Before you know it, it's late summer.

The high temperature for more than ten consecutive days exuded a foul smell on the battlefield. Although the situation in Gongxian County is better, after all, it is in a hurry to respond to the battle, and the preparations are not so perfect. However, Li Yanqing still tried his best to ensure that the city was clean, the dead and wounded were properly settled, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city would also clean up the blood stains on the streets in time. At the same time, Yan Qing forcibly recruited Langzhong from all medical centers to be responsible for treating the wounded. He also ordered the doctor to prescribe some prescriptions, collected the medicines in the pharmacy, and stacked them in a large pot to steam.

The boiled potions were either for drinking or sprinkled on the streets to avoid the plague.

This season, such weather, is most likely to spawn plague. Yan Qing didn't dare to take it lightly, and tried his best to tide over the difficulties.

After a lot of heat, it finally ushered in a night of heavy rain.

After the rainstorm, it turns into a drizzle at dawn. The rain washed away the blood and debris on the road. The drizzle has lowered the temperature a lot. Li Yanqing took Shen Guang, and after inspecting the city, he looked at Huoshan Mountain in the distance, but saw a gray cloud.

The battle was not easy, and could even be described as brutal.

The blue-gray stone bricks under his feet have long since turned dark red. The blood-soaked city walls were mottled in the morning rain.

Occasionally, stumps, severed arms, and blurred flesh and blood can be seen scattered on the ground.

The milky white brain pulp mixed with blood sticks to the wall, but it is not easy to remove. The soldiers who were temporarily conscripted into battle shrank in the checkpoints, holding their weapons, and constantly napping. Everyone was tired, and including Yanqing, they also found it difficult to persevere...... This is different from when he was in Goguryeo.

When he was in Goguryeo, the initiative was in the hands of Yanqing, although it was hard, but his spirit was very good; But in defensive warfare, he seemed a little passive.

There are a lot of generals around him, but there are not many people who can really give him advice.

In this cool morning, Yanqing hopes to find a place, don't think about anything, close your eyes, and sleep well.

"Shen Guang, go and take a rest...... Let Ma Sanbao come over.

By the way, take a look at home. I have never been able to go home, and I don't know what my home has become now. ”

Shen Guang had the heart to refuse, but it could be said that Qing Ji was prestigious.

Every sentence sounds soft and soft, but there is an irresistible magic.

Moreover, he was indeed tired. With Yan Qing fighting in the city for seven days, it is indeed hard work to protect Yan Qing's safety.

"Childe, you can also take a break."

Yan Qing smiled and nodded, but his eyes were still staring out of the city.

The rebel camp, shrouded in rain and fog, was very quiet. However, Yan Qing had already heard that Yang Xuangan led a large army and came to the city of Gongxian County.

The earlier rebels had not yet been eliminated, and new rebels had arrived.

To say that Li Yanqing is not muttering in his heart is pure nonsense. But he knew that Yang Xuangan might not put all his energy on Gong County. Because his brother Yang Xuanting has arrived in Luoyang. If he didn't rush to Luoyang to meet as soon as possible, Yang Xuanting might not be Fan Zigai's opponent. Moreover, I heard that Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had led his troops to Hongnong. The pressure Yang Xuan felt was actually not light.

But the reinforcements of the rebels are coming, when will the reinforcements of the Sui army arrive?

Yan Qingzheng was thinking about it, and suddenly heard someone next to him shouting softly: "Look, Childe, someone is coming over there from the rebels." ”

Li Yanqing came back to his senses and stared into the distance. Sure enough, I saw a group of cavalry coming out of the rebel camp and quickly approaching Gong County.

Sneak attack?

Yan Qing was a little confused.

Judging by the number of people, it is only a few dozen people, and it is unlikely to be a sneak attack.

Or is it to find out the enemy's situation?

It doesn't seem quite like that either. To be honest, after seven days of confrontation, Yan Qing may not know much about the situation of the rebels, but the rebels should know everything about Gongxian. After all, Gongxian is such a big place, the population base is there, and there are no reinforcements, so it is unlikely to change.

On the contrary, on the rebel side, reinforcements are continuous, and it is not easy to figure out.

It's not a sneak attack, it's not a reconnaissance of the enemy, so what will it do?

Li Yanqing was feeling strange that the rebel army had arrived under Gongxian County.

Yan Qing waved his hand, signaling that the guards in the city did not need to be nervous. He narrowed his eyes and watched carefully. The person at the head looks very eye-catching. He looks like he is in his early forties, and he has an extraordinary appearance. Under the crotch is a sweaty and bloody horse, the head is nine feet high, and its mane drags the ground. The whole body is jet black, with a tiger's back and a leopard's spine, and the male horse is abnormal. The horse's four hooves were more than a lap larger than that of an ordinary war horse, and it had a pinch of white mane that covered the hooves. There is a saying in this that it is called stepping on snow with four hooves. Yan Qing has lived in this era for a long time, and he can recognize it at a glance, this horse has a name, called Lion Skull. Because he was born with four hooves to step on the snow, it is called the snow lion skull.

