Chapter 86: The Lion Treading Snow

To be honest, there is no direct conflict between Li Yanqing and Zheng Shanyuan.

When he was in Xingyang before, it was impossible for him to provoke Zheng Shanyuan. As for Zheng Shanyuan, he may prefer to treat Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Renji as opponents, Yan Qing is just a milky little fart child in his eyes, and he still disdains to trouble Yan Qing.

But now, Li Yanqing quietly moved his murderous intent.

Anyway, your old man's life is also a death, so it's better to hand over the head as a gift for me.

The crotch is a big Wanliang horse, called chasing the wind. Although it is not as good as the jade hoof of the year, it is also a BMW selected by Ma Sanbao in the Western Regions. Its characteristic is that the short-range sprint speed is extremely fast, so it is named chasing the wind. Seeing the chasing wind rushing down from the red clay slope, the rebel soldiers had not yet stood firm, and Yan Qing had already made a move. Two cold rays flashed, and two streams of blood splattered.

The long lance in Yan Qing's hand is that kind of standard lance, and it is far from being comparable to the earlier heavy lance.

But when he practiced the lance, he used this type of long lance, so it was quite convenient. The lance is mainly sprinted, and a blow must be hit, such as a lion fighting a rabbit. It can be said that Qing uses a lance, but it has three points of strength. Lance into the enemy's body, pull it out with the force of friction and recoil that pierces the body, and stab again. Therefore, the two rebels were left with only a flat blood hole in their chests, and after falling to the ground, they were killed immediately.

To deal with these rebels, Yan Qing has more means.

Almost did not receive any obstacles, and he killed all the way, and saw that he was in front of Zheng Shanyuan.

Zheng Shanyuan also reacted after a moment of distraction.

"My son, save me!"

Poetry is right, Zheng Shanyuan is very good at it. But in the fight field, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang is the first time in his life. So much so that when Yan Qing was about to come to him, he was at a loss. He even forgot to turn around and run away, only shouting loudly for help in the same place.

Zheng Shanyuan's eldest son Zheng Yu and second son Zheng Fang rushed forward without saying a word to fight Li Yanqing.

The third son, Zheng Ai, and the fourth son, Zheng Lan, twisted their guns and stepped forward and stopped Xiong Kuohai and Kan Leng. Xiong Kuohai was killing with Yan Qing, and after being stopped, he was suddenly furious. I saw him roaring on the horse, like the roar of huge thunder, which made Zheng Ai's heart tremble. Stabbed out a shot lightly without half the strength, behind the side of the majestic sea, there were armpuffs to grip the barrel of the gun, the big axe in his hand was hugged back, and with a click, Zheng Ai's head was cut off, blood splattered everywhere, and the ownerless war horse walked away.

This axe originated very early.

Among the five punishments set during the Yellow Emperor's period, the fourth punishment was the axe.

However, the use of this axe was not much in the beginning. In the Shang Dynasty, the axe was the most prosperous, and in the Zhou Dynasty, the axe became a ceremonial weapon and was gradually forgotten. In the Han Dynasty, the barbarians in Nanzhong created the axe method, which was the axe and officially became a sharp weapon when fighting in battle.

The axes used by Xiongkuohai are different from the long-handled axes and crested axes that were most commonly used in the late Sui Dynasty, but are made by Yanqing with reference to the style of plate axes. Its lethality is far ten times stronger than that of the crested axe, and its appearance is fierce and terrifying. In addition, Yu Juluo taught the thirty-six methods of the plate axe, and the majestic sea itself has a hard practice of mixing the yuan ball, and this axe goes down, and the power is terrifying. Zheng Ai is just a rough martial artist, how can he compete with the majestic sea? On the other side, Zheng Lan faced Kan Leng, but Kan Ling took away his weapon and cut off his head with a knife.

These two masters walked on three roads, which was even more terrifying.

The surrounding rebels were already panicking, and seeing the bloody situation flying, they were so frightened that they threw away their weapons, turned around and left.

