Early in the morning of December 29 in the first year of Longwu, Yang Yinglong learned a shocking news.

His son, the eldest son, Yang Chaodong, led 30,000 elite soldiers to conquer the Sichuan general army Ma Qiancheng, but the whole army was wiped out in Qijiang County, and he was defeated and captured.

If he breaks through Tongzi, there will be no defense facilities that can stop him before Loushan Pass, and he can only rely on Loushan Pass to stop him.

Yang Yinglong was shocked, and at first he couldn't believe this fact, until a group of defeated soldiers who numbered less than a hundred and escaped by luck appeared in front of him and cried to him, he believed this fact, and then ordered all these people to be killed.

The Lord will be caught, and you will not be qualified to come back alive.

After the group was killed, worse news came.

Yang Zhu's army was defeated in Longquan County, only more than 2,000 people fled back, and the rest were either captured or killed, Yang Zhu himself was beheaded by the Qin army, and died very miserably, Liu Dadao had already marched towards Sangmu Pass with the army in a fierce manner.

On the 29th, there was no news of Yang Weidong, and after Yang Yinglong suffered two major blows in succession, he still had a faint thought, thinking that he could win a victory in the south and save the current precarious situation.

The news of the two defeats, especially the first brave general Yang Zhu in Banzhou, was killed by Liu Ling, this news is too shocking, and it greatly destroyed the military heart of the Banzhou army.

He hadn't slept all night, just waiting for the news.

In the early morning of the 30th, the news came.

Yang Weidong lost the battle, he was captured, the 30,000 army was annihilated, and less than 1,000 people fled back.

Hope was completely shattered, and Tian Nufeng, who was waiting for news by Yang Yinglong's side, was also scared silly, she looked at Yang Yinglong in a panic, and the six gods had no master.

At this time, she is also fragile, and she needs Yang Yinglong, a man, to give her a little reliance and stability.

But after Yang Yinglong heard the news, he didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly his face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell to the ground and fainted.

"Ah——————!!!h

Tian Nufeng's screams bode well for a not so good future.

By the time Yang Yinglong woke up, it was already the evening of the 30th, and he found himself lying on the bed with the sound of crying in his ears.

He turned his head a little hard and saw Tian Henfeng lying on the edge of the bed crying.

Memories of the day flooded over him, and he remembered the messages that made him faint with rage.

Although he was a little uneasy when he sent his troops out to fight, and he was always uneasy after sending them out, he still never expected that the three-way army would be exhausted and the resistance would completely fail.

At present, there are less than 50,000 people who can be used in their hands, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of fierce Qin troops, defeat seems to have become a foregone conclusion.

He began to regret why he took the initiative to attack, if he could firmly hold the key level, the Qin army would not be able to threaten his Banzhou foundation so easily.

He began to realize what a stupid thing he had done before.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and even if there is, it will not save so many lives and such a miserable defeat.

The two sons were arrested, and his relative Yang Zhu was killed, and his strength fell to the bottom all of a sudden, plummeting.

Before, there may have been capital to negotiate with the imperial court, but now, it is gone.

Tian Nufeng was still sobbing quietly, which made Yang Yinglong upset.

"What are you crying about? I'm not dead! ”

He forcibly propped up his upper body and looked at Tian Nufeng with a dissatisfied expression.

He Yang Yinglong was just defeated, but he was not dead, and he still had the strength to fight, why did she cry like this? Like crying?

"Husband...... You're awake......"

Tian Nufeng quickly wiped her tears and helped Yang Yinglong up.

"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? Do you think I'm going to die? ”

Yang Yinglong was still very dissatisfied.

Tian Nufeng quickly shook her head.

"No, husband, this morning, after the news of Weidong's defeat came, the Luo clan and the Wang clan and the He clan immediately announced that they would fight for the official army, and they all rebelled, and several other families, the Song clan, and the Luo clan, also rebelled together.

They now occupy the three divisions of Wengshui Yuqing and Rongshan, and gather tens of thousands of troops, saying that they are waiting for the officers and soldiers to come together and march together to fight us, husband, what should we do? ”

Tian Nufeng's tone had panic that could not be concealed.

The Yang family is the suzerain of Banzhou, and there is a vassal group of five divisions and seven surnames below, all of which are the ancestors of Yang Yinglong's ancestor Yang Duan in the third year of the Tang Dynasty, and the big surname that was divided into feudal titles after defeating Nanzhao and separating Banzhou, has coexisted with Yang's Tusi for hundreds of years.

The Chinese Tusi system has been gradually perfected since the creation of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the inheritance norms are strict, there are rules to follow, and the same example, the five divisions and seven surnames who inherit the office of the chief official, and their inheritance of the table must be declared to comfort the Si Yinwen Naida, and the benefits attached to this suzerainty are self-evident.

As a result, the suzerain Yang often asked for bribes, spent a huge amount of money, and the inheritors could not bear the suffering, and the love of creating a foundation together was consumed in this long period of mutual exploitation.

In the Yang Yinglong period, with the corruption of the Ming court and the economic crisis in the south of the Yangtze River caused by the silver famine caused by the destruction of the Spanish Armada, Banzhou's situation became more and more difficult.

The days of several provinces in the interior are not easy, and Banzhou is rich and rich Everyone knows, the officials of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces are greedy, and they are trying to get benefits.

The people who were being exploited here couldn't stand it, so they could only transfer the pressure downward, so Yang Yinglong deliberately exploited and made it difficult for the local people to whom the five divisions belonged, and asked for all kinds of bribes, and the seven surnames of the five divisions were miserable, and finally Yang Yinglong's murder of his wife was used as the fuse, and the five divisions and seven surnames united together to turn their faces on the suzerain, Yang.

They relied on the governor of Guizhou to attack Yang Yinglong, and the governor of Guizhou took the opportunity of the rebellion of the five divisions and seven surnames to suppress Banzhou.

In the face of the corrupt officials who were against him like wolves and tigers in the nest, Yang Yinglong's tyrannical temperament couldn't stand it at all, so he took action.

In the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong sent troops to start a move on many small Tusi under his jurisdiction, and the Yuqing Chief's Lawsuit, Caotang Pacification Division, Huang Ping'an Pacification Division and Chong'an Chief's Lawsuit were brutally and bloodily killed by it, and the master-slave relationship for hundreds of years was completely severed.

He wanted to get rid of the evil, but on the one hand, the timely intervention of the Ming Court made him have to stop, on the other hand, he did make too many enemies, and he also had to face the pressure of the other three major toasts.

There are always some people with the five divisions and seven surnames who survived, and they have a deep hatred for him, and they have been looking for opportunities to retaliate against him, but the Yang family's military strength is strong, and Yang Zhu bravely crowns the three armies, which is a great deterrent, and for these armies, the survivors of the five divisions and seven surnames are very afraid.

But this time, they waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
