The following is the text of "(text) provided for you, please enjoy!
At the fifth watch, Yang Yuanqing got up quietly, he picked up the horizontal knife from the table, and walked out of the door quickly.
Yang Yuanqing now lives in the east courtyard of Yang Mansion, here is the concentrated residence of the important descendants of Yang Mansion, the treatment is much better than the original West Outer Courtyard, each descendant has an exquisite small courtyard, the courtyard gate is luxuriant, flowers are blooming, a row of bungalows has about five or six rooms, according to the practice of Yang Mansion, each grandson is also equipped with two maids and a personal servant.
Yang Yuanqing's yard is planted with peaches, plums, apricots, persimmons each one, the branches are luxuriant, the house is eighty percent new, five rooms, it was originally the residence of the second uncle Yang Xuan, Xuancheng moved away after marriage, this yard was empty for more than ten years, and it was just renovated the year before last.
This is the arrangement of Yang Xuanting, the director of the Yang Mansion, but Yang Yuanqing did not ask the maid and the little maid to serve, he just returned to Beijing on family leave, and he will return to Dali City after staying for a short time.
Yang Yuanqing has been back to the capital for nearly ten days, and he began to miss the life of the grassland a little, his comrades-in-arms and the boundless grassland, and even the sour mare's milk wine, he missed.
Yang Yuanqing stood under a lush persimmon tree, slowly pulled out the sharp horizontal knife, threw away the scabbard, stared at the tip of the knife that flashed with cold light, Huo Di slashed out, the knife was fierce, and in an instant, the knife light rose in all directions, and the cold front slashed in all directions.
He had already realized Zhang Xutuo's thirteen-style knife technique three years ago, which can be combined at will to make the knife technique ever-changing, and he is no longer as inexperienced as he was when he first played against Yujuluo, revealing flaws, and fighting on the battlefield, his rich experience has made his knife technique flawless, so that he has gradually mastered the three of long arrows, long lances, and short knives to cooperate in combat.
A persimmon leaf couldn't withstand the sharp blade, and it fell from the tree, and it fell in front of Yang Yuanqing's eyes. A cold light slashed, the war knife was as fast as thunder, and an incomparable force swept the leaves into the knife light, seeing that this leaf would be twisted to pieces, but at this moment, it seemed that everything in heaven and earth stood still, and even time was frozen, only the tender leaf fell down against the blade. The blades are intact.
Yang Yuanqing showed a faint smile on his face, after breaking through the stagnation and entering the breaking period, he had already glimpsed the most subtle part of Zhang Xutuo's thirteen-style sword technique, that is, the power to send and receive at will. It can be transformed from the most rigid to the most soft.
At this time, there is an indescribable loneliness in his heart, no matter how clever the knife technique is, it is difficult to fill the loneliness and loss in his heart, although he lives in the Yang Mansion, but his heart feels that it is thousands of miles away from the Yang Mansion.
At this time, there was a sound of running footsteps at the door, "Childe! ”
This is the voice of Second Uncle Liu, Yang Yuanqing walked to the door and saw Second Uncle Liu coming from afar. "Second Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
"Someone from the palace is waiting for you at the door."
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, it was only a little past the fifth watch now, what was someone in the palace looking for him? He nodded and walked briskly towards the door of the mansion.
There were two eunuchs standing outside the gate of the mansion, and when they saw Yang Yuanqing coming out, the two eunuchs immediately saluted and said, "General Yang." His Majesty urgently summoned and asked the general to enter the palace immediately to face the saint. ”
Yang Yuanqing knew that his grandfather had not returned overnight, and it was estimated that there was a major military event, so he turned over and rode towards Daxing Palace with the eunuch.
........
At this time, the sky was already a little numb and bright, and the eastern sky was white, in the imperial study of Yang Guang in the Taiye Palace. It was still brightly lit, Yang Guang and several important ministers had almost stayed awake all night, discussing the emergency military situation, and news had come that Yang Liang, the king of Han, had raised his flag to rebel.
If Yang Yong is Yang Guang's political enemy. Then the Han King Yang Liang is Yang Guang's military enemy, the Han King Yang Liang is the youngest son of the Sui Emperor Yang Jian, he was enshrined in the governor of the state, his fief is very large, the east of the Kuoshan Mountain is its belonging, from the west of the Kuoshan, the east to the Canghai, the south to the Yellow River, under the jurisdiction of 52 states, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, only Yang Liang's royal soldiers have 50,000 people.
Of course, Yang Liang's jurisdiction was not an independent kingdom, and the prefectures and counties under the annexed state were still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the army belonged to Yang Liang's commander.
