After Liu Erhu said this, his expression was calm, and he stood motionless.

Although Yang Xuangan was so angry that he couldn't wait to beat this person on the spot, he knew that what he said was indeed reasonable, especially the lethality of the last part was too great.

At that time, Yang Su fought for his father, angered Long Yan, and was ordered to be killed by Emperor Wu of Zhou, but before his execution, he said "I do things for the faint king of no way, and death should be", but instead took Emperor Wu of Zhou, if he really killed Yang Su, Emperor Wu of Zhou would become a faint monarch without a way, and finally had no choice but to release him and posthumously present his father as a general.

This allusion has become known to everyone as Yang Su's power has become overwhelming. Unexpectedly, today Liu Erhu can actually come up with this allusion to fight back against Yang Su himself, which is really beyond everyone's expectations, but the effect is surprisingly good.

When Yang Su heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Good, good, good, good scheming, good city, good teeth, good teeth, and there are no weak soldiers under strong generals." General Yang, this subordinate of yours has really greatly increased the prestige of your Shuozhou army. ”

Yang Yichen's face was almost the same as Liu Erhu, as if he had been washed with water, he barely squeezed out a smile, and bowed his hand and said: "Marshal, they are all the last generals who are not strictly controlled, and they will definitely punish this Liu Erhu severely after they go back, and please spare him this time." ”

Yang Su waved his hand and said, "General Yang, you misunderstood what I meant, this person has the ability to respond to emergencies on the battlefield, and his eloquence is really good. He was right, in the end today, the rebels surrendered, at least half of which was due to him showing Zhao Zikai's first-level merit, plus the commander did not issue a military order prohibiting beheading in advance, so he did so without merit. The commander cannot violate the military system based on personal preferences. ”

Yang Su turned his head to Shi Shi, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Commander Shi listens to orders." The team is Liu Erhu. The person who made the forced landing of the enemy army was meritorious, and he was listed as the person who made the first contribution to the battle, and he played the emperor and asked for a reward. ”

A hint of smugness flashed on Liu Erhu's face, and he glanced at Yang Yichen, but was glared at fiercely by Yang Yichen, and lowered his head again.

Yang Su turned to Yang Yichen with a smile and said, "General Yang." There are no weak soldiers under strong generals. Isn't it a bit too condescending for this captain of your personal guard that has obviously been promoted to the rank of inspector, but you have been sent to the surprise attack unit as a team leader? ”

This Liu Erhu is Liu Wuzhou, the right-hand intelligence officer under Yang Yichen, Wang Shichong suddenly remembered why he looked familiar with this person, because when Yang Sizhang died in battle, the personal guard who escorted Yang Yichen's escape was this person, but since then, Yang Yichen has often assigned this person to complete some reconnaissance and intelligence transmission work, and rarely stays by his side, so Wang Shichong and this person only have a hurried relationship, and I didn't think about it when I first met him just now.

Yang Yichen didn't know that Yang Su even inquired about Liu Wuzhou's identity. I was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile: "This inspector of the Second Tiger is the last to seal himself." It has not been approved by the imperial court, so it cannot be counted! Since the last general has been transferred to serve under the commander's account, he still has to let Erhu return to his original military position. ”

Yang Su waved his hand and said with a smile: "With his talent, being a captain is also a bit condescending, I heard that General Yang, your brother, the former Shuozhou chariot general Yang Sizhang, died heroically in the battle against the rebels in Daizhou, this chariot general's position has been vacant, Ben Shuai might as well let this person take over Yang Sizhang's position as the chariot general, how?" ”

When Yang Yichen heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "No, the second tiger confronted the handsome man in person, and it is already very lenient not to punish him, how can he be promoted like this." Sizhang's position as a chariot and cavalry general was obtained through many years of fighting against the Turks and Goguryeo, and he has never ascended to the sky in such a step. ”

Yang Su shook his head: "This time it is a counterinsurgency, today Team Liu is forcing the landing of tens of thousands of enemy troops at once, this credit is much greater than fighting with foreign clans and killing dozens or hundreds of people." General Yang doesn't need to excuse himself, the commander will definitely show his merit to the emperor, and it is not difficult to ask for this reward. ”

