Lu Fei's desire to let Zhang Jiang also command the Tiger Ben Army was deliberate, the iron hammer was rude, he didn't know a single big character, he was a master who pointed to one finger and worshipped, he could be called a fierce general, but he was not suitable for a general; Luo Cheng is a talent, literate and hyphenated, and he used to have it in the pro-soldier capital. Cao Keming, to be honest, he used to follow his uncle Jiuzhen at the border pass, and he had a lot of military experience and was loyal to Lu Fei, but it was precisely because he had been in the limelight and had a lot of ambitions, and after a long time, Lu Fei didn't know if he could completely control him, at least this tiger army was in his hands, and Lu Fei was not at ease; Kou Zhun, too smart people can never be reused, this is a bumpy truth for thousands of years, especially his talent is far above Lu Fei, to use him, but always have to guard against him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Choose and choose, and the only Zhang Jiang can be of great use.

Lu Fei stared at Zhang Jiang's somewhat unusually happy face and said, "Why don't you speak?" The Tiger Ben Army will be handed over to you to sort out in the future, do you dare to accept this military order? ”

Zhang Jiang was extremely happy in his heart, no matter whether he could receive this military position or not, Lu Feineng himself might be the first person to be inquired about, and this trust was better than all the honors.

"Big brother, this, this...... Are you really asking me to pick up this errand? "Zhang Jiang is overjoyed.

Lu Fei snorted: "It doesn't matter if you are incapable, but you must have self-confidence, no one is born handsome, but self-confidence is a prerequisite for success, you say, do you dare to accept this order?" ”

Zhangjiang's current errand is the garrison of the capital, although the responsibility is heavy, but in the final analysis, it is also according to the previous mature system in the step-by-step act, the city defense fortifications, ordnance deployment, etc., all have the palace front division, the city patrol soldiers and horses and the military department to assist, although the responsibility is great, but everything has examples to follow.

But to lead an army of tens of thousands of horses that is not subordinate to the front of the palace, this is the ability to stand alone, and the military order is like a mountain, and there is no room for sloppiness under the military order, that is, if you make a mistake, you can't even find someone who shirks and shares the responsibility.

Zhang Jiang squeezed out a bitter gourd face, happy and worried, and muttered: "Big brother said so, how dare I say that I can't do it well, everything but with all my might, I hope to live up to my big brother's expectations." ”

Lu Fei didn't expect him to say this, and nodded with satisfaction for a while: "Well, it's enough to have this, this matter is so decided, before the Tiger Ben Army is formed, you have to work together with Cao Keming to do your best for the garrison of the capital, there can be no slackness, the brothers are all risking the risk of being killed all over the house to get everything today, there can be no difference, you understand." ”

"Brother understands, there is no need for the eldest brother to say more, but, eldest brother, since you look up to your brother so much, when I take over the tiger army in the future, can you give me a person, with him, I will definitely be able to create a tiger and wolf army for the eldest brother."

Lu Fei said: "Who do you want?" ”

"Hehe, hold the Japanese army's master book, Kou Zhun, Mr. Kou."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "It is said that you are honest and dare to love this is all superficial, it turns out that there are a lot of flowers and intestines, and I don't want Kou Zhunmen, I will keep him for my own use in the future, to tell you, even if there is no Kou Zhun to help you, you have to bring me a wolf-like Tang Tiger Army, listen, there is no joke in the army, and there is no room for negotiation after receiving the military order." ”

"No! If you lose the big brother, you will take my black head! ”

**

Yanmen Pass, since ancient times is the Central Plains Dynasty to resist the invasion of the northern barbarians important military town, thousands of years of countless soldiers here bones are gone, but also achieved one after another heroic name, far from it, just a few years ago the Yang family father and son is here to be famous in the world, the Central Plains people admire, so that the Liao people are afraid, only the Yang family army of 8,000 people dare to confront the Liao army ten times their own by risk, more than ten years, no matter how the Central Plains Dynasty changed the dynasty, the Yang family has never declined, has been in Yanmen Pass to guard the frontier, Won the hearts of the people and the army.

