In November of the fourth year of Renshou in the Great Sui, Zhangye County ushered in the first heavy snow of the year.

It was almost evening, and the pine oil lamp was lit on the mountain of Taishou Jiang in Zhangye County, which made the room a little warmer.

With his status and status, he has his own distributed charcoals, but Jiang Yishan is not willing to use them. He is convinced that the more privileged the environment, the more difficult it is to maintain a hard life. A comfortable life will make people unenterprising, and he was born in an ordinary aristocratic family, not even a door valve, and he is superior in front of ordinary people and cold doors, but compared with those top gate valves in the Great Sui, it is the difference between a mouse and a tiger.

And he is even the largest official in their Jiang family within five generations. This is inseparable from the fact that he has a strong sense of initiative, or rather strong ambition.

And this is also the reason why Jiang Yishan has always retained his simple living habits.

In addition, compared to the vast majority of Taishou who are just pure civilian officials, Jiang Yishan is considered to be both civil and military, he even learned military books with others when he was a child, and made a good marksmanship, and he has often practiced martial arts over the years, and has never been unfamiliar.

Looking at the heavy snow outside, Jiang Yishan remembered that the day his father died, it was also snowing like this. Then I remembered the last words of my father when he passed the Jiang clan patriarch to him before he died, and he held his hand tightly.

"I must make our Jiang family a top family in the Great Sui and a member of the gate valve." Jiang Yishan muttered to himself, picked up the tiger's head and chiseled the golden gun, and strode out of the room.

Standing in the courtyard, he remembered that Ying Yanglang had left the city ten days ago and had not returned, and then remembered that a few days ago, the people of the Jingzhong clan had come with a fast horse to send the news that the young poisonous general would take over Li Fengyun, and he couldn't help but feel extraordinary. Gloomy.

He could guess what Li Fengyun was going to do, and he could also think of the emperor's deep meaning of letting Wang Junlin succeed Li Fengyun for no reason, which involved the most dangerous battle between the imperial power of the Great Sui and the gate lord family, this whirlpool was too deep, with the power of their Jiang family, with his little Taishou with no background, he was not qualified to participate in this matter at all.

It's a pity that he knows the truth that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, so far Li Fengyun has not returned, and the 3,000 cavalry of Wang Junlin Gaotai City were instructed by Li Fengyun and the new overseer Yu Zhongwen to the hinterland of Tuyuhun. He could fully imagine what kind of battle or war was going on behind this.

Thinking that his dignified Zhangye County chief was so ignored by both sides, while rejoicing in his heart, he was also extremely depressed, and he shouted lightly and waved his spear. brought up a ray of light. The head of the spear trembled, and seven or eight spear flowers danced. The big gun was like a dragon going out to sea. Flying up and down, the depression in his chest gushed, shouting loudly, the sound of guns hanging in the wind, dancing with the snow all over the sky.

"Okay, Jiang Tai guards the marksmanship!"

Just as Jiang Yishan's dancing gun was rising, someone next to him suddenly shouted and applauded and laughed.

The big gun fluttered and the python turned over, Jiang Yishan retreated and turned his head to look to the side. I saw a man in his forties and fifties standing with his hands in his hands, smiling at him.

Jiang Yishan was stunned for a moment, then recognized the person, his pupils shrank, and then looked at the embarrassed face of his housekeeper next to this person and the palm print on his face, knowing that the other party forcibly refused to let the housekeeper report and came in directly. couldn't help but feel angry, but considering that this person's identity and the gate valve where he was located were not something he could afford to provoke, he didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face, but instead lifted the big gun with a look of surprise, and saluted and said: "Yu Gong, why are you here, and you don't report it in advance, and the next official is good to go out of the city ten miles to greet you." ”

Yu Zhongwen was very satisfied with Jiang Yishan's attitude, smiled and hugged Jiang Yishan, and said: "Lord Jiang's hand-locked throat gun is getting more and more beautiful, I have long heard that Zhangye County is too guarded to be both civil and military, and when I see it today, it is worthy of its reputation!" ”

"Yu Gong has won the award, Xia Guan is just dancing casually!" Jiang Yishan's mind quickly pondered, what did Yu Zhongwen's arrival represent? What is the purpose?

As for Li Fengyun, he had already arranged for his henchmen to keep an eye on the city gate and the Yingyanglang General's Mansion, if he came back, he would know as soon as possible, and now he has not received any news, indicating that Li Fengyun has not yet come. And what does it mean that Li Fengyun didn't come?

"Master Jiang doesn't need to be humble, with your talent, if there is strong reinforcement in the court, Yongzhou Assassin Shiyan can be the turn of Wang Tong." Yu Zhongwen's eyes narrowed, he said casually, and without waiting for Jiang Yishan to answer, he waved his hand and signaled the relatives behind him to retreat, and pulled Jiang Yishan into the room with the anti-guest as the main guest, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said a little inexplicably: "I have long known that Lord Jiang is an honest official, and he doesn't want to snow hard, and there is not even a brazier in the room." ”

Jiang Yishan hurriedly said: "Yu Gong has tormented the lower officials, and the lower officials listened to their father's reading when they were young, and one of them reads like this: The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin...... I think that's a good point. Those who achieve great things must always be vigilant, greedy for enjoyment, and will lose their fighting spirit. ”

Yu Zhongwen nodded again and again, and said meaningfully: "What Lord Jiang said is good, but Lord Jiang is highly motivated, no matter how good the official is, if there is no one to support him at a critical moment, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things." ”

Jiang Yishan didn't seem to hear the hint in Yu Zhongwen's words, and shouted to the housekeeper outside the door: "When Duke Yu comes, don't immediately order someone to send the brazier." ”

After a while, there was a brazier sent by Jiang Yishan's relatives, adding a little warmth to the room.

Jiang Yishan thought about it again and again, but still asked directly: "I don't know what happened when Duke Yu suddenly came to my Zhangye County City and went straight to the lower official mansion?" ”

Yu Zhongwen sighed, stared at Jiang Yishan, and said: "A few days ago, part of the Turkic army suddenly went south from the land of Hetao, and Li Fengyun dispatched a total of 10,000 defenders of Shapingguan and Shifengzhai to ambush the Turkic army. ”

"What, this...... How is this possible, then the king is ......" Jiang Yishan was startled, his face changed, and he couldn't help but get up and say in a lost voice.

Yu Zhongwen's expression sank, and he snorted coldly, and said: "Is Lord Jiang questioning the words of the official, that Wang Junlin has a malicious mind, and the various officials in the court have long suspected that his origin is unknown, and now he is making such a treasonous thing, what is the fuss?" ”

"Yu Gong forgives the sin, the lower official has no such intention, but when he heard the news at first glance, he was a little out of shape." Jiang Yishan's face changed slightly, and he bowed down to apologize to Yu Zhongwen.

At the same time, while secretly scolding Yu Zhongwen in his heart, he was thinking about what the other party wanted to do, and now it seems that it is a foregone conclusion that he wants to pull him into the water, but what should he do himself?