Yang Su suddenly turned to the marching commander Shi who was struggling to write on the side, and said, "By the way, don't make a mistake in the name of Liu Teamzheng, people are called Liu Wuzhou." ”

At night, on the high cliff at the mouth of the Huozhou Gorge, on the bare rocks, Wang Shichong was dressed in armor, sitting cross-legged, and the pine torches behind him were shaken by the mountain wind of this summer night, and at the valley mouth under the mountain, the victorious Sui soldiers were arrogantly letting the captives who were only wearing single clothes dig pits and bury the dead bodies, beating and scolding, the screams of whips on the captives, and the cries of those captives resounded in the sky, and in the camp in the valley, The singing and smug laughter of the officers and soldiers contrasted sharply.

Wang Shichong sighed and muttered: "Yang Liang, Wang Cheng's ambition, with the defeat of this battle, completely went with the wind, fortunately this time the point is up, and he did not follow Yang Liang to toss blindly, otherwise it is estimated that it is not as good as these soldiers, but I am afraid that there is no place to bury it." ”

Wei Zheng's voice sounded coldly: "Lord, if you want to seek great things, you must be cold and hard-hearted, either to achieve the emperor's cause, or to die without a corpse, what about what happens after him?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, and turned to Wei Zheng, who was sitting next to him and changed into an ordinary personal soldier costume. This leather armor is a bit big, which doesn't quite fit his thin figure: "Xuancheng, how did you pretend to be a fat man when you were in Shuozhou?" If you have this ability, why don't you make your body bigger, so that this dress doesn't look so ill-fitting. ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "These are the secret methods in the Taoism I learned, luck can change the shape of the body, plus a little beard on the face, make a mask with pigskin on the outside, and yellow mud on the inside, you can be disguised, but the taste is really uncomfortable, if you have to pass or abscond, I don't want to make this trick, height can be added to the shoe, and it also affects walking, so I will change back to my original appearance after escaping from prison." ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile and glanced back at the forest behind him, far away outside the forest, Zhang Jincheng and others scattered outside the forest with dozens of cronies to ensure that no one eavesdropped. Where you can't get to the ground.

"Hyun Sung. This time you go to the Turks. Have you met Prince Dubi? What is his attitude now? ”

Wei Zheng Zhengse said: "Dubi has already assembled the troops and horses of the headquarters, originally I corrected Yang Liang's edict to ask him for help, if Qiao Zhongkui and Pei Wen'an can fight for some strength and break Daizhou, you can go south with the Turkic coalition army, lord, this time you have been in the army." Why don't you secretly help Pei Wenan? If there is no foreign aid, Yang Liang will definitely lose quickly, so that the world chaos we originally planned would not be realized. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "This time the Daxing Palace Change, you are in Bingzhou, I don't know what is powerful, Yang Su and his son were lucky at the most critical time, stood on Yang Guang's side, killed the first emperor, and also prevented us from taking advantage of the chaos in Daxing City." Yang Xuangan personally guarded the East Palace, and I couldn't storm it. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "Lord." I remember that at that time, there were already tens of thousands of horses under your command, and even He Ruobi was on our side, and Changsun Sheng even adopted a tacit or neutral attitude, why didn't you give it a go? With only one Yang Xuangan, can it stop our tens of thousands of swordsmen? ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed green: "Xuancheng, if you storm the East Palace, you can indeed succeed, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to rob Yang Yong and Yang Xiu, this kid is smarter than I imagined, and he also saw our intentions, and told me during the negotiation that if he can't hold it, he will kill Yang Yong first, I can't take this risk." ”

"Besides, He Ruobi is ambitious, and the allies who came to help from all over the country are also all with their own ghosts, Xue Ju didn't come, he only sent his son to bring a few thousand people, and Xu Gai and Dou Jiande don't have many people, even if they can rob Yang Yong, they won't do any good, they won't necessarily fight to the death, this time the death of the first emperor was too sudden, the prior planning and the distribution of benefits after the fact were not negotiated, it was not a good opportunity to do it, Yang Xuangan stopped my impulse, and now I have to thank him for thinking about it."