But before he took two steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind the hillside. Xie Ke led his troops to suddenly appear, and fired his bow left and right on the horse, killing him with arrows. From the other end of the laterite slope, another iron horse came around. All black armor, the leader of the general looks heroic, and has an iron square lance in his palm.

As the name suggests, this lance is shaped into a square prism.

Not only can it be used with ordinary long lance tricks, but it also has many more uses for slashing and sweeping. After the lance is discharged, it will leave a square prismatic wound, and as long as it is injured, it is difficult to stop the bleeding. When Yan Qing first learned about the iron square lance, he even felt that the three-edged military thorn used in later generations was born from the head of this iron square lance. The difference is that the iron square lance has no blood groove.

This person is Xin Shixiong's nephew, Xin Wenli, the general of Hauni Guard.

At this time, Yan Qing followed the initial division of the two instruments and knocked Zheng Yu and Zheng Fang off the horse.

Zheng Shanyuan, under the protection of Zheng Antong, rode a horse together and fled for his life. It's just that these two people ride a horse, and the horse may not be able to withstand it.

Seeing Xin Wenli, Li Yanqing and Xie Ke surrounded him from three sides, Zheng Antong couldn't care about his father, and pushed Zheng Shanyuan off the war horse with his backhand. Zheng Shanyuan has always been pampered, but he didn't think that his most beloved youngest son would push him off the horse at this time.

With a bang, Zheng Shanyuan fell to the ground.

"My son ......"

He called out loudly, Xin Wenli had already arrived in front of him, and the iron lance slapped Zheng Shanyuan's head, hitting Zheng Shanyuan and bursting his brain.

Those wide-eyed eyes were wide open. Maybe Zheng Shanyuan didn't believe that his son would abandon him when he was dying.

"Shameless, where to go!"

Li Yanqing and Xie Yingdeng saw this scene, and they couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, and evil was born to the side of their hearts.

People are shameless, they can't be so shameless. You can run away alone, but you can't push your dad off the horse. This is not about grievances, but the basic truth of being a human being. Yan Qing couldn't help but scold angrily, raised his hand and took off his bow and arrow, and shot three arrows in a row towards Zheng Antong.

At the same time, Xie Ke is also three arrows in a row.

The six sharp arrows all fell on Zheng Antong's body, only to hear him scream and fall off the horse. But one foot was still hanging in the stirrups, and he was dragged away by the war horse, and the sound gradually disappeared. At the same time, the fighting under the red clay slope has also ended.

The majestic sea was covered in blood, and he shook his head vigorously and said: "It's boring, it's boring, it's very boring." ”

This guy felt very uncomfortable, although Kan Ling on the side did not speak, but judging from his expression, he seemed to agree with it.

"Li Gongzi, these anti-thieves ......"

Yan Qing looked at the rebel soldiers who were besieged in one place, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "God has the virtue of a good life, and these guys are also bewitched by Zheng Shanyuan. You and I don't need these merits now, and if they are sent to the army, they will also die...... It's better to let them go. ”

After speaking, Yan Qing looked at Xin Wenli, quite expectant.

Xin Wenli thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Gongzi Li intercedes for them...... Also, we don't need these little credit embellishments, just let them live. ”

His appearance is heroic and resolute, which is quite different from Xin Shixiong's Confucian style.

But after cooperating once, Yanqing knew a lot about him. Xin Wenli is good at using tricks, not a bloodthirsty and murderous person. Don't look at his uprightness, he looks selfless with an iron face. But this heart is good. Li Yanqing and Xin Wenli thanked him at the moment, and ordered Kan Ling and Xiong Kuohai to cooperate with Xie Ke to clean up the mess.

He and Xin Wenli led their troops to Xingyang.

When parting, he told Xie Ke: "After the matter here is over, return to Gong County (20 kilometers away from Gong County) immediately." Let everyone not worry, pay more attention to the movements of Heishi Guan Pei Shuang. Now that reinforcements have arrived, Yang Xuangan is afraid that he will not be able to support it for long. ”

Xie Ke nodded in agreement.

