In late spring and March, the rain is sporadic and sporadic in the rain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the spring of the thirteenth year of the great cause, it was particularly noisy.

In the first month, Dou Jiande occupied Le Shou, called himself King Changle, and officially raised the banner of rebellion; Xu Yuanlang gathered people to rebel in Langya and Lu County, although the soldiers and horses under his command were not as powerful as Hao Xiaode and Zuo Xiaoyou in the early years, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were all brave and brave.

This, thanks to Hao Xiaode and Zuo Xiaoyou's rebellion back then.

In the repeated battles with the Sui room, the rabble of the past grew up in the baptism of war. The deserters who had been defeated were now unstoppable. Although the Sui Chamber sent troops to quell the chaos, they were beaten by Xu Yuanlang and fled in embarrassment, which greatly boosted the momentum of the rebels from all walks of life.

In the same month, Hu Benlang, who was stationed in Zhuo County, rebelled against Luo Yi and occupied Zhuo County, calling himself the governor of Youzhou.

And Zhuojun stayed behind Xue Shixiong, and took his family and remnants to defeat the generals and went to Taiyuan. Shuofang County Ying Yanglang Liang Shidu also rebelled immediately, and in February captured Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other places, the founding of the country was called Liang, self-named Liang Wang, changed the Yuan to the first year of Yonglong.

Liang Shidu was a vassal to the Turks, and was named the Son of Heaven by Shibi Khan, also known as Dadu Viga Khan, and eyed Chang'an......

For a time, the messengers who traveled in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jiangdu were constantly coming and going.

******

Li Yanqing believed that the horse was reined in and walked down the Jiashizi River.

Yao Yi and Xue Shui followed behind him, pointing at the scenery on both sides of the river bank from time to time, looking relaxed and complacent.

On the other side of the river, peach blossoms are blooming.

Yan Qing gently lowered his crotch like a dragon horse's belly, and let out a sharp whistle, and two mastiffs bigger than calves galloped over.

In the mouth of the thin waist, there was also a rabbit in his mouth, ran to the elephant dragon, threw the rabbit on the ground, and then circled the elephant dragon as if he was invited. The two-headed four-eyed mastiff that has become a fully adult is extremely fierce. It can tear the tiger and leopard, and the power is infinite. Yan Qing smiled and took out two bloody strips of meat from the horse's back pocket, threw them to the thin waist and four eyes, and then took the handkerchief from Kan Leng's hand and wiped it, and raised his eyes to look at the other side.

"It's a good place."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xue Jing, "If it weren't for the reminder of the eldest brother, I'm afraid that even I, who has lived in Gong County for a long time, wouldn't know about this place." ”

Xue Shui smiled slightly, and rode to Li Yanqing's side.

However, the crotch horse was half a body behind the elephant dragon, pointed at the mountain with a horsewhip, and said in a deep voice: "Crossing the river from here, the mountain trail is seventeen miles, and there is a mountain pass, which is very hidden. Climbing from the mountain pass, you can see the official road between Yanshi and Heishi Pass. ”

Yan Qing heard this, smiled and nodded slightly.

"Old Yao, how is it?"

Yao Yice immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "As long as the lord gives an order, Yao Yiding will not disgrace his mission." ”

Since the 300 parts of the Kip Stone arrived in Gong County, Yao Yi also broke out of the Qilin Pavilion and entered the shogunate under Li Yanqing's tent. His 300 parts, although he is older, are valuable in his experience and experience. For Heishi Pass, these three hundred veterans are undoubtedly a huge supplement. Yan Qing did not hesitate to incorporate the 300 parts into his command, and then secretly transferred 500 soldiers from under the Qilin stage and handed them over to Yao Yi's command.

Yao Yi is already good at riding and shooting, and he is proficient in the art of war, and he is more than enough to serve as a captain.

It's just that almost no one knows about the existence of this group of soldiers and horses, except for a few henchmen around Li Yanqing. It is precisely for this reason that Yao Yi did not enter the roster of the Wei Mansion, but appeared in the Blackstone Mansion as Li Yanqing's personal staff. Of the 500 soldiers, 300 infantry and 200 cavalry were formed. It can be said that this unknown army of soldiers and horses is also the most well-equipped regiment of soldiers and horses in the Black Stone Mansion except for the Qilin Guard.

