This night, no one slept in Gongxian County.

To ordinary people, they don't know what's going on. I only know that on the county Yachang Street, the emerging nobles and celebrities in Gong County, the famous Banyuanjun, had a fierce conflict with the government. In the end, the government was completely defeated, and Banyuanjun won.

Who is right and who is wrong, no one knows.

The wise man is vaguely aware that disaster is coming. And the confused hope that after dawn, everything will be back to normal.

In the backyard of the Gongxian County Government, Li Yanqing also stayed up all night.

He ordered someone to search for Zhang Xianling's past correspondence and read them one by one under the lamp. His gaze gradually became cold, until when Yanqing read all the letters, he showed a bitter smile.

"Little demon, is the situation not good?"

Yan Qing put down the letter, "I don't know. Judging from the letters, Yang Jishan ordered him to control Gongxian Sanyue. If you count from the moment he transferred the officers and soldiers out of Gong County, it has now entered the second day. If my guess is correct, Yang Jishan will take action. ”

Yang Jishan is Yang Xuangan's brother, the official worships Liang County Taishou, and Shangyi is the same.

After Pei Shuying heard this, she couldn't help but be a little flustered. She was an assertive and strong woman. But it doesn't mean that she can calmly face the upcoming war. Although the women of the family can also learn to ride and shoot, the purpose of their learning to ride and shoot is more for play. In fact, it is not only women, but also many men. If you practice your skills, you can go to the field, and you are often tied up.

Zheng Xing at the beginning, this was the case.

He had studied martial arts in Shaolin and was also familiar with the art of war.

However, Pyongyang was defeated, and he soon lost his hands and feet, and almost lost his life.

Pei Shuying blurted out: "Little demon, let's rush back to Luoyang now?" ”

"Back to Luoyang?" Yan Qing shook his head and said softly: "I stay in Gong County, and I can still make a difference." But if you get to Luoyang, I'm afraid you can only help yourself. Auntie, Luoyang may not be safe, I'm afraid I got the news at this time, and it's in a mess. Let's go now, and if we don't get it right, we will be suspicious. I'd rather stay here and fight those thieves to the death. ”

In my impression, Yang Xuangan's target is Luoyang.

Moreover, he also came to Luoyang, causing great chaos to Luoyang. The water in Luoyang is too mixed, and Yan Qing is reluctant to go over to mix.

"Auntie, don't worry, with me, the party can't help Gong County."

He subconsciously stretched his ape arm lightly and wrapped around Pei Shuying's slender waist. You can feel the trembling of the jade body under the silk robe. The warm fragrance and smooth feeling from the delicate skin made Yanqing's heart much calmer. Lao Tzu was able to capture the flag when there were no reinforcements outside Goguryeo and no grain and grass inside. Now that there are countless fierce generals under his command, and there are Shaolin warrior monks to help, how can he be afraid of a group of chaotic parties?

After the initial panic she experienced, Pei Shuying gradually calmed down.

Perhaps realizing that the posture between herself and Yan Qing was a little ambiguous, she gently patted the back of his hand and slipped away from Yan Qing's arms.

"And what are you going to do?"

Yan Qing smiled, "The soldiers will block, and the water will fill the soil."

Hehe, the development of the situation can be clear in just one or two days. I'm going to go down and make arrangements...... It's up to me, auntie, don't worry. ”

The confident words made Pei Shuying more at ease.

"In that case, I'll go home and settle down first, and you can stay in the government and deal with things.

I think that after Zheng Shanguo returns to Xingyang, there will be an appointment immediately. Your top priority is to appease all those villagers. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, I have my own opinions." ”

*****

No one knows what method Yan Qing used to make 2,000 villagers in Gong County fall under his command overnight.

In the words of Ma Sanbao: "After Gongzi arrived at the barracks, he gathered the 123 officers above the battalion in a big tent, talked to everyone for a while, and then everyone returned to the camp with joy and sincerity, and led his soldiers to serve their orders. ”

And is it really that easy?

When the sun rose, the twenty-six human heads hanging high outside the gate were still dripping blood, which was enough to show how bloody and fierce the conversation was last night. According to a brigade commander, Li Gongzi was talking and laughing, and ordered Bai Wuchang to behead nine lieutenants in a row before starting the conversation.

After 400 years of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, the common people have an innate fear of the children of the family.

Even if Yan Qing has broken away from the Zheng family, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still a world, a son from a high-ranking lord. What's more, Yanqing doesn't just rely on his background. Thesis talent, he is a well-known half-edge monarch, and he is a grandmaster-level figure in the future Shilin. This alone is enough to make countless people admire; In terms of martial arts, he was born and died in Goguryeo, killing people like hemp, and his military exploits were outstanding. Its iron wrists, and the reputation stacked with surnames, also made everyone feel inexplicably afraid.

Moreover, since the Yanqing family moved to Gong County, they have been extremely friendly to the people of Gong County.

Xiongdahammer is a native of Gong County, Zheng Shi'an was born from the grassroots, and he knows how to win people's hearts. Even if many people have not seen Yanqing, when it comes to the famous Banyuanjun, the people of Gongxian County are still very proud to declare: Banyuanjun, the son of the goose, lives in Gongxian.

The combination of these many factors contributed to Yan Qing's overnight efforts to calm down the chaos within Gong County.

When the day was about to dawn, Yan Hu led the twenty-eight warrior monks of Baiguwu to arrive in Gong County, and then under Yan Qing's arrangement, they moved into the county government.

After that, Dang Shixiong and Xie Anmin led nearly 200 nurses from Songgaoshan Grange to report.