Now, the old Linggong of the Yang family has been ancient, and his eldest son Yang Yanzhao is guarding here on behalf of his father, and his younger brother Yang Yansi is the deputy general Xiezhi, both of whom are subordinate to the account of Fu Zhaoshou, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and are also the elite division of the Hedong Zhulu soldiers, and are deeply respected by the Fu family.

The ancient and dilapidated Yanmen Pass city wall, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, from a distance, it seems to be very simple and vicissitudes, countless embroidered with 'Song' and ' The military flag of the word "Yang" fluttered in the wind on the city wall, making a burst of heroic sounds, and a group of energetic soldiers stood tall at the battlements with their heads held high and held their guns upright, looking at the endless undulating mountains and meadows in front of them, and from time to time there would be a few herdsmen dressed as aliens in the sight of everyone, these people seemed to have become accustomed to the tension here, no matter when the war would start again, life would go on.

The war is a hardship for the people of the north and the south, the Song army guarding the border pass has never been difficult for these foreign civilians who have also been devastated by the war, but they are never allowed to approach the city wall within a hundred zhang, Yanmen Pass is a border town, there is no open field, and there has never been a caravan passing by here, all the military supplies in the city pass are transported from the mainland, that is, from Jinyang (Taiyuan) more than 300 miles away, along the defense line of Yanmen Pass there are dozens of military forts of all sizes, Together with tens of thousands of Song troops, they guarded the frontier of the Central Plains day and night.

The last remnant of the sun gradually disappeared in the distant mountains, the autumn wind was whining, and the coolness was gusting, blowing the iron armor of the soldiers on the city wall suddenly chilled, and in September, the temperature in the north was already very cold.

Yang Yanzhao stood alone on the top of the city, overlooking the land that their Yang people have guarded for generations, since their Yang family was stationed here, they have never let the Liao people enter the Central Plains, here, the Yang family is synonymous with safety, as long as the Yang family soldiers are still there, the people at the border are not afraid, but today Yang Yanzhao, the iron-clad general, is afraid, he is not afraid of the Liao people's offenses, let alone afraid that the court will not divide rewards and punishments, he likes this land, and likes everything in the army.

A few days ago, Yang Yanzhao received the holy decree from Bianliang like all the military towns and county capitals in the border passes, but this holy decree was not from the Great Song Dynasty, but the Zhao Decree of the Tang Dynasty that came out of nowhere, with the edict of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yanzhao was at a loss, because the Great Song Dynasty died, and the Great Song Dynasty, which their Yang family father and son had sworn allegiance to, was gone, and was replaced by a dynasty that even the emperor was waiting for, Yang Yanzhao could not be at ease, and heard the angel who came to send the edict say that most of the states and provinces along the way respected the edict of the new dynasty, In just over a month, the new dynasty has already pocketed most of the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Everyone can descend, but Yang Yanzhao has to think more, because the Yang family is a subordinate of the Northern Han Dynasty, first to the Zhou, and then to the Song Dynasty, the Yang family's reputation among the scholars is already a repeated generation, and now it is rare to return to the Tang Dynasty? What kind of face does the Yang family have to show the world, but under this general trend, what ability does the Yang family dare to oppose the imperial court.

Creak......

The edict of Zhao'an Yanmen Pass was pinched and 'squeaked' in Yang Yanzhao's hands, and a face that had been weathered by the wind and frost of the north was full of worry.

Pedal Pedal Ped

A rush of footsteps came from the steps of the city, Yang Yanzhao slowly looked sideways, and saw a man in military uniform running towards him quickly, a suit of armor tinkling.

The person who came was none other than his second brother Yang Yansi.

Yang Yanzhao hurriedly took three steps and two steps to greet him, and said hurriedly: "Second brother, you are finally back, how is the news from Jinyang?" ”

All the way, Yang Yansi looked older than his eldest brother when he was less than thirty years old, and he didn't even have time to take care of his hair in a hurry, so he came to his eldest brother to discuss.

