PS: Thank you for the encouragement from fkingbitch.

Feng Ang glanced at Yang Xuangan, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth: "I just said that if the Central Plains is in chaos, no matter which way it is, I will not take the initiative to cooperate with him." ”

"The strength of Guy Lingnan is very weak, the Han people are only tens of thousands of households, and the combat effectiveness of the Slang people is far from being comparable with the Han army. If it weren't for the endless war in the Central Plains, neither side would have time to send a large army into Lingnan, but I am afraid that even the ability to protect itself would be insufficient. ”

"So in case the world is really in turmoil one day, and Yue Guogong and General Yang take advantage of the situation to raise troops, Feng Ang is personally willing to come to serve and participate in the grand event. But if I want to raise the soldiers of Lingnan to help the two of them succeed, it is absolutely impossible, if it is not for me Feng Ang who is unwilling to repay the kindness of the whole family of Yue Guogong, I am really powerless. ”

"There is another point, the customs and customs of Lingnan, the climate and environment are very different from the Central Plains, the weather is hot, our slang soldiers do not have the habit of fighting in armor, for hundreds of years, the army of the Han people came to my Lingnan, most of them are extremely unsuitable for the scorching heat there, the Qin Dynasty when the 500,000 army of the first expedition to Lingnan was defeated, and it was also defeated in this water and soil."

"But on the other hand, if my soldiers in Lingnan want to go out of Lingnan to fight for the world, then they will not be used to the cold and abnormal climate of the Central Plains for them.

Yang Su nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Feng Ang looked at Yang Xuangan and continued: "In the history of Lingnan, it has taken the initiative to go out of the Central Plains. It was only three times that something was done. One time was when Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, took advantage of Empress Lu's killing of the Han clan to send troops to southern Hunan. Plundered a little, and quickly shrank back again. ”

"Once in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun Xu Dao, who had wandered to Lingnan, overturned this Heavenly Master Sect, taking advantage of the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, the country was empty, and after careful planning, he unexpectedly sent troops to the north, all the way to Jiankang. However, their main force is also the thieves of the Wu Di Heavenly Master Sect who followed them across the ocean to Guangzhou. is not a native of Lingnan, so although Lu Xu's northward journey this time was almost successful, the momentum was huge, but it did not rely on the locals. ”

"The last time was the dispatch of Chen Baxian, the Taizu of Nanchen, but he was playing the banner of sending troops to the king of Qin and eliminating the traitor Hou Jing, and he also brought Han soldiers instead of the local slang people of Lingnan, and finally was able to attack Jiankang to establish the royal industry, which also relied on the team that grew along the way after leaving Lingnan, and also did not rely on the strength and resources of Lingnan itself."

"Other than that. Those who have always been in rebellion in Lingnan have found it difficult to succeed even if they want to divide one side. Although as long as there is the slightest change in the world, the local barbarian chieftains in Lingnan or the officials of Han prefectures and counties will have evil thoughts. tried in vain to tear the earth and seal the king, but none of them were not exterminated after the Central Plains was stabilized. ”

"My grandmother saw this, so she repeatedly warned me not to fight against the Central Plains Dynasty and try to secede in vain, even if you take advantage of it for a while, sooner or later it will be a big disaster and harm your children and grandchildren."

"Yue Guogong, last time you told the younger generation that the son of heaven is not as good as the princes of a hundred generations, the younger generation thinks so, in fact, although the grandmother did not say this explicitly, the meaning is the same as you, no matter which dynasty is changed, the status of our Feng family and Xian family in Lingnan is unshakable."

"On the contrary, look at Wang Zhongxuan and Chen Fozhi, they are also a wealthy family among the Yue people and Dong people, once the army failed, not only did they die, but even the entire tribe was unlucky, and they ruined the foundation of their ancestors for hundreds of years, which is really a lesson from the past."

"So if it is really as you said that the world is in turmoil, and the heroes and heroes of the Quartet rise up together, and compete for the Central Plains, the younger generations have no power or intention to join this competition, and they can't even kill the officials appointed by the Sui Dynasty and establish themselves as kings, so they can only mobilize the local slang Yue and Han soldiers to defend the army as officials of the Sui Dynasty to ensure the safety of one party, and after the world is settled, they still have to surrender to the final victor."