Since he can be in charge of such a team of soldiers and horses, Yao Yi naturally entered the core class around Li Yanqing.

There is still no conclusion on the position of the Henan arrest envoy.

Although Duan Da tried his best to support him, and Yuan Wendu was next to him, because of Lu Chu's existence, Yang Tong also wavered.

Since Yan Qing returned to Gong County, he seems to have forgotten about this matter and devoted himself to taking care of the military affairs of the Black Stone Mansion.

At the beginning of February, at the suggestion of Zheng Renji and other local wealthy families in Xingyang County, Xingyang County Guard, King Yang Qing of Xun submitted a report to Luoyang, requesting the reopening of the Niuzhukou Military Mansion, and transferring Xu Shiji back to Xingyang County as the general of Yingyanglang in Hujiaoguan.

The reason is very simple!

With the defeat of Lu Mingyue, the south of Luoyang has become calm.

After Wang Shichong entered Luoyang, he immediately dispatched troops and horses to deploy defenses in the south. In this way, the significance of Xu Shiji's stay in Luhoi Mountain will also be weakened. Instead of staying in Luhoi Mountain and doing nothing, it is better to return to Xingyang to establish a meritorious career. What's more, Xu Shiji is Zheng Renji's son-in-law, whether it is Yang Qing, Duan Da, or even Wang Shichong, they will not offend the Zheng family for this trivial matter.

In the time of rule, the power of the Maison may not be demonstrated.

But in times of trouble, the powerful local power of the world is something that no one can turn a blind eye to, hear and hear.

Moreover, Yang Qing also has his own little abacus......

With Li Yanqing's successive victories, his prestige in Xingyang County has reached its peak. This is absolutely not beneficial to his control, and someone must stand up to balance Li Yanqing's prestige. Yang Qing doesn't hate Yanqing, and even likes it very much. It's just that this kind of political checks and balances are very necessary. Although Li and Zheng seem to be harmonious, in fact, Zheng Renji expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Yanqing to Yang Qing many times in private. Zheng Renji believes that Yanqing's momentum is too strong, which is not a good thing for Yang Qing and the local family of Xingyang.

It was under such circumstances that Zheng Renji recommended Xu Shiji to Yang Qing.

Xu Shiji is not a mediocre talent, and he has made many military exploits when he was in charge of the city. After entering the Wei Mansion, it made Heishiguan and other places not close their doors at night, and the road was not forgotten. Zheng Renji even believes that the reason why Li Yanqing can sit firmly in the Black Stone Pass now is because of the foundation created by Xu Shiji.

Yang Qing thought so......

In mid-February, Xu Shiji was ordered to be transferred back to the Tiger Prison Pass and served as the Eagle Yang Lang General of the Tiger Prison Pass, with a rank of five grades.

At the same time, Duan Da also ordered Pei Xingyan, the general of the Black Stone Mansion, to be transferred to the Niuzhukou Military Mansion as the general of Eagle Strike Lang and Xu Shiji's deputy.

In this way, it not only reduced Li Yanqing's control over the military affairs of Xingyang County, but also divided the power in Li Yanqing's hands.

What's more, after Pei Xingyan became the general of the Tiger Prison Guan, his rank was positive for five grades, which was equivalent to a promotion of one level, which was considered a good sale to Pei Renji. Why not do this thing? Perhaps except for the celebrations, everyone is happy.

Li Yanqing was indifferent to this.

Even when someone complained to him, he smiled and said: "The world's achievements are my brother, with outstanding military skills and excellent strategy." He went out of the tiger prison, but he relieved me of the burden on my shoulders. Moreover, although he lives in Xingyang, he is not familiar with Tiger Prison Pass. Lao Pei used to be the general of Niu Zhukou Eagle and was very familiar with the Tiger Prison. With his assistance, the tiger prison will be impregnable from now on. ”

The more he behaved as indifferent, the more outsiders thought he was disgruntled.