Wei Zheng patted his thigh hatefully: "Alas, I really underestimated this guy, I used to just think that he was a brave and reckless man, but their father and son knew all our plans, but they didn't report it, why is this?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "The Yang family is not stupid, they know best what Yang Guang is, they will not gain more trust because they denounced me and show their loyalty, I am afraid that Yang Su also knows that Yang Guang will not tolerate him in the future, although he is in command this time, but it makes Yang Xuan feel out of the limelight, and it should also be prepared for his retirement in the future." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "It's just that Yang Liang was defeated this time and Pei Wen'an died, will the relationship between him and Pei Shiju be found out afterwards, and is it possible to find out the lord's body?" After all, the capture of Puzhou was a joint operation between me and him. ”

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "This is the most important thing I told you today, Xuancheng, we must eliminate the traces left by Yiqiē in Puzhou, and not leave a little clue, as for Pei Wen'an, his family has been moved elsewhere by Pei Shiju, this time Yang Liang's defeat has been decided, and there will be a large number of people involved in this afterwards, I expect that Yang Guang will have too many things to deal with after he ascends the throne, and it is impossible to investigate and chase after him, just deal with these people who caused trouble, it should not uproot those families, that will only cause public anger." ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "What the lord said is very true, there are many big families in Bingzhou, if you engage in the nine clans, I am afraid that everyone in the Kanto family will be in danger, and even the soldiers will cause trouble, then it is not such a simple matter as pacifying Yang Liang." The lord can rest assured, since Daizhou has not been captured, and the Turkic prince has also collected his troops and returned to the desert, then I will deal with the aftermath next. ”

Wang Shichong said: "This time Yang Liang uprising, although they were quickly defeated because of their internal discord, but we are not for nothing, just now you asked me why I didn't try to find a way to cooperate with the outside in Daizhou, and let the Turks enter the customs, that is because of this battle of Shuodai, although I led the troops, but the main battle was fought by Yang Yichen, the governor of Shuozhou, this person is indeed a good general, but I think that Yang Guang may not let him continue to lead the army, this person is loyal to the first emperor, and find an opportunity to explain to him the truth that the first emperor was killed by Yang Guang in the future, and he will definitely join our great cause." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "The lord wants to continue to cooperate with Yang Su and his son, this is also the reason, after all, Yang Su and his son have experienced the change of Renshou Palace, and they are the best witnesses. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Yes, Yang Guang is a person, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, he will definitely empty these old ministers and generals in the future, and the first one to bear the brunt is Yang Su, hum." Yue Guogong also thought that he would take the initiative to lead the troops to quell the rebellion this time so that Yang Guang could continue to reuse him. That's dreaming. A few days ago, Yang Guang also sent Pei Shiju as a secret envoy to give me a secret edict, asking me to monitor Yang Su's father and son, and report any disobedience at any time. ”

Wei Zheng's face changed slightly: "What does Yang Guang mean by this?" Why do you want your lord to do such a thing? And why did Pei Shiju come to spread this will? ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "Yang Guang's ears and eyes are not smart, he only knows that Pei Shiju and I are good friends, but he doesn't know my private alliance with Yang Su's father and son, and he thinks that we don't deal with each other." The current palace people are all left by the first emperor, and he can't believe it. So I sent my friend Pei Shiju to pass on this secret decree, but the intention of this decree is obvious, Yang Guang hopes that I, a black-bellied person, will collect and even fabricate evidence of Yang Su's crimes, so that the Yang family can be uprooted in the future. At the same time, I also hope that I can find out if there are any people in the army who are intent on rebellion. ”

Wei Zheng nodded again and again when he heard this: "What the lord said is extremely true, but the alliance with the Yang family cannot be abolished, and the lord still needs to think of a way, which can not only make a deal to Yang Guang, but also not harm Yang Su's father and son." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with murder: "This is nature." Now there is a target sent to the door, you can go to Yang Su to top the cylinder. Of course, this time Yang Xuangan can't pass the test too easily. Last time, he ruined me once, and I have to make him uncomfortable this time, so it's called coming and going. ”

At the same time, in a hidden and secluded place in the Huozhou Valley, Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, father and son, sat opposite each other, Yang Xuangan had already had a stomach problem, and at this time, there was such an opportunity to ask Yang Su for advice in person, so naturally he couldn't ask for it.

