When they arrived at the station, the sun was not yet scorching, and there was still dew on the trees, which was flowing along the veins of the leaves, and the arrival of everyone broke the tranquility of Zhongshan, and the still birds flew up, hovering and chirping in the air. The family members and the soldiers were busy, setting up tents, collecting firewood, and making bonfires.

Yang Lian took off the package from the war horse and was about to set up a tent, when the county lord of Huairou came over with his family, pointed at Yang Lian, and said, "It's here, let him be stationed by my side." ”

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment and said, "County Lord, he is a stinky man." ”

"What's wrong with the stinky man? Be safe near him. Lord Huairou said, looking as a matter of course.

The green dress said "oh", and stopped talking, directing several attendants to be busy. Several guards even set up a tent with Yang Lian. Yang Lian glanced at it a few times, and then relieved his heart, these guards still have the ability to set up tents.

After packing up his things, Yang Lian checked his equipment and prepared to go.

This hunt was completely autonomous, and seventy or eighty of the more than 100 people were subordinates and family members, most of whom stayed to work in the camp, and only a small number of people went out to hunt. Everyone is ready, and the necessary tools for hunting are to be carried.

Yang Lian looked at Li Congjia, and suddenly felt a headache, there didn't seem to be a few powerful people in his group. Needless to say, Zhou Ehuang is purely here to play; Li Congjia couldn't ride a horse steadily, and he couldn't shoot arrows if he wanted to. As for the lord of Huairou, most of them don't know how to shoot arrows.

However, Emperor Zhou E and the county lord of Huairou were full of interest, and Yang Lian didn't have to pour cold water, but Li Congjia lowered his head, thinking that he was scolded by Li Hongji, a little unhappy, and couldn't lift his spirits.

In the distance, Li Hongji, Zhou Hongzuo, Zhu Lingyun and others set off one after another, galloping on horseback, but a little happy. A group of people roared out, the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the mountains, and many small animals were frightened away. Yang Lian looked at it and shook his head slightly, are these guys really here to hunt?

After waiting for a while, several people were ready, and the guards around the county lord of Huairou and Li Congjia were a little uneasy, and they each came and followed from a distance behind them.

Yang Lian walked very slowly, in fact, hunting sometimes does not really want to hunt, at this time Yang Lian understood that the hunting that Zhou Ehuang said was actually a way of communication between the dignitaries and their children in the capital, and most of them were young people, both men and women, which was an alternative blind date. After figuring out this section, Yang Lian was not in a hurry, and slowly rode his horse.

The county lord of Huairou was only a step or two away from Yang Lian, she rode a little red horse with her head held high, and the leather whip in her hand danced in the air from time to time, which was very arrogant and domineering, which was in line with her character. Behind the two of them were Li Congjia and Zhou Ehuang, both of whom rode slowly and followed cautiously.

The county lord of Huairou secretly looked at Yang Lian from time to time, and saw that he was tall, wearing leather armor, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, and carrying a long knife around his waist, he couldn't help but laugh twice in his heart, thinking that it was really a dirt bun, dressed like this, could it be that he was going to war?

Yang Lian was thinking about his thoughts, at this time, a thin horse in front of him slowly shook over, it was Zhou Ye, who was recuperating at home, saw Yang Lian hurriedly walked up, and said with a smile: "Commander Yang, can you take me with you when hunting?" ”

The county lord of Huairou frowned and said, "Why don't you follow Zhou Hongzuo?" ”

"The Tao is different, not the same. Although Hongzuo and I are brothers, it is limited to this. On his day, maybe he will take his Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge. Zhou Ye replied, but his eyes looked at Yang Lian, as if he was not answering the county lord of Huairou, but answering Yang Lian.

Yang Lian glanced sideways slightly, and didn't say much, the county lord of Huairou snorted coldly, and said, "That's not bad, you are indeed a little different from that Zhou Hongzuo." In that case, you can follow us. ”

Zhou Ye smiled slightly, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you Commander Yang." ”

Lord Huairou's eyes widened, and he said, "I allowed you, what are you doing Xie Yanglian?" ”

Zhou Ye didn't speak, but looked at Yang Lian with a smile.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Let's go." "This Zhou Ye is a little interesting, Yang Lian is a little strange, is there still a homeland in Zhou Ye's heart?

Zhou Ye slowly rode his horse, walking side by side on the other side of Yang Lian, Zhou Ye suddenly raised his hand, pointed ahead, and said: "Zhongshan, naturally it is the place where dragon qi gathers, the ancestral dragon came here, he was greatly surprised, so he sent someone to destroy the dragon vein." However, even so, Jinling is still outstanding, Wu in the late Han Dynasty, Song Qi and Liang Chen in the Northern and Southern Dynasties are all here. It's a pity that although Jinling has dragon energy, it can't reach the Northern Dynasty after all. ”

"Since the Qin Dynasty, most of them have ruled the world in Guanzhong and Hebei, Liu Bang, Yang Jian, and Li Yuan have all ruled the world with Guanzhong, and Liu Xiu started with Hebei. Although the Southern Dynasty also had its heyday, it was only a flash in the pan after all. Commander Yang, in your opinion, what should you do? ”

Zhou Ye seemed to be testing Yang Lian, and suddenly asked this question.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Although the Southern and Northern Expeditions have disadvantages, Emperor Song was like a tiger back then, and he also won Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Yang Lian refers to Liu Yu of the Jin Dynasty, when Liu Yu gradually stepped onto the historical stage of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a humble man, and his Northern Expedition almost succeeded.