Yang Yansi is burly and speaks in a loud voice, hearing his eldest brother ask, the face that was not very kind immediately became gritted teeth, and snorted: "Don't mention it, a bunch of spineless things, as soon as the edict of the puppet dynasty (Tang Dynasty) arrives, Fenzhou, Longde Mansion, Xingzhou, Xiangzhou, and even Zhending Mansion immediately wrote to the new dynasty to ask for submission, and I was so angry that Song Tianzi regarded them as a group of pillars of the court in the past, but I didn't expect it to be a group of repeated villains, hateful, and killable!" ”

Yang Yanzhao has been in charge of the army for a long time, and his mind can see farther than his brother, and the local state capital is not necessarily willing to return to the Bianliang New Dynasty, but they are not capable of fighting against the imperial court, the Central Plains Dynasty has changed over the years, and many ordinary people may not even understand the surname of the emperor of the previous dynasty.

"What's important, what is the opinion of Jinyang Fu Dashuai?" The defense of Yanmen Pass is subordinate to Fu Zhaoshou, not only this, but the entire Hedong Prefecture soldiers and horses are under the jurisdiction of Fu Yanshou, if someone dares to say no to the new dynasty, then there must be this kind of person to raise his arms and shout, Yang Yanzhao also has his own plans, it is not a glorious thing to rebel against the Song Dynasty and surrender to the Tang Dynasty again, and it is not his turn to say 'no' to the new dynasty if he does not surrender the Yang family's family and his own strength.

Yang Yansi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Bianliang, and said angrily: "Fu Dashuai said, the puppet dynasty used the courtiers to rebel, and the name is not justified, it is a thing that everyone in the world despises, and now he is still in charge of a woman (Zhou Wei), which is ridiculed by the world, but Fu Dashuai said again, the four main forces of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army have successively returned to the new dynasty, as a local festival envoy, he Fu Zhaoshou also can't twist his arms and thighs, and he still has to bow his head when he should bow his head." ”

"So Fu Dashuai is determined to surrender to Tang?" Yang Yanzhao looked anxious.

Yang Yansi said hatefully: "This Fu Dashuai didn't say it explicitly, just said that he had already made a statement to Bianliang, as for what he said, I don't know, but from my observation in Jinyang City, one step is as usual, there is no sign of mobilization of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and I don't want to move troops with the puppet dynasty." ”

Hum! Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but let out a few disdainful sneers when he heard this, and muttered to himself: "If you don't do it, you're going to descend the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Then, what should our Yang family do? If you betray the Lord three times, you will be ridiculed by the world. Yang Yansi was full of blood and steel, and his fists were clenched.

Hehe! Yang Yanzhao slowly raised his head and looked at the military flag of the Great Song Dynasty planted on the battlements, he didn't know what to do, and fell into contemplation for a while.

"Second brother, have you ever asked for military rations?" After a long time, Yang Yanzhao suddenly asked.

Yang Yansi was stunned for a moment, and said with a sigh: "No, Fu Dashuai said, the decree of the new dynasty is not yet clear, and it is still unknown who the Yanmen Pass belongs to, and everything will be said when the new edict arrives." ”

"What?" Yang Yanzhao's eyes widened, and he said with a blue face: "I understand, I understand, hehe, shameless villain, since you don't care about the safety of the border town." ”

Yang Yansi said incomprehensibly: "What does the eldest brother mean by this?" ”

Hum!

Yang Yanzhao snorted and laughed: "Fu Dashuai and the new dynasty secretly fornicated, but he was afraid of losing his original status and power, I can guess what he Fu Dashuai wants to do now." ”

"What does he want to do?" Yang Yansi wondered.

"He cut off the grain and grass of my Yanmen Pass, and at the same time he also knew that my Yang family had made a heavy oath in front of Song Tianzi and would never rebel against each other, and Fu Dashuai knew that I would not easily surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so he wanted to force me to use the Yanmen Town as a bargaining chip to blackmail the new dynasty, hum, no matter which court it is, Yanmen Pass cannot fall into the hands of the Liao."