Yang Xuangan saw that Yang Su nodded again and again when he heard this, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "Then if my Yang Xuangan's troops want to enter Lingnan at that time, or if I, Yang Xuangan, am defeated and want to take refuge in you, what should you do?" ”

Feng Ang laughed, and after laughing, he looked directly into Yang Xuangan's eyes, his gaze was calm and firm: "If the world is not timely, General Yang's troops want to enter Lingnan, please step over my Feng An's corpse." General, please understand that Feng Ang is not fighting for me personally, but for protecting my people, my children and grandchildren. ”

"As for if the world is decided, if General Yang becomes the true son of heaven at that time, then there is no need for General Yang to send troops, Feng Ang himself will take the initiative to enter the court and offer the land of the twenty-four states of Lingnan."

"If General Yang's ambition is not rewarded, he is defeated halfway, and he comes to surrender alone, Feng Ang can protect it in his own name, but if the imperial court pursues him closely, if he has to get General Yang and then quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect General Yang."

Yang Xuangan laughed: "When the time comes, do you still have to hand over Yang as evidence of loyalty to the new master?" ”

Feng Ang shook his head, and a smile flashed on his dark face: "No, Feng doesn't learn Han Xin, betrays friends to seek glory, even if he can't protect the general, he won't hand you over, and then Feng will arrange for the general to sail in the South China Sea, or go south to Linyi, and leave the Central Plains, a place of right and wrong." ”

Feng Ang said and smiled at Yang Su: "Duke Yue, the arrangement of General Liu's expedition to Linyi that you mentioned to me last time was based on this consideration. ”

Yang Su stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Yang Xuangan quickly reviewed the history of the Linyi Kingdom in his mind, and suddenly felt strange: why did the barbarian country, which even the powerful Han Dynasty and the previous Southern Dynasties had not conquered, suddenly send troops to conscript? He looked at Yang Su, his eyes full of doubt.

Yang Su seemed to see his son's thoughts, and laughed: "Xuan Gan, didn't you hear Feng An's words?" If you are really defeated and flee to Lingnan, Feng Ang can protect you for a while but not for a lifetime, and then he will send you to the sea for refuge, and this place of refuge is probably Linyi Kingdom. ”

Yang Xuan was silent after hearing this, and said after a while: "After all, Lin Yi is thousands of miles away from my dynasty, and the customs and customs are different. If it really fails to compete in the Central Plains. If you need to keep your family out of trouble. Why not go to Goguryeo or the Turks to the north? ”

Yang Su shook his head: "These two countries both border with our dynasty, and they are the henchmen of our dynasty, and their strength is not as good as my Great Sui, if the future Central Plains Dynasty sends someone to forcibly ask for you, they are likely to hand you over." ”

"Xuangan, I don't know if you remember, when this dynasty was ten years old, the princess of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty married the Shabalu Khan of the Eastern Turks at that time. However, Princess Qianjin's family was killed by the emperor when the Great Sui was established, so although she was later forced to receive the name of the emperor's righteous princess, she held a grudge and always wanted to instigate the Turkic Khan to attack our dynasty. ”

"This year, there was a rebel general Wei Chi Qin who fled to the Turks, and lied to the princess of Dayi that the internal instability of the Great Sui was unstable and that someone was in turmoil, so the princess of Dayi has been instigating the newly enthroned Dulan Khan to invade our dynasty, and after the news was learned by Changsun Sheng, he reported to the court and sent a special envoy to the Turks. killed Princess Dayi and Yu Chiqin, you haven't forgotten it. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded. This kind of momentum of being a strong man will be punished even if he is far away, which shocked him very much when he was young, not to mention that he is now older and sensible.

Yang Su nodded and continued: "So whether it is Turkic or Goguryeo, it is impossible to truly defend you as a rebel general of the Great Sui, if you fail to raise an army, neither the Great Sui nor the newly established dynasty will continue to tolerate people like you staying in such a neighboring enemy country." ”

"If the Turks or Goguryeo are strong, you will be nothing more than a pawn in their attack on the Central Plains, and you yourself will always be infamous as a traitor, just like Gao Baoning of the Northern Qi Dynasty, or Li Guangli, the general of the second division of the Han Dynasty, who was just ruined."