In Yang Lian's memory, Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the Republic of China were successful examples of the Northern Expedition, but there were special factors at that time, the ******** was relatively large, and the wisdom of the leader finally made the Northern Expedition successful. In addition to these two times, Liu Yu counted half a time, after all, he laid down Guanzhong and Luoyang. But except for these three times, in Yang Lian's impression, it seems that there is no more.

"Then in the opinion of Commander Yang, what should we do?" Zhou Ye asked again.

"Zhou Jiedu, is this testing me?" Yang Lian smiled faintly, but he didn't mind, and continued: "After Zhu Wen replaced the Tang Dynasty, there were frequent changes of regime in the north, first Liang and Tang, and now that the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, Liu Zhiyuan is recovering the Central Plains. I thought that this time the Khitans destroyed the Jin Kingdom, but the people of the Central Plains rebelled, and Yelu Deguang died of illness on the way back. Liu Zhiyuan started in Taiyuan and his influence was not great, but in just a few months, he was supported by the people. ”

"Why? In fact, the reason is very simple, there is no strong political power in the Central Plains, otherwise, how can he, a Shatuo person, be able to enter the Central Plains? It's a pity that I once wrote to the Son of Heaven and suggested sending a partial division to the north, as long as it is in the name of the Tang Dynasty, the people don't say that they eat pot pulp, at least they will remember that the Tang Dynasty was once strong, and it will take almost no effort to recover Luoyang, Bianliang and other places, as long as they can take the Central Plains and Shandong, the two Huai will be able to get shelter. Guanzhong has experienced many years of war, the people's livelihood has withered, although Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong and others have a certain strength, but it is not enough to divide one side. I'm afraid it's just dormant for the time being. ”

"As long as you occupy the Central Plains and Shandong first, over time, it will not be difficult to really control Hebei and Guanzhong." Yang Lian sighed as he spoke, with infinite regret in his heart. In the past few days, Yang Lian has made up a lot of geographical and military knowledge, and combined with some things that later generations know, these words are clear.

Zhou Ye looked sideways slightly, the two Huai have always been the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River, and the barrier of the two Huai is Shandong and the Central Plains. However, the Central Plains is the land of four wars, and if you want to hold the Central Plains, you must at least get Jingxiang and Shandong as the two wings, of course, if you can occupy Guanzhong, it is the best. Zhou Ye has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has followed Emperor Yang Wu Taizu Wu for many years, even if he can't analyze these truths, he has heard others talk about them, so he naturally understands them.

"This Yang Lian has some insight." Zhou Ye thought in his heart, and he was a little more satisfied with Yang Lian.

The county lord of Huairou was a little dissatisfied, pouting, obviously he was here to hunt and play, what kind of national affairs?

A few people stopped on a flat ground, Yang Lian got off the war horse, tied the war horse to the tree, held a bow and arrow in his hand, and was about to shoot a few rabbits, but the lord of Huairou followed, also carrying a short bow in his hand.

"I'm going too." Lord Huairou said.

Yang Lian thought about it, there should only be rabbits, deer and other animals in this area, and there should not be too much danger, so he immediately nodded and agreed. glanced back at Emperor Zhou E, and saw that she was talking to Li Congjia, so he walked over and said, "I'll go hunt a few wild animals for lunch, you guys are here, don't walk around." ”

Zhou Ehuang raised her bright eyes and glanced at Yang Lian, then lowered her head again, her eyes were full of disappointment, but she didn't say anything. Hearing the footsteps of Yang Lian leaving, Emperor Zhou E raised his head and saw the county lord of Huairou following behind Yang Lian, holding a short bow in his hand, looking happy, and Emperor Zhou E was very envious. For the first time, she felt that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting she had learned were not of much use.

The lord of Huairou said that she was hunting, but when she walked on this meadow, she saw that there were rabbits eating grass happily from time to time on the meadow, and her heart was even happier. But her archery skills were too poor, and after shooting a few arrows, she gave up.

On the contrary, Yang Lian was looking for a target everywhere, thinking that it would be enough to shoot a deer or a sheep or something.

The county lord of Huairou took care of hunting by himself, and there was a distance from Yang Lian. The county lord of Huairou suddenly found a rabbit, which was buried in the grass, and its body twitched slightly. The rabbit that was as white as snow was very good-looking, and the county lord of Huairou stepped forward, but the rabbit still did not move, staring at the county lord of Huairou with dark eyes.

The lord of Huairou County had compassion at that time, after all, she was a woman, she liked everything beautiful, although she was still clamoring to hunt just now, but when she saw the rabbit so cute, she immediately threw her hunting thoughts out of the clouds.

Holding the rabbit in both hands, the blood on the rabbit's legs flowed down, staining the white fingers of the county lord of Huairou red, "Ah! How did you get hurt. The lord of Huairou screamed in surprise, only to find that the rabbit was injured, and wanted to cover the rabbit's wound with his hand.

The rabbit was in pain, kicked its hind legs, and ran forward.

"Bunny, don't run!" The county lord of Huairou was in a hurry, stood up, and chased after the rabbit, but although the rabbit was injured, he was not slow at all, and the county lord of Huairou ran more than a dozen steps, but still did not catch up with the rabbit.

"Little Rabbit, I'll take you back to heal." The county lord of Huairou said again, her white and smooth forehead was full of fine sweat, she sped up, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the rabbit, the county lord of Huairou was overjoyed, and saw that the rabbit seemed to be tired, and lay down in the grass to rest, so she tiptoed close to it.

"Little Rabbit, be good, don't run anymore." The county lord of Huairou whispered and slowly squatted down.

At this moment, an arrow feather shot out and stuck two steps away from the county lord of Huairou.