Although in the official position, he is now an upright Xingyang County soldier Cao joined the army, and he is on a par with Xu Shiji.

But he was still willing to obey Yanqing's orders. Goguryeo's half-loaded robe has already made him a habit. Besides, there is no difference between Hui Xingyang and Hui Gong County.

The reason why I say this is because at this moment, Xingyang is already in Fang Xuanling's hands.

******

As early as when Yanqing got Xin Wenli's arrow book, Li Yanqing had a plan in his heart.

He first asked Fang Xuanling to drag Zheng Shanyuan under Xingyang City, and then tried to contact Zheng Shanguo through the eyes and ears of Xingyang County.

Zheng Shanguo was captured by Yang Xuangan, but it does not mean that he will surrender to Yang Xuangan.

Even if his son Zheng Yan took refuge in Yang Xuangan, Zheng Shanguo would not. The reason is very simple, Zheng Shanguo is a person of filial piety, and his vision of things is far longer than those hairy boys. Therefore, Yan Qing gambled that Zheng Shanguo was in Cao Ying, and his heart was in Han, not Yang Xuangan's person. In fact, it also proves that even if Zheng Shanguo died of a son, he did not have much resentment towards the Sui family.

On the contrary, after learning of Yan Qing's plan to recapture Tiger Prison and Xingyang, Zheng Shanguo happily obeyed.

Although he was courteous to Yang Xuan, he had no soldiers and no power. However, he knew that there was one person who would be willing to help, and that was Zheng Shanyuan's henchman, Zheng Shize, the head of the seventh house. From the very beginning, this person followed Zheng Shanyuan. But this person has a very lively vision. As Yang Xuan's war in Luoyang was unfavorable, Zheng Shi slowly repented. At this time, Zheng Shanguo came forward to say something, and Zheng Shi hit it off.

But if Zheng Shanyuan stayed in Xingyang, Zheng Shi would have no way to control the situation.

So Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Shi conspired to deceive Zheng Shanyuan out of Xingyang, and then took advantage of the situation to welcome Fang Xuanling and others and take control of Xingyang County.

At the same time, Yan Qing and others paid close attention to Zheng Shanyuan's actions and robbed and killed them in one fell swoop.

This may seem easy to say, but the courage and wisdom required is impossible to know unless you are there. After Li Yanqing and Xin Wenli joined forces, they quickly rushed to Xingyang County. In the evening, the two had come to the outside of Xingyang City. I saw Fang Xuanling, with the generals and the gentry in the city, out of the city to greet him.

In the past, Yan Qing came to Xingyang as one of them.

At that time, he was just under the fence, and he was not enough to hold on. Now, when Yan Qing came to Xingyang again, he was like a conqueror, and his mood was naturally very different.

"Little Brother Yanqing, you're finally here!"

Fang Xuanling was also extremely excited when he saw Yan Qing, and quickly stepped forward and hugged Yan Qing.

The age of the two is very different. can stand together, Yan Qing's size is already as tall as Fang Xuanling. Xu Shiji then stepped forward and hugged Yan Qing without saying a word. And Su Dingfang stood quietly aside, until Yan Qing came over, he stepped forward to intervene, and said with a deep salute: "The last general, Su Dingfang, see Gongzi...... Childe, this time, we are considered a big victory? ”

Yan Qing laughed and hugged Su Dingfang vigorously, but he didn't say anything.

On the side, Xin Wenli suddenly said to Fang Xuanling: "I have heard the name of Li Gongzi for a long time, and now I know what it means to strategize and win a thousand miles." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded.

In his heart, he thought of another thing: if Yan Qing could be older, even if he was five years older, he would definitely be able to keep his name in the world...... This name is not the other name.

In Fang Xuanling's heart, there is a special meaning.

Next, Cui Shanfu, the son of Cui Zhiren, also stepped forward to greet Yanqing. There were also Xingyang gentry, who came over to say hello. But Zheng Shanguo walked last, and when Yanqing stepped forward, he smiled slightly and said softly: "Li Gongzi, let's meet again, don't come unharmed." ”

When he said this, Zheng Shanguo's heart was full of mixed tastes.