"If their strength is not as good as that of the Central Plains Dynasty, for these untrustworthy barbarians, you can only end up being handed over to curry favor with the new Central Plains regime. So if you want to flee and leave a way back for your family, don't go north, you can only go south. ”

"That Linyi country is thousands of miles away from my dynasty, it is impossible to destroy them by relying on the strength of Jiaozhou alone, and the transfer of troops from the Central Plains is an expedition of laborers, the distance is too far, since the end of the Qin Dynasty to conquer Nanyue, except for the Eastern Han Dynasty general Ma Yuan, the Central Plains Dynasty has not once taken the initiative to send troops to such a far place, Ma Yuan stood in the current Linyi National Mirror The two bronze pillars are the southernmost territory of the Han Central Plains Dynasty."

"So such a place is safe, if you leave Lingnan and drift into the sea, then even if someone wants to track down your whereabouts at that time, there is no way to ask, and in this way, you can also keep Feng An's safety, which is the best choice."

Yang Xuangan nodded after listening: "So my father sent his cronies to lead the army south to conquer Linyi, so as to find a place to avoid trouble for the family in the future?" ”

Feng Ang smiled: "General Yang is really smart, and he can understand it at all. Yes, the Duke of Yue Guo has already contacted me a few years ago, asking me to send reliable people to accompany the army to interpret in the Southern Expeditionary Army, we have always had caravans in Luozhou, Lingnan, which trade with the Linyi Kingdom through the Guò sea route, and there are also several loyal and reliable caravan leaders in our clan who trade with the Linyi Kingdom all the year round and can understand their language. ”

"So when General Liu's army set off, my people had already contacted the envoy of Yue Guogong and set out to Linyi together."

Yang Xuan sighed "oh", and finally understood in his heart that his father had already begun to plan this back road two years ago, and this Feng Ang should have completely showdown with his father in the secret conversation two years ago, establishing this relationship of mutual trust and cooperation.

Yang Su smiled slightly, stroked his long hair, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not too easy to find an excuse to send troops to Linyi, if the emperor is the director of the court, he may not approve this operation." ”

"But the prince is greedy and likes rare treasures, so the old man told the prince that there are many rare and exotic objects in this Linyi country, which are invaluable, and he also asked Feng Xian's nephew to find a few treasures from Linyi from Lingnan, including a huge coral tree, tortoiseshell armor, fire jade, and the like."

"At that time, the prince's eyes lit up, and the old man took the opportunity to say that this Linyi country has not come to pay tribute for more than ten years, and from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasty, as long as the Central Plains is declining, they will continue to invade Jiaozhou, and I will build a new dynasty, if I don't take the opportunity to teach them a lesson, I am afraid that in the future, I will take advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains to give birth to a heart of disobedience."

"You all know that the prince wants to do something in the future, whether it is to build a large number of civil projects at home or to raise troops to conquer abroad, it is necessary to greatly requisition the people, and he does not want to leave himself a security hazard in the south."

So the prince immediately granted the old man's request. Last year, Li Fozi, a slang man in Jiaozhou, rebelled. General Liu Fang has just led the army to pacify it. Just use this victorious army to continue to conquer Linyi, and there is no need to remobilize the army. ”

Yang Xuangan's heart moved, and asked, "Is this Liu Fang his own person?" The emperor also approved this mention? ”

Yang Su nodded: "Liu Fang is a native of Chang'an, the history of Guazhou Thorn, has always been brave and good at fighting, he has already become a general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he followed Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, out of the fortress in the third year of the emperor's reign, and broke the Turks. Later, he has been serving as the assassin of Guazhou and Ganzhou, and the brave Dunhuang lord that Shi Wansui followed was him. ”

Yang Xuangan heard this, and exhaled softly, "Ah".

Yang Su continued: "It's a pity that this person has been guarding the border for many years, and has nothing to do with the court, and he has a lot of talents, and the hero is useless. Let him lead the army into battle. ”

"Only in this way will this person be grateful to me. It won't stop me from secretly sending people to find a way back in Linyi Country. And now both the crown prince and the emperor are on guard against me, this time Liu Fang sent troops, and they also sent Li Gang, the Shangshu Youcheng who has always been against me, as the marching Sima to monitor Liu Fang. ”

"And Liu Fang is a professional soldier, and he hates this kind of scholar supervising the army the most, even if I don't say hello, I will find an opportunity to make things difficult for this Li Gang, and I won't let him notice the activities of the people I sent in Linyi."