"Father, what are you going to do with Liu Wuzhou like this today? Did you really want to kill him, or did you have the heart to give him this official position from the beginning in order to marry Yang Yichen? ”

Yang Su replied with a smile: "Then what is your plan for being a father in your opinion?" ”

Yang Xuangan has been thinking about this question, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Based on the child's guess, I'm afraid that my father wants to marry Yang Yichen, so I will test him through this matter, if this Liu Wuzhou is really his confidant, then be a favor, on the contrary, if he and this person are just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, they can strictly enforce military discipline, kill this person, and be powerful in the army." ”

Yang Su shook his head: "You are only half right, being a father really wants to marry Yang Yichen, last time you said, this Yang Yichen's ambition is not limited to the border town of Shuozhou, but wants to enter the court as an official, but the Shuozhou Army is the starting force he has been operating for many years, he will definitely not simply leave, then he will definitely leave a reliable enough person in Shuozhou to help him control the Shuozhou Army." ”

Originally, this person had to be Yang Sizhang, but Yang Sizhang died in the battle under Daizhou City, and this unexpected incident was a huge blow to Yang Yichen. Xuangan, you must know that it will take several years or even more than ten years to cultivate a loyal and capable deputy. After this battle, Yang Yichen is likely to enter the court as an official, and it is impossible for him to slowly cultivate a reliable cronies like Yang Sizhang. ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this the reason why he turned to cultivating this Liu Wuzhou?" ”

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, after Yang Yichen joined our army, he carefully probed his details for his father, especially his cronies around him, in addition to Yang Yichen, he has two major deputies, one is Wang Rengong, a man from Tianshui, you know this person, he listened to orders under his account when his father attacked the Turks twice. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Yes, General Wang has always been the horse infantry army that commands the right army, providing cover on the flanks. Later, I heard that he was promoted because of his merits, gave him a title of Kaifu, awarded the hussar general, transferred to Shuzhong to serve, and also made meritorious service when he crusaded against the mountain fang. Later, after Yang Xiu was unlucky, he also used to act as an agent for Shuzhong military affairs, why did he go to Shuozhou now? ”

Yang Su smiled slightly: "That's an arrangement for my father." The first emperor knew that this Wang Rengong had an upright personality, was loyal and reliable, and did not believe that he would follow Yang Xiu to make trouble, so he just left him idle, and Yu Lu still did it. Later, after about half a year, once the emperor and his father occasionally mentioned this person when chatting, and his father pushed the boat down the river and recommended him to go to Shuozhou to serve as Yang Yichen's deputy general. ”

Yang Xuangan also laughed: "In this way, Wang Rengong must be grateful to his father, and he will be regarded as his own person in the future." ”

Yang Su waved his hand and said: "Although Rengong has fought with me several times, and going to Shuozhou for his father can be regarded as a grace in the snow, but people's hearts are difficult to guess, people like Mai Tiezhu and Wang Rengong will be grateful to their father, but after all, they are not their own people, and it is impossible to be willing to do anything for our Yang family like Hongfu." ”

"You must see this clearly, they are not as ambitious as Li Mi or even Wang Shichong, they can discuss major matters together, if you are really forced to raise troops in the future, there is a chance that they will not be on our side."

Yang Xuan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, these people are pure soldiers, as long as they are pure soldiers, they will often be transferred to the imperial court to prevent them from staying in one place for too long." If you can't form your own forces and can't control the local army, you naturally won't have anything to think about. (To be continued......)