In a big chaos, the Zheng clan will face an unprecedented disaster. Zheng Shan's willingness to take refuge in Yang Xuangan is bound to have a significant impact on the Zheng family.

His son is also dead, where should the Zheng family go in the future?

Regarding Zheng Shanguo's mood at this time, Li Yanqing can feel it more or less.

When he stepped forward to salute, he suddenly said softly: "Good Guogong, there are some things that must be borne by some people. It's not you or me, it's someone else. Now this is probably the best result...... Shanguo Gong doesn't need to worry too much. It's just that there are some things that need to be prepared early. ”

Zheng Shanguo's eyes lit up, and from Yan Qing's words, he seemed to faintly hear something.

But what made him happiest was that he didn't seem to care about Yanqing and Zheng's dirtiness in the past. After all, Li Yanqing took the lead in counterattacking in this turmoil. first blocked the attack of the rebels in Gong County, and then joined forces with Xin Wenli and others to recover Guancheng and Xingyang counties and one pass. Don't underestimate these two counties, the recovery of Xingyang County will greatly benefit the entire Luoyang battle situation.

In other words, after the battle, no one can stop its upward momentum.

If he falls into the well at such a time, then the Xingyang Zheng family will definitely be in danger. What kind of forces are standing behind Li Yanqing? Zheng Shanguo is really unclear now.

I regret it in my heart: Why can't Zheng keep such a talent?

Zheng Shanguo smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Yanqing, this affection, the Zheng family has written it down."

Li Yanqing and others, surrounded by everyone, came to Xingyang County.

As soon as he sat down, Yan Qing suddenly said: "Dare to ask, which one is Zheng Shize, Mr. Zheng?" ”

Zheng Shi followed behind Fang Xuanling, triumphant. Hearing Yan Qing's inquiry, his face suddenly sank...... Yan Qinghui doesn't know him?

At the beginning, he Li Yanqing, but he took away the position of clan elder from him, and he had to kill his brother Zheng Shiji with his own hands.

But now it's different!

When Li Yanqing stepped into Xingyang County again as a conqueror, the status of him and Li Yanqing had undergone earth-shaking changes. Don't look at Yan Qing as a white body, but looking at the situation in the lobby, I'm afraid that even Xin Wenli is looking at him as a horse.

Although Zheng Shi felt uncomfortable, he had to force a smile and stand up.

It was not pleasant, because he had to pay homage to a junior who had been abandoned by them but had not succeeded.

In front of the gentry of the city, this is like a slap in the face.

Zheng Shize arched his hand and said: "Li Gongzi, below is Zheng Shize." ”

"Mr. Zheng's ability to repent can be described as a great achievement. Can the Zheng family have a gentleman, but is it not prosperous?

Fang Sima, if it weren't for Mr. Zheng's presence, I am afraid that the recapture of Xingyang would be empty talk. With such a credit, it is not up to us to call the shots. Now the Yang thief has revealed his defeat, and the siege of Luoyang has been lifted. Now the county guard is not there, when Fang Sima wrote a letter and sent Mr. Zheng to Luoyang. ”

Yan Qing's words made many people stunned.

Zheng Shanguo listened to it in the hall, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, and after a while, he suddenly looked at Yan Qing, revealing a grateful look.

Xingyang stayed behind and died, and the successor is unknown. Therefore, with the order of Guancheng County, Fang Xuanling of Sima of Xingyang County became the highest local governor. In terms of rank, Xin Wenli's Hongni Pass guard, Guo Yi is still half a rank higher than the county Sima. But he was subordinate to the military government and had no right to meddle in local affairs. seems to be this kind of thing, and it really needs Fang Xuanling to do it for you. Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed.

Zheng Shi was a little dazed!

Going to the Eastern Capital? Luoyang ......

That is, he is going to develop?

An irrepressible feeling of ecstasy welled up in my heart.

Zheng Shi thanked him again and again, and only retreated into the distance under the persuasion of Yan Qing with a smile.