Feng Ang listened with admiration, his eyes didn't roll, and only after listening to it did he say: "Yue Guogong is really a clever calculation, and the younger generation is really impressed." ”

Yang Su smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, for the generals, think about defeat first and then win, our Yang family is a huge family, we can't help but plan for the future." “

Yang Xuangan took over his father's words, and said to Feng Anzhengse: "Brother Feng, please don't misunderstand, our Yang family doesn't want to rebel and make trouble, just to prepare for emergencies in the future, if the tyrant is in power, he goes against the grain and makes the people of the world miserable, then in order to save the people from fire and water, we can only take this step, it's not that our Yang family is greedy for power and wants to take the position of the Ninety-Five." ”

Feng Ang smiled: "General Yang doesn't need to explain, I have already had a heart-to-heart with the Yue Country Bus two years ago, and your Yang family has been in this pass for generations, no more than our Shiju Luozhou, and you can be far from the emperor." Moreover, since our Feng family came to the Southern Dynasties, the four Southern Dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, plus the Great Sui, have already served the Son of Heaven of the Five Dynasties. ”

"Every time there is a change of dynasty, we will choose to side with the new dynasty, and we will not perish with the old dynasty that has lost the hearts of the people. Because the world is the world of the people of the world, not a certain family, or a person's own private property, if it is for the sake of selfish desires and troubles the world, then no one will support such a king, and there will definitely be heroes and heroes who rise up to overthrow him. ”

Yang Xuan sighed "oh" and smiled: "Then why doesn't Brother Feng be this hero who rises up to overthrow the tyrant?" ”

Feng Ang shook his head: "As I said, if it were just me, I would be able to spill all my blood and spell out a blue sky and white sun, but Feng is not a person, whether it is our Feng family or the Xian family, they have lived in Lingnan for generations and have multiplied there, Feng cannot let the clansmen suffer the disaster of annihilation with his own desires." ”

"Thinking about the Vietnamese conquest and conquest sisters in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were also forced by the officials to rebel against the people and raise the banner of righteousness angrily, in my opinion, their actions were completely just, what was the result? Isn't it the destruction of the country and the extermination of the nation by the Fubo general, who is known as a generation of famous generals? Leave posterity with a sigh. ”

"It's Wang Zhongxuan and Chen Fozhi who rebelled in Lingnan last time, are they just rebellious ministers and thieves who want to establish themselves as kings? They are already tribal leaders, so what can they do if they stand on their own? ”

"My second brother and Chen Fozhi have been friends since childhood, and in my eyes, Chen Fozhi is also a bold and righteous big brother, just because the corrupt officials in Lingnan always oppress the slang and Yue people and disrespect their customs, so the anger that has been accumulated for a long time will always find an opportunity to break out."

"Wang Zhongxuan and Chen Fozhi have no culture and no education, but their people are also oppressed and insulted by the Han people, so they will take the opportunity of changing the dynasty to rebel, you said that both of them came directly to my grandmother and wanted to push her to be the leader, is this what a person who wants to establish himself as a king has to do?"

Yang Xuangan could feel the huge grievances and grievances from Feng An's words, so he nodded and said, "So in fact, you and your grandmother are sympathetic to them, right?" If you have a choice, and you don't want to fight them, your second brother Feng Xuan's thoughts are your real thoughts, right? ”

Feng An's eyes flashed with tears, and his voice became a little choked: "Yes, our Feng family is actually pure Han people, but because I have been in Lingnan for hundreds of years, I have already fused with the local slang Yue people's blood, just like my appearance and dress today, not so much a Han person, but a slang person." ”

"But it is precisely because of this that our Feng family and Xian family can jump away from the simple distinction between Han and Yi and look at these issues fairly, the slang people in Lingnan are more predominant, and the number far exceeds that of Han people, which is an indisputable fact, and at least for a long time, this situation will not change."