This kind of horse can be described as one in a thousand.

is even more noble than the white dragon horse that Yanqing had at the beginning.

A person who can ride such a horse must first have a noble status, and secondly, he must be extremely brave.

Ordinary people can't afford it, let alone raise such a BMW horse. Yan Qing saw this snow-stepping lion clearly, and vaguely guessed what the person on the horse was.

Behind this person is Han Shi'e.

Yan Qing has fought with Han Shi'e a lot in the past seven days, so he can recognize it at a glance.

The owner of the snow lion skull, on the horse, a heavy, black lance. Dressed in gold armor and wearing a golden lion helmet. The jade belt is wrapped around the waist, and the spirit is vibrant. He reined in his horse under the city and looked up. Inadvertently, Yan Qing and his gaze met.

The man suddenly laughed!

"Hongnong Yang Xuangan is here, but the city is half-edged?"

Sure enough, it was him!

Yan Qing secretly screamed, bowed slightly on the head of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Li Yanqing, I have seen the general, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the prince of Yang." ”

Yang Su was born in the Yang family...... 'Yang' with Yang Guang is not from the same family.

Yang Xuangan opened his mouth and did not mention the official position, but only mentioned the county wang, which has already indicated his attitude. I'm not here to fight with you, I'm here to talk to you.

Yan Qing, who was a member of the Zheng clan, was naturally clear about the rules of this high-ranking family.

Although he has defected from the Zheng family, he even abandoned the surname 'Zheng'. However, Yang Xuangan's approach is to treat him as a disciple of a high-ranking family and treat him as an equal. At such a time, Yanqing can't mess with the rules. Otherwise, he will be despised by the high-ranking lords.

Therefore, Yanqing must also be treated with courtesy.

Just when Yan Qing looked at Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan was also looking at Yan Qing seriously.

He suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't have just listened to what Li Mi said, and gave up soliciting Li Yanqing. Seeing it today, although Li Yanqing is not very old, his bearing and demeanor in words and gestures are not comparable to those of idlers.

Yang Xuangan also has many high-ranking disciples under his command, but no one seems to be comparable to Yan Qing.

Now, this Li Yanqing has become a nail on his way to Luoyang. From the first time he saw Yan Qing, Yang Xuangan knew that it was impossible for him to persuade Li Yanqing to surrender. If he hadn't given up on this person at that time, he should be like a tiger now...... Thinking of this, Yang Xuan felt secretly bitter in his heart.

Similarly, after Li Yanqing observed Yang Xuangan, he couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion.

Don't look at the fact that he is only fifteen years old, but the life experience of the two lives combined is fifty or sixty years old, and this look at people's eyes may not be lost to those cattle people.

This man should be a hero!

This is Yan Qing's sense of Yang Xuan.

In fact, he knew very well why Yang Xuangan was opposed. The Yang family seized the Northern Zhou Dynasty by usurping the throne, so the Yang father and son were far more jealous of the ministers than the Kwantung clan. And Yang Xuangan's Laozi was the first powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Su is both civil and military, and his talent is outstanding.

is not only a strategist in the art of war, but also a poet and a famous man who adheres to the residual wind of Jiangzuo.

In addition, the Hongnong Yang family is a veteran family in Guanzhong. There are many celebrities in his ancestors, and in terms of origin, he will not be much worse than the Kanto clan.

Maybe it's not as good as the five surnames and seven families (Qinghe, Bo Lingcui; Longxi, Zhaojun Li; FAN Yanglu; Xingyang Zheng; King Taiyuan) is so famous and has a long history. can be compared with the four surnames of Hedong, but it is not much inferior. In addition, the Yang family is located in Guanzhong, and Yang Su himself is a person with outstanding ability, his protégés and former officials are all over the court, and he is the Duke of Chu, even if Yang Jian is alive, he is very jealous.

Yang Guang is far better than Yang Jian in terms of talent.

In terms of pattern and temperament, it is not comparable to Yang Jian.

Even Yang Jian can't tolerate Yang Su, how can Yang Guang accept it? If it weren't for Yang Su's early death, I was afraid that Yang Guang would attack Yang Su sooner or later.

But even if Yang Su is dead, Yang Guang still has a lot of scruples about Yang Xuan.

scruples about his family background; scruples about his network; Concerned about his reputation; Afraid of his talent...... Wait a minute. For the killing machine from Yang Guang, how could Yang Xuangan not be aware? Don't look at his official worship department book, you are the general of the Zhu State. But Yang Xuangan knew very well that as long as Yang Guang was allowed to free his hand, he would definitely deal with him. Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go. Therefore, Yang Xuangan chose to rebel.

It's a pity that this person may be a heroic man who has traveled widely, but he is not a heroic monarch who can seize the country and sit firmly on the country.