For this reason, Yang Qing also sent people to Gong County to appease Li Yanqing. Maybe Yang Qing also felt that he couldn't help it, and he didn't support Yan Qing to take over the arrest, and he also divided the power in his hands. If this was a different person, it would have turned around a long time ago...... But Li Yanqing can still maintain enough demeanor in front of people, which also makes Yang Qing value Yanqing more.

Man is such a strange animal, on the one hand, to be suspicious and beware, and on the other hand, to appease and woo.

But in this way, Yang Qing is also relieved!

No matter who is the arrest envoy, he is sure enough to take Xingyang County into his own hands.

Entering March, Kansai Guanzhong, wolf smoke is everywhere.

However, Xingyang County has always maintained a calm situation, and Li Mi has not taken any major action since he proclaimed himself King of Wei in Wagangzhai.

But it was clear to all that it was just the calm before the storm.

Li Mi, it is impossible to be like this all the time, standing still. At the beginning of March, Pei Cuiyun accompanied Pei Shuying and arrived in Xingyang County together to borrow Haoqiu Fort. As for the reason, it's very simple. Hedong is said to be turbulent, and it is really not suitable to live again. Although there are also wars in Xingyang, it is a happy land compared to Hedong...... The most important thing is that in mid-February, Chang'an sent Hu Benlang to lead the two armies of Pang Yu and Huo Shiju into the eastern capital, which also made the strength of the eastern capital greatly increased. For a while, there was a scene of singing and dancing.

When Pei Shuying's aunt and nephew arrived at Haoqiuwu Fort, Li Yanqing was inspecting Jiushanzhai.

After inspecting the surrounding defenses, he and Mai Zizhong went down the Jiashizi River and returned to Heishi Pass.

"Lao Yao, I want you to be stationed in Peach Blossom Pass within ten days.

As soon as I have a lot of food and grass, I will deliver it secretly. Without my warrant, your men and horses are not allowed to act rashly, let alone contact me rashly.

Remember, your army is the last hole card in my hand...... As a last resort, do not expose others to know about it. ”

When Yan Qing said this, his words were sincere and sincere.

Yao Yi took a deep breath and said on the horse: "Please rest assured, even if I am cut off from food and grass, if I am not ordered by my lord, no one will know about my existence." ”

Li Yanqing's face showed a bright smile.

"Yanqing, do you think that there will be a war in this Black Stone Pass?"

On the way back to Gong County, Xue Shui couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He discovered Peach Blossom Pass, which was an accident. suggested to Li Yanqing that the stationing of soldiers and horses in Taohuaao was also to prevent trouble.

It's just that he didn't expect that Li Yanqing would attach so much importance to Peach Blossom Pass.

Heishi Pass is located to the west of Xingyang, to be precise, it is the last line of defense of the Yanshi. But Xue Shui didn't think that Wagangzhai could have the ability to break through Xu Shiji's Tiger Prison Pass and approach Heishi Pass. Li Yanqing's arrangement is more like being on guard against a sneak attack in the Eastern Capital.

Could it be that Wang Shi had the courage to attack Xingyang County?

Of course, Li Yanqing understood the meaning of Xue Shu's words.

Glancing back, he said softly: "Do you think Wang Shichong has spent so much effort, if he can't get Xingyang, he will give up?" ”

"This ......"

"I'm sure that as long as Wang Shichong finds an opportunity, he will definitely take action.

I estimate that when Li Mibing came to the Tiger Pass, it was Wang Shichong who attacked the Black Stone Pass. This person is good at seizing opportunities, and will never sit idly by and watch Xingyang and not be controlled by him. He has been quite active in the Eastern Capital recently, and he is afraid that it will not be long before he will control the Eastern Capital in his hands.

So, I had to plan ahead. If Wang Shichong really wants to forcibly take the Black Stone Pass, I don't mind letting him lose his troops here. ”

Li Yanqing said goodbye and looked at Xue.

Xue Shui looked clear, and said with a smile: "In this way, it can give me a glimpse of Xingyang Li's invincible methods." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud at the same time!

Li Yanqing clenched the agarwood lance on the saddle bridge, and looked into the distance with a deep gaze: Li Mi, Wang Shichong, I ...... You ready!
