Li Mao dropped his pen, clapped his hands, looked at Yang Honghuan, who was sweating on his aching forehead, and said to Yang Renlin: "Openly beating Qincha, this is a felony of the Jiu clan, I think he is young and a first-time offender, don't care, you take it back and hand it over to Yang Yuanjun to discipline well." ”
Yang Honghuan is known for his military force, and he is invincible in the Xiazhou army with his special status, this morning he went to visit his nephew Zheng Dakun, Zheng Dakun did not wake up from a coma, and his nephew and daughter-in-law cried to him that Zheng Dakun had a stick wound on his buttocks, and he couldn't sleep at night.
Yang Honghuan carefully inspected and found that there were indeed several injuries on her body, her heart ached, and with a sense of anger, she wanted to find trouble with Li Mao, but when she saw that Li Mao had held back for a night to write so many words, she suddenly became angry.
He wanted to beat Li Mao to vent his anger for his nephew and daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect Li Mao's hands to be so hard and his defeat was so miserable.
Yang Renlin glared at this grumpy cousin, shook his head, and went to return to Yang Huilin.
Entering the inner house, he saw Zhang He coming out of Yang Huilin's room, Yang Renlin muttered in his heart, earlier he heard Chen Zhonghe and Wang Chengfang say that Zhang He said something to Li Mao in private, and then turned around and reported to Yang Huilin, such a villain, how can his brother be reused? Yang Renlin decided to remind her brother.
When Yang Huilin saw her younger brother coming, she said: "Li Mao refused to help me speak, I expected this a long time ago, don't embarrass him, this person will be locked up first, and it will be useful in the future." ”
As soon as the elder brother opened his mouth and said everything he wanted to say, Yang Renlin answered, thinking that there was nothing to say, so he wanted to say goodbye and walk away. Yang Huilin stopped him and asked, "We played the card, let's see how the court picks it up." You have to adjust the guards in the military palace with dim sum, you must know that the house thief is the most difficult to prevent. ”
Yang Renlin thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Zhang He and Li Mao have met in private, and I am afraid that this person will not be able to use it." ”
Yang Huilin shook her hand and said, "On the contrary, this person is available, and it must be reused." ”
Yang Renlin exclaimed: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, this person can rely on Li Mao's face today, how can he not be grateful for Li Mao's kindness, what if this ......"
Seeing that her brother was so cautious and cautious, Yang Huilin couldn't help laughing: "He has been in Xiazhou for nearly 20 years, Li Mao sold his brother a face, and he followed a little light, but you must know that it is I who has brought him today, not Li Mao, he is a person who understands current affairs and can carry it clearly." ”
Yang Renlin said: "There are so many people in the military government, why does my brother want to use him, my brother really wants to promote him and let him lead the army outside the mansion." ”
Yang Huilin shook her head and said, "You listen to me, I have my own opinions." ”
Although Han Quanyi and Yang Huilin are strong in Xiazhou, they are different from those feudal towns in Hebei that have been passed down for generations, they are officials sent by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and there are officials who are iron-clad yamen and flowing water, and there are some boss stools in each yamen who have not moved their butts for decades. These people may not have a high status, but their energy is very great, especially in special periods, ignoring their existence is to make a big mistake.
Yang Huilin's request for her younger brother to adjust the guards of the military government is bound to involve the interests of these people, and once they misunderstand, the consequences will be unimaginable. The reuse of Zhang He is to eliminate this misunderstanding, Zhang He's father and brother were both soldiers of the Ya Army during their lifetimes, and they had extensive connections in the Ya Army in Xiazhou, and they can be regarded as one of the senior bosses.
But Zhang He's boss stool is not strong enough, and Yang Huilin weighed it and felt that she still had a good grasp of it, so she gave an explanation to the other boss stools. I, Yang Huilin, adjusted the military guards by no means to get along with anyone, I completely complied with the needs of the development of the situation, and I had to raise the level of the guards when I was going to fight.
If you don't believe it, Zhang He is an example, he is also a boss stool, why can people be mixed up, not only was he not kicked out of the military government, but he was also promoted three levels in a row, and he became a pivotal soldier in the military government. Therefore, if you want to complain, you will complain that you are not cultivating enough, and if you want to complain, you will complain that your nostrils are facing the sky on weekdays, and you don't have enough respect for me, Yang, an outsider, the chief is the chief, if you don't respect the chief, is it difficult for the chief to respect you? Deserve.
Using Zhang He to block the mouths of the old guys in the military government is the main reason why Yang Huilin reuses Zhang He.
Zhang He betrayed Li Mao, this is what Yang Huilin values the most, with his Zhang He's words, he can completely put Li Mao to death, which shows that Zhang He has nothing to do with Li Mao, and in the face of right and wrong, he Zhang He is on his side.
Moreover, after Zhang He betrayed Li Mao, he actually cut off the back road to return to the dynasty, and he could only follow himself in the future to have a way out.
Keeping such a person by her side, Yang Huilin felt steady.
But Yang stayed and couldn't sleep a few more steadily, so that he was not solid news came one after another, Hedong Jiedu envoy Yan Shou was appointed as the Xiazhou envoy, immediately sent his general A fall into the light, A fell Guangyan brothers supervised 17,000 people to cross the river to the west, the remaining four towns each sent elite soldiers to surround all sides, the five towns gathered 74,000 troops, and the momentum was fierce to kill Xia Zhou.