"The eldest prince came in the rain, can you see the teaching?"

Li Yanqing retracted his thoughts, smiled and said to Yang Xuangan in the city: "I have heard the name of the eldest prince for a long time, but unfortunately I have never met the eldest prince. could have bent the water and talked about Fengyue, but I didn't want to see each other now. The eldest son's kindness, Yanqing is grateful. It's just that you and I are now in hostility, and I can't be received with water and wine. This faux pas, please bear with the eldest prince. ”

A sentence that expressed his attitude.

If you don't rebel, we can follow the example of the ancients and talk about Fengyue.

But you're a thief now, so don't blame me for being rude. If you try to persuade me to surrender, you can't do it. If you have the ability, you will enter Gongxian County, even if I lose, I will die without regrets.

For Yang Xuan, it is not like Yu Rou.

Yan Qing's words were not only out of respect for Yang Xuangan, but also with a little respect for his father, Yang Su.

Yang Xuan was stunned and smiled suddenly.

"I have not come to persuade him to surrender, nor do I want to follow the example of that Yu Rou and bring shame on myself.

Brother Li, I'm dragging it out, and I want to ask you: If I had continued to recruit you, would you have worked for me? ”

Yan Qing looked at Yang Xuangan in amazement, and couldn't help laughing.

This guy is really heroic and cute. He even thinks that he is against him now because he didn't continue to recruit himself in the first place?

Li Yanqing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Eldest son, the Tao is not the same, can you understand what I mean?" ”

"So it's not my fault."

Yang Xuangan let out a long breath, raised his hand in a huff, and motioned for Han Shi'e and the others to step back.

"Little Brother Li, I already understand your intentions. Since the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, then we don't need to say more. I want to ask you to fight, and if I lose, turn around and leave; If I win, you just have to give up Gongxian. I can promise that it won't hurt your family in the slightest.

But I don't know, will Childe dare to fight? ”

Li Yanqing didn't react, and even didn't quite understand what Yang Xuangan meant.

"The intention of the eldest prince is to fight with me?"

"Yes!"

Yang Xuangan stroked his long hair and shouted in a deep voice: "I bet with you to fight, not for anything else." Now outside Gongxian County, there are 70,000 of our army.

If I attack, will Gongxian be able to withstand it? ”

Behind Yang Xuangan, Han Shi'e and others all showed fanaticism.

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, and after pondering for a long time, he smiled slightly, "There are still more than 40,000 people in my city, if the eldest prince attacks, Li can guarantee that within ten days, the eldest prince will not want to break the city." ”

I'll tell you the truth, I can't stop you.

However, within ten days, you will not want to attack the city of Gongxian.

I'm ready to die, and I'll survive ten days. But the question is, can you stay for ten days for this small county town?

In the words of the two, each has a sharp edge.

Yang Xuangan's face changed, and he couldn't help but smile: "Little Brother Li, I regret more and more that I didn't meet you earlier." Or, before the army is raised, you should be dealt with. ”

"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake."

"So, you don't want to fight?"

"In the past, Chu and Han competed, and Gaozu did not compete with the overlord.

Today, Yan Qing is not better than Gaozu, and Gong is not an overlord. When the time and place are favorable, why do you and I need to follow the battle between the husband and the horse? ”

You are not the overlord of Chu, and I am not Han Gaozu.

Fighting generals is a battle between husband and wife, and I don't care about it.

Yang Xuan stared at Yan Qing in a daze, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Li Yanqing, you have the guts!"

Yan Qing clasped his fists in the city and shook it deeply, "It's not that Yan Qing has the courage, but the eldest son doesn't know the number of days." Words are brave and courageous, and only by borrowing the power of heaven can he deal with his son. ”

I can stand here, not because I am bold, but because the emperor covers me, so I can deal with you until now...... Yang Xuangan's face suddenly became gloomy.

"What do you mean by the number of days?"

"The number of days is in the east, why should the eldest prince ask knowingly?"

Yang Xuangan smiled coldly, "If this is the case, Yang Xuangan will also have to compete with the sky." Brother Li, when the time comes, let's see the number of days, what is it. ”

"Yanqing, wait and see."

Yang Xuangan didn't say anything more, and turned the horse to the side.

Han Shi'e and others also didn't know what was going on. Seeing Yang Xuangan leaving, they also turned their horses' heads and left with Yang Xuangan.

Watching the backs of Yang Xuangan and the others gradually move away, Li Yanqing suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Who is the number of days?

It's not you, anyway...... Young Master Yang.

He turned around and said to Xie Anmin and Ma Sanbao with some fatigue: "From now on, you two will each lead a team of men and horses, and they will be divided into two shifts to guard. ”

"Huh?"

Li Yanqing smiled and turned his head to look at the rebel camp in the rain and fog.

"That's a strong man, but not a hero. Next, he wants to fight for the sky! I won't bother thinking about this small county anymore. ”