Since the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed, Yang Jian began to cut the domain, he has successively cut off the domain of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu and Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and imprisoned Yang Xiu, while Yang Jun, the king of Qin, unfortunately died of illness, just when Yang Jian was about to cut the domain of Yang Liang, the king of Han, but unfortunately fell seriously ill, and finally had to hand over this tricky matter to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang originally wanted to use a stratagem to trick Yang Liang back to the capital, during Yang Jian's serious illness, he sent Qu Tutong to Xiangzhou to summon Yang Liang into Beijing in the name of Yang Jian, but the news of Yang Jian's death leaked, Yang Liang refused to return to Beijing, and it was inevitable to raise the flag to rebel, although Yang Liang has not yet rebelled publicly, but they must prepare as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by Yang Liang.
In the imperial study, in addition to Yang Guang, there are ministers such as Yang Su, Yuwenshu, and Changsun Sheng, as well as Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, and Yang Xuan, the king of Yuzhang.
They negotiated all night, and they were really a little tired.
Major matters have been decided, Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, strongly recommended Yang Su as the commander, while Yang Xuan, the king of Yuzhang, advocated Yuwenshu as the commander, which once made Yang Guang a little embarrassed.
Although Yuwenshu, like Yang Su, was also the general of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang decided to be cautious after careful consideration, and appointed Yang Su, who was more stable and more military talented, as the commander-in-chief, and the commander of the Jizhou Road to pacify the ambassador, Changsun Sheng was the deputy marshal, and the Xiangzhou Assassin History, Yuwenshu was the commander of the grain of the rear army, Yang Su commanded the 100,000 Guanzhong army, and levied the army east of the Kunshan Mountain, a total of 200,000 troops to conquer the Han King Yang Liang.
Changsun Sheng still hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, the minister's eldest son, Changsun Xingbu, is working under the Han King, and the minister is worried that he will be restrained by Yang Liang and will not be able to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly." ”
Yang Guang waved his hand, "The eldest grandson Aiqing can understand the difficulties of the country and accept the order in danger, I believe that Aiqing will not damage the righteousness of the country because of his son, and entrust the public with a heavy responsibility, don't shirk the public!" ”
Yang Guang saw that Yang Su also had something to say, so he smiled slightly: "Isn't there anything difficult about the servant?" ”
Yang Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the old minister, it's just that General Changsun recommended Yuanqing to go to Youzhou just now, and the minister is a little worried, he is young after all, and the minister is afraid that he will miss His Majesty's major event." ”
Yang Guang prepared to requisition the Youzhou army to attack Yang Liang to the west, but he received news that Dou Kang, the governor of Youzhou, had a close relationship with Yang Liang, and Yang Guang suspected that he and Yang Liang had colluded. decided to secretly arrest Dou Kang, and Changsun Sheng recommended Yang Su's grandson Yang Yuanqing to carry out this task, Yang Guang had a very good impression of Yang Yuanqing, and he immediately agreed.
Yang Su knew that Sun Tzu was quite capable, and he did not object to arresting Dou Kang, but he was worried that Yang Yuanqing would not be able to command the 30,000 Youzhou army.
Yang Guang walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, Yang Su made sense, although Yang Yuanqing was good at improvising. But after all, he is young and lacks qualifications, and it may be a bit difficult to command 30,000 troops, and once the Youzhou army is defeated, the situation will be a bit grim.
Yang Guang nodded. "Then, in the opinion of the servant, who is more suitable to command the Youzhou army?"
"Lao Chen recommends two people, but choose one of them, one is Li Zixiong of Lao Chen's old department, the predecessor of Jiangshan Thorn History, now in Luoyang, and the command ability is extremely strong......"
Before he finished speaking, Yuwenshu immediately objected. "Your Majesty, Li Zixiong's qualifications are insufficient, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be competent, the old minister recommends Li Jing, the governor of Daizhou, this person is strong in martial arts, and his command ability is no less than that of the old minister, he will definitely be able to take on this important task."
Yang Guang was also born as a commander of the army, and he knew the importance of the commander's heart. Although Li Jing, recommended by Yuwenshu, is a famous general, if he does not cooperate with Yang Su, it is very likely to lead to defeat, so he shook his head and said: "Daizhou is also equally important, and it is not possible to temporarily change generals. With him commanding the army of Youzhou, Yang Yuanqing can be his general. ”
Yang Guang immediately decided, "Immediately go to Luoyang to spread my will, seal Li Zixiong as the general and the assassin of Lanzhou, and order him to rush to Youzhou immediately." ”
Yu Wenshu is just a supporting role tonight. He wanted to compete with Yang Su for the coach, failed, he recommended his henchman Li Jing, or failed, even Yang Su's grandson Yang Yuanqing was able to take on the responsibility, which made him frustrated, he has always been Yang Guang's henchman, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was eager to become the first minister of the Great Sui, surpassing Yang Su, and now he finally understands that no matter how much he is favored by Yang Guang, he can't surpass Yang Su, a deep-rooted old tree, he sighed secretly in his heart, and can only continue to endure.