Although Xingyang was withdrawn, the war did not end there. As soon as Yang Xuangan said that he was undefeated, the defense of Xingyang County must not be relaxed.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Yang Xuangan retreated to Huangtianyuan and fought a tragic decisive battle with Qu Tutong, Yuwenshu, Laihu'er, and Wei Wensheng, four generals gathered in one place, and more than 200,000 Sui troops. The final result of the battle, Yang Xuangan was defeated by the four generals together.

More than 100,000 rebels scattered, and Yang Xuangan took his own soldiers to protect him, and his brother Yang Jishan fought his way out of the encirclement.

The generals under his command, Li Mi, Wei Fusi and others were captured, Han Shi'e died in the battle of Huang Tianyuan, and Pei Shuang, the general of the Black Stone Pass, surrendered to the pass.

When the good news came, everyone, including Yanqing, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xin Wenli immediately returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Xu Shiji and Cui Shanfu returned to Guancheng. Fang Xuanling sat in Xingyang County, and Li Yanqing led Su Lie and Su Dingfang to bid farewell to Fang Xuanling and rushed back to Gong County in the starry night. Because after the end of this war, Gong County still has many things to deal with.

What's more, Yan Qing is also burdened with an edict that lives in Gongxian County and thinks about it behind closed doors.

In times of war, he could ignore this edict. But when the war ended, he had to return to Gongxian. Even if everyone knows that he has left Gong County, he still has to do enough work in this face. Yang Guang is not an ordinary person, he loves face to the extreme. If he knew that Yanqing ignored his edict, even if he didn't embarrass Yanqing, the emperor's heart would be uncomfortable.

If anyone makes the Emperor uncomfortable, that means he will be unlucky!

Yan Qing didn't want to touch the emperor's mold after his bloody battle. Therefore, on the third day after the end of the Battle of Huangtianyuan, Yanqing returned to Gong County.

Gong County, everything is as usual.

At least from the outside, it was very calm, and it was not clear that there had been a terrible battle here more than a month ago.

It's just that in the back garden of his home, Yan Qing unexpectedly saw a majestic war horse.

The horse was nine feet tall and had a long mane that dragged the ground. Slender neck, several and body, head held high like a phoenix, long hissing like a dragon's groan. There are two distances between the tibial joints of the hind feet, like satin hairs, if they are also hidden with scale armor. It stood quietly outside the gazebo, with a pair of misty eyes, hiding grievances.

The four hooves step on the snow, which is particularly eye-catching.

Yan Qing recognized at a glance that this horse turned out to be the snow-stepping lion under Yang Xuangan's crotch.

He stepped forward and stroked the lion's head and couldn't help asking, "Where did this horse come from?" ”

Shen Guang stepped forward and said: "Yesterday, when I was patrolling, I met a person on the road, and I didn't say anything. only said that he was ordered to give this horse to his son. ”

"What about that person?"

"After giving away the horse, he left."

Shen Guang suddenly lowered his voice, "Childe, this horse seems to be ......"

Yan Qing didn't let Shen Guang say it, nodded and stopped him from going on.

"What does he mean by that?"

Li Yanqing grabbed the slender horse's neck and put his face on the face of the snow-stepping lion. In my mind, the description of a mad man came to mind.

Close your eyes and sigh softly in your heart: You are not the one who fights for the sky after all!

*****

On the tenth day of August in the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuangan defeated Emperor Tianyuan.

Because he didn't want to be humiliated by Yang Guang, he killed himself. Yang Jishan accompanied him, but he also wanted to commit suicide, he didn't want to be stopped by the pursuing soldiers, and after a hard battle, he was captured!

Subsequently, Yang Jishan was sent to Gaoyang and died by a thousand cuts.

Yang Xuangan's body was torn apart by a car on the streets of Luoyang, and the rest of Wei Fusi, Pei Shuang and others were all killed by Yang Guang. However, Yang Xuan felt that Li Mi, the mastermind, escaped on the way to escort Gao Yang. After Emperor Yang of Sui was angry and killed Li Mimanmen, he issued a wanted warrant to the whole world.
