucai is also important, Li Xuan does not plan to waste too much time on him and play a recruitment game that lasts for a year and a half, and this person is not an important military talent like Zeng Ziwen who has rich military theories and can quickly put the new army of the Tang Dynasty on the right track.

It's not worth Li Xuan's effort to solicit, so he plans to use a simpler and more straightforward way to take people away, and even in order to make him succumb more quickly, he does not hesitate to use the lives of the Yang family as a threat.

Yang Xiucai didn't stay long in the small building before he was kicked out, and then taken by Qian Mengjiu to an ear room.

Qian Mengjiu threw him a large pile of documents and said: "Yang Langzhong, you deal with these official documents first, and I will tell you about other things!" ”

Hearing Yang Langzhong's title, Yang Xiucai himself couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, just now Li Xuan didn't give him any chance to oppose at all, and directly forcibly arranged for him to be an official position in the military department.

Qian Mengjiu said that, seeing Yang Xiucai's worried look, he thought he was worried about his family, and immediately said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back in the next two days, but don't worry, your family will be fine, the official will order someone to arrange them, and when we leave, we will also take them with us!" ”

"What, they're going to be taken away too?" At this time, Yang Xiucai finally spoke, and there was panic in his words.

Only now does Yang Xiu know very well that unless he dies headlong now, it will be difficult to get rid of the so-called 'Langzhong' forcibly arranged by these pseudo-Tang thief troops.

But it doesn't matter if he is forced to do things for the thief army, but his family can't be restrained by himself, let alone mingle with him in the pseudo-Tang thief army, so he immediately said: "Mr. Qian, you have a lot of adults, please let go of the next family!" ”

However, Qian Mengjiu did not answer him directly, but said: "Yang Langzhong can rest assured, Your Majesty Shengming, he will definitely not treat me and other courtiers badly, and Yang Langzhong should pay attention to his title in the future, if the nonsense is heard by those martial artists, I am afraid it will not end well!" ”

Qian Mengjiu naturally wouldn't give Yang Xiucai any promises, let alone promise him to let go of their family and take the people of the Yang family with him, which was an important step to coerce Yang Xiucai to serve the Tang Dynasty.

If you only bring Yang Xiucai, what if this Yang Xiucai can't work and doesn't work? Or what if you want to flee or commit suicide outright?

Without his family as a threat, it is impossible for this Yang Xiu to do things for the Tang Dynasty willingly, so it is very necessary to bring his family as hostages.

However, after Yang Xiucai saw Qian Mengjiu's resolute attitude, he also changed his mind and said to Qian Mengjiu: "My old father is old, several young people are still young, and the women are all wrapped in their feet, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the journey, and I also ask Mrs. Qian to give them a shirt and let them stay, I will bring them with the army!" ”

Hearing this, Qian Mengjiu hesitated slightly, and only said after a while: "Your father and your brother's family can stay, but your husband and wife and children must go together!" ”

That old man is so old, it is estimated that he will hang up after a few days of walking with the army, and it is also a burden to bring it, maybe after he dies, he will make this Yang Xiucai have the courage to break the net.

As for Yang Xiucai's younger brother's family of three, it is better to bring it than nothing, and there is nothing if you don't bring it, anyway, there is Yang Xiucai's wife and a pair of children, and I am not afraid that Yang Xiucai will not give in.

If Yang Xiucai didn't even care about the lives of his wife and daughter, it would be useless to threaten the lives of his younger brother's family.

Hearing Qian Mengjiu's words, Yang Xiucai wanted to argue a few more words, trying to let his daughters stay, but at this time, Qian Mengjiu had already ignored him and walked out directly.

Looking at Qian Mengjiu who walked out, Yang Xiucai sighed deeply, today's development of events was beyond his imagination, he imagined that his wife and daughter would be ruined, and he imagined that his family would be all killed and wiped out, but he didn't expect that these bandits in Huangzhushan would actually want to work for them.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry again, what if the imperial court knew that he was working for the thief army, what would his family do?

No, we have to think about it again!

Yang Xiucai, who was in a mess in his heart, didn't have the heart to deal with these so-called official documents at all, and after thinking hard for a long time, he finally had the courage to ask to see Qian Mengjiu, who was handling official business next door.

Qian Mengjiu saw him, looked up and asked, "The official has already arranged for someone to send food and clothes to your family, what's the matter?" ”

Immediately, Yang Xiucai said: "Lord Qian, the little one has a reluctant request!" ”

"Say!" Qian Mengjiu said: "As long as the matter is not big, this official can make decisions for you!" ”

Yang Xiucai said: "Please also ask the adults to help the little ones forge a death certificate!" ”

"You want to play dead?" Qian Mengjiu stared at him for a long time, and at the moment he also guessed Yang Xiucai's thoughts, it was nothing more than that he was afraid that the court would know that he was doing things for the Tang Dynasty, and then anger his family.

Isn't it just pretending to be dead or even changing his name, what's the big deal, the Tang Dynasty has not done it, Zeng Ziwen returned to obedience and directly became the Privy Council War Division, for the safety of Zeng Ziwen's family, the Tang Dynasty has never publicized that Zeng Ziwen is still alive.

and also changed the name of Zeng Ziwen, Zeng Ziwen changed to Li Congwen, in order to confuse the Ming Dynasty government outside, but this name change is only in the official document and the external name, in private, everyone still calls it how it should be called.

Now that Yang Xiucai wants to pretend to be dead or even change his name, it is not a big deal, and immediately Qian Mengjiu said: "Well, this matter will be dealt with by the official!" ”

While Qian Mengjiu and Yang Xiucai were talking, Li Xuan in the small building was writing and drawing with Zeng Ziwen, or Li Congwen, on a hand-drawn simple map.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the scout cavalry in the morning, twenty miles south of Yangjia Village, a Ming army patrol was discovered, numbering about fifty!" Zeng Ziwen said as he wrote down a mark of the Ming army on the map, and at the same time kept saying:

"Judging from the movements of this Ming army, it is very likely that they came from Zhengtai County, plus the two Ming army patrols we found two days ago, and now we have seen three waves of Ming troops!"

Li Xuan frowned and muttered, "What do they want to do?" ”