At this time, a eunuch reported at the door, "Back to Your Majesty, General Yang Yuanqing has arrived." ”
Yang Guang immediately smiled and said, "Let him come in!" ”
After a while, Yang Yuanqing walked in quickly, he was dressed in a military uniform, knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, "Yang Yuanqing, the guard of Fengzhou Dali City, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Yang Guang's eyes narrowed, this kid slipped away very fast, and he disappeared after Renshou Palace, he had the intention to make a few jokes, but in front of the important ministers, he must maintain the majesty of the emperor.
"General Yang is exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Yuanqing got up and saluted several important ministers, "See the ministers." ”
Eldest Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Yuanqing, I recommend you to Your Majesty, there is a tricky task. ”
Yang Yuanqing said without hesitation: "Weichen will never give up!" ”
Even Yu Wenshu couldn't help nodding, not to mention whether this Yang Yuanqing's ability is good, but this attitude is good, decisive and resolute, sonorous and powerful, no wonder Yang Su said that this person is the most popular among his grandchildren, and it is indeed a bit famous.
Yang Guang also admired Yang Yuanqing's attitude, so he smiled slightly: "You go to Youzhou to capture Dou Kang, the governor of Youzhou, for me, but you must not hurt his life, after arresting this person, Li Zixiong will be in charge of the Youzhou army, and you can be a general." ”
"Wechen understands, how many troops can Wechen bring?"
Yang Guang shook his head, "Not a single soldier is allowed to take it, you go alone, I will give you five hundred taels of gold, you can recruit troops on the spot, and set off after dawn." ”
........
Leaving the palace, Yang Su was a little tired, sitting in the carriage and resting with his eyes closed, Yang Yuanqing was silently looking out the window, but he was thinking about his task in his mind, I don't know whether to thank Changsun Sheng, or to scold him, Changsun Sheng obviously knew that he was coming to the capital for vacation, but he pushed this tricky task to him, without bringing a soldier or a soldier, and asked him to arrest the governor of Youzhou, the Dou Kang, who was strong in martial arts and brave and good at fighting, made him have to smile bitterly.
At this time, Yang Su in front of him smiled slightly, "Why, do you know that it's difficult now?" ”
"Grandfather, didn't I report it to the Military Merit Department at Lake Harry?" Yang Yuanqing thought of another thing, his military exploits in Harry's killing of Datou, so far there is no news at all.
"The military merit saint of Lake Harry already knows about it, and he talked to me about it yesterday and asked me how to reward you, and I pushed it off for you?"
"Why?" Yang Yuanqing was stunned.
"Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you are still just a young tree, now you need deep roots, not to grow taller, Yuanqing, you are the pearl that your grandfather hid in the sand, your grandfather doesn't want you to shine too early, including this Youzhou mission, I will shirk it for you, but I can't shirk it, let me worry!"
Yang Su let out a long sigh, his eyes were full of worry, his family was too strong, it was never a good thing, and his merits were high!
Yang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, and then said, "I can understand my grandfather's thoughts, I don't care, but what about my subordinates?" If I am rewarded for my merits, how will I lead the army in the future, has my grandfather considered it? ”
"I know this, I've thought about it!"
Yang Su said lightly: "Now that you have a grange under your name, it is the normal distribution of the family, you can sell it, reward the meritorious soldiers, and the bereavement of the dead, I know that you knocked He Ruobi five hundred taels of gold, I don't care about this." ”
After a pause, Yang Su said slowly: "Remember, only you know about this matter, selling the grange is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, he could understand that he was just a small officer, and it was not a big problem to sacrifice the army privately, but his grandfather was different, and he understood this very well in his heart.
Yang Su saw that he could accept his hard work, and couldn't help nodding secretly, his son can be taught, his grandson is excellent in martial arts, at most he is just a general, but to become a handsome talent, he must understand some taboo rules, Yuan Qing did not disappoint him, of course these things will not be born with it, but to be able to draw inferences from one another, a little transparent, this is talent.
"Do you have any questions?" Yang Su smiled slightly.
"Sun Tzu has another question, what should I do with this Youzhou mission?"
"You still go, I will send the Iron Shadow Eighteen Horsemen to follow you and let them help you, but you have to remember two things, Dou Kang's mother is the sister of the first emperor, that is, Princess An Changchang, Dou Kang is actually the holy cousin, you must not hurt his life; Secondly, the Holy Lord does not allow you to lead troops because you are going to pass through the land controlled by the King of Han, and you must not swagger and let the King of Han discover your intentions. ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Grandson remembers." ”
At this time, Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Grandfather, this time the king of Han in the east, give my master a chance!" ”
"Zhang Xutuo?" Yang Su squinted his eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'll ask someone to recruit him back tomorrow to help me." ”
At this time, at the gate of Yang's Mansion, there was a young silver-armored young general, holding a gold-backed tiger tooth knife, patiently waiting for Yang Yuanqing's return.