Yang Huilin felt a little confused, what happened to the imperial court, which has always been perfunctory and weak in the feudal town, this time, why did it suddenly become arrogant and make such a big move, this is to put herself to death.
Didn't you say that Liu Bi in the south was making trouble, why didn't the court beat Liu Bi but came to beat me? Dare to pinch me as a soft persimmon up and down, why?
After being confused, Yang Huilin felt a painful fear to the marrow, and it was only now that he realized that he was not actually suitable to be a town festival envoy, and he had been calling for wind and rain in Xiazhou all these years, that was because he was stained with his uncle's light, he was a fox and a fake tiger. Now that my uncle is gone, there is no one to rely on, the fox and the fake tiger are no longer good, everything is back to its original shape, and it is all over.
In this kind of instability, Yang Huilin doesn't feel at ease at anyone, especially Xia Sui's original general, he looks at anyone as if he wants to replace him. Even his own brother Yang Renlin, Yang Huilin no longer meets him.
Now he only wants to stay with his subordinates, they are dependent on themselves to survive, anyone can abandon him, they won't, because to abandon him is to abandon themselves.
Zhang He's status is now highlighted, he was born as a humble general, and he relied on his single-handedness to get to where he is today, although he was the envoy of the military government, but without himself, he Zhang He is nothing.
If other generals kill themselves, they can take refuge in the imperial court, obtain official titles, and seek benefits, and even their own brothers can get some benefits if they kill themselves. It's just that he Zhang He can't, he sold Li Mao to himself, how could Li Mao reuse such a villain?
In order to let Zhang He follow him with all his heart, Yang Huilin deliberately took him to see Li Mao, and asked Li Mao why he wanted to kill him face to face, Li Mao looked innocent, denied it, and asked Yang Huilin to come up with evidence. Of course, the evidence will not really be given to him, and Yang Huilin's purpose is not to go to a lawsuit with Li Mao.
What he wants is to let Zhang He know that he has no way back, and he can only follow him in the future.
The situation is obviously extremely unfavorable to Xiazhou, the war has not started, the imperial court has fundamentally denied the legitimacy of Yang Huilin's army, the division is famous, in order to divide the enemy, unite the brothers, if the division is nameless, then the upper and lower centrifugation, but also give those who are not with their own heart to raise troops against their own reasons.
This is not what Yang Huilin is most worried about.
The imperial court's decision to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Xia Zhou seems to be very fatal, but in fact, it is only the knowledge of a layman, since it has been planned for a long time, how can it not be prepared at all? Xiazhou's grain depot has long been stockpiled with enough grain and grass to last a year.
In one year, either he died or the court gave in, which was enough.
What Yang Huilin is most worried about now is that the 70,000 army is surrounded on all sides, and Xiazhou has 20,000 troops, and the soldiers are fierce and brave and good at fighting, but the problem is that Yang Huilin has no available generals, Xiazhou is not short of generals, but the generals who can fight He is not at ease, and the generals he is relieved to not be able to fight.
One general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies, and before the war started, the situation in Xiazhou was already precarious.
After wandering outside Xiangyun Temple for half a month, the envoy of Longshou Mountain finally had the opportunity to sneak into the temple and handed over a secret edict to Li Mao, to the effect that the imperial court only recognized Yang Huilin as a rebel, and the coercion as long as he repented, he would not be held accountable for his past crimes.
"This edict came at a good time." Zhang Qi said angrily, "This is clearly a life talisman." ”
"There are thousands of precautions, ghosts are difficult to prevent, and there are bad people in the house."
Qin Mo and Zhang Qi hung their heads. Xibao couldn't figure out what this edict had to do with the amulet, but looking at the dejected expressions of the two, he also felt that something was wrong.
Li Mao still didn't move.
"This ...... What to do? ”
Xibao leaned over and asked cautiously, she saw that Qin Mo and Zhang Qi didn't want to see this edict, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.
Li Mao took the secret edict from her hand, read it, handed it to Xibao, and instructed: "Keep it close." ”
Xibao hid the edict in the V-shaped canyon between the twin peaks, the twin peaks of Xibao are towering and solid, the canyon is open and considerable, and it is not a problem to hide an edict.
Li Mao got up and said to Qin Mo and Zhang Qi: "I'll go to see Yang Huilin, tonight's third watch, if there is a fire in the direction of the military government, you try to get out, you don't have to look for me, go back to Chang'an directly." If there is no fire, wait and do not wander. ”
Qin Mo and Zhang Qi said in surprise: "If you go at this moment, how can he be defenseless, how can you assassinate him?" ”
Li Mao said: "I'm not going to assassinate him, I'm trying to persuade him to submit to the imperial court." ”
He glanced at Xibao and said, "You go with me." ”
Xibao was so excited that she almost didn't jump up, she squatted down, put her hand under the coffee table, groped for a while, and found a dagger made of lamb leg bones, the sheep bones were carefully polished, and the non-slip cloth strips were wrapped on it, which was very comfortable to hold in her hand.
The blade of the dagger is very sharp, and the bone cavity is opened as a natural channel for bloodletting.
Xibao had obviously been planning for a long time, Li Mao snatched her weapon, handed it to Qin Mo, and said, "Don't need this, remember everything to listen to me, and be patient." ”
Xi Bao replied in a deep voice like a soldier on a march: "Honorable order." ”