Yang Yansi frowned and said, "Big brother means that Fu Dashuai has the heart to oppose Tang?" ”

"He? He has no such intentions, he just wants to keep everything in his Fu family, as for whether the surname Zhao or the surname Li is in this world, what does he do. ”

"But ......" Yang Yansi was confused, and said: "Even if we erect an anti-Tang banner at Yanmen Pass, what good will it do to him Fu Dashuai?" We are all his subordinates, he should be more or less implicated, how can it be good? ”

Yang Yanzhao said: "Didn't you say it just now, the new dynasty was established, and the subordination of the military towns in the border passes was not clear, no matter what choice we made, it had nothing to do with his Fu family, but because of our previous relationship with Fu Dashuai, the new dynasty was not sure what the relationship between our Yang family and Fu Dashuai was, and Fu Dashuai could descend to the Tang Dynasty when he entered, and he could use Yanmen Pass as a bargaining chip to be the enemy of the new dynasty, anyway, no matter what, you and my brother are meat on someone else's chopping block, and we are in a dilemma." ”

"Who said that!" Yang Yansi had an awe-inspiring expression, and said in a straight voice: "If you want to say that at this time, it is you and my brother who are in and out, who dares not to give Lao Tzu a good face, Lao Tzu is a big deal, as soon as the door is opened, let the Liao people enter the customs ......"

"Bastard!" Yang Yanzhao immediately interrupted the second brother's words and shouted: "Yang Jianing would rather die for such a traitorous act, you must not have such thoughts." ”

Yang Yansi snorted and said: "It's just a momentary anger, my father and eldest brother and I have been fighting against Liao in Yanmen for more than ten years, even if I die, I won't let the Liao people cross Yanmen one step, eldest brother, brother has three strategies, you can listen to it." ”

"Tell me!"

Yang Yansi walked back and forth in front of his eldest brother, with a contemplative expression, and said for a long time: "First, our Yang family's family members are all in Bianliang, if you don't surrender, I'm afraid that the Yang family will be cut off in the hands of you and my brother, so it's better to report directly to the court, and we will accept the reward from the court; Second, immediately contact the border generals who are interested in opposing the Tang Dynasty, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the puppet dynasty and the undecided hearts of the people to kill back to Bianliang, and welcome the descendants of the Zhao family as the new monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yang Yanzhao listened silently, and interjected: "Why don't you say the third?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Yansi smiled evilly, raised his eyes and looked around, and then came to the eldest brother's side, and whispered: "Third, our Yang family is also considered to be deeply prosperous, and the border pass of Bingma Jiuzhen is a hundred battles of elite soldiers, if there is really no way out, big brother, the years and months when the heroes have divided the world are not far away, ah!" ”

"What do you mean?" When Yang Yanzhao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he muttered: "Neither revert to the Song Dynasty nor descend to the Tang Dynasty, do you want me to stand on my own feet according to Yanmen?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Yansi said with a smile: "Today, cats and dogs dare to call themselves true sons, and our Yang family has also sent people under the fence for decades, so it's time to raise your eyebrows and breathe a sigh of relief." ”

The second brother's words touched Yang Yanzhao's heart, now that the Great Song Dynasty is dead, even if he has the intention of supporting the sun, but there is no object of allegiance, this cannot be regarded as his betrayal of the old master, but if it is really as the second brother said to divide one side, it seems that he has some thoughts.

Seeing that the eldest brother fell into deep thought, Yang Yansi said, "What does the eldest brother mean? ”

"It's hard to choose for a while, let's take a look first, pass on my military order, all military forts will enter a state of combat readiness from today, no one is allowed to leave their posts without my military order, and in addition, add checkpoints at various intersections leading to the Central Plains, and I will cut off all the news of Yanmen Pass and Bianliang."

Hearing this, Yang Yansi was overjoyed, although the eldest brother did not make it clear, but these two military orders seemed to have a tendency to divide one side.

"No, everything is up to the eldest brother."

After a pause, Yang Yanzhao said again: "You immediately arrange for someone to sneak back to Bianliang secretly, first, to find out the movements in the capital, and second, to see if it is possible to bring our Yang family's family here." ”

"Okay, big brother, do you want to send someone to recruit troops around?"

"Don't mess around, the movement is too big, we can't even stop Fu Zhaoshou in this corner of Yanmen Pass, it's still the same sentence, do what I say first, and then see!"

"Okay! I'll arrange it. ”