Most of these nursing homes are mainly cavalry. Its equipment is not necessarily inferior to that of the official army, or even more sophisticated. As soon as these horses arrived, they were immediately assigned to Yanqing's mansion and the county government. At the same time, Yuan Conghuwei was also paired with the Dawan Liangju brought back from the Western Regions by Ma Sanbao. Riding a spear lightly, carrying a bow and a sword. As soon as it appeared on the streets of Gongxian County, it immediately caused a sensation and made many people feel at ease.

Yuan Conghuwei's evil spirit is incomparable even to the official army.

The kind of calm and murderous intent that has been experienced from the sea of corpses and blood, even if it is restrained, still makes people feel frightened.

With such a group of people, what's so scary?

Therefore, when Yanqing issued an announcement announcing the news of Zhang County's intention to rebel, the people of Gong County were surprisingly calm.

Since the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Heluo has never lit the beacon smoke again.

However, due to Yang Guang's construction of the eastern capital, he strengthened his control over Shandong Shima, so in the early years of the Great Cause, Gong County was repaired. After the repair, Gong County, the city is eight feet high. The blue-gray wall is extremely sturdy. Even if it is bombarded with a boulder, it is difficult to cause damage.

And because of the construction of Luokoucang, Gongxian County is extremely abundant in materials.

In Yan Qing's view, there is Xingyang County as the gateway to the east of Gong County, and there is a tiger prison to guard the Yellow River. Yang Jishan wants to come to Gongxian County, which is by no means an easy task. Therefore, Yang Jishan bought Zhang County's order and asked him to sacrifice Gong County and open the road to Luoyang.

Now, Zhang Xianling has been taken into custody, and Yanqing is in control of Gong County.

Moreover, Xingyang has Fang Xuanling as the county Sima, and Guancheng and Xu Shiji as the flanks. Yang Jishan wanted to bargain in Xingyang, but it was impossible. He only needs to hold Luokoucang and stabilize the situation in Gong County, so he can sit back and relax. After dawn, Yan Qing inspected the city defense of Gongxian County, and ordered the treasury to be opened and all the baggage should be moved to the city. The so-called preparedness is this principle.

After the inspection was completed, Yanqing returned to the county office.

Yan Hu was waiting for him in the hall, and when he saw Yan Qing coming in, he put on a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Yuwa'er, I have something to tell you." ”

Seeing Yan Hu's serious face, Yan Qing didn't dare to slack off.

Fortunately, there was no one around him, Xiong Kuohai and Kan Ling were like two door gods, guarding outside the lobby door.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Yan Hu hesitated, "Do you know that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is your enemy who killed your mother?" ”

"Uh...... I know. ”

"In that case, why do you still want to serve the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty? Now that there are people who oppose them, you don't want to follow them, and you can stand by and watch. Previously, you fought bloodily in Goguryeo, and I can understand that you don't know your background. Now you already know, why do you have to give your life to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty? ”

Don't look at Yanhu's monkhood, this fire-like surname has not changed much.

Yan Qing looked outside the hall and made sure that there was no one around.

Then he replied, "Uncle, my nephew assures you that he will not die for anyone.

I also want to avenge my mother, but the question is, can we do it now? Not to mention that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was beside him, and the fierce generals were like clouds. Regardless of the tens of thousands of enemies such as General Tianbao and Pei Xingyan, those old ministers of the emperor are still old and strong. But in the case of a Ning Changzhen, does my uncle think that we can fight him now? ”

Yan Qing didn't wait for Yan Hu to speak, and then said: "Ning Changzhen lives in a remote place in Lingnan, and he is in charge of 100,000 troops with the order of a slang handsome. With the current strength of you and me, there are no more than a thousand soldiers, and there will be no more than ten generals, can you really kill Ning Chang? Can you kill the emperor of the Sui Dynasty? Can you avenge your mother? Can you wash away the shame for more than 100 people in Yanjia Village? ”

Four can make Yanhu speechless.

"Uncle, nephew also wants to kill the Dog Emperor today and cut off Ning Changzhen's head tomorrow.

But no...... Everything needs to be done gradually, and some things are not rushed. Now the situation has revealed chaos. With Yang Xuangan's body receiving the grace of the two worlds, he is still trying to rebel, but in this world, there are many ambitious people? Wang Bo, Hao Xiaode, and Wagang thieves, and now Yang Xuangan. I hope that the more of them, the better, because only then can I be strong. ”

Yan Hu's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his black face.

"You mean ......"

"Fishing in troubled waters!" Yan Qing said: "I am young, although I have a great reputation in Shilin, it is difficult to convince the tiger and wolf people. So, I have to rely on a big tree now. Although the chaos in the Sui room has appeared, the power is still there. Yang Guang is not incompetent, and there are also capable people under his command. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse...... Uncle, you and I still need to lie dormant now, and we can wait for the opportunity to move later. ”

Li Yanqing's words are true or false, but they tell his current situation.

When he was in the Zheng family, the Zheng family only hoped to get benefits from him, and promised many useless names. He used to be young, but he didn't show much. But as he got older, he felt more and more that it was difficult to get support from the Zheng family. Even Zheng Hongyi has a friendship with him who lives and dies and shares weal and woe. In the face of family interests, isn't it the same to consider the family first? Therefore, Yanqing did not hesitate to choose to cut off relations with the Zheng family.

Since he has severed relations with the Zheng family, the only thing he can rely on now is the Sui family.

Even if Li Yuan is his cousin, there won't be much support that can be given to him. It is rumored that although Li Yuan was appointed as an ambassador for Shanxi and stayed behind in Taiyuan, Yang Guang's suspicion of him has never decreased. Tao Li Zhang's threat made Li Yuan tremble now, walking on thin ice. This is also a big reason why Yan Qing didn't recognize Mrs. Dou, the Li family is useless to him...... To his current status, he has fame, and what needs to be increased is strength.

Therefore, Yanqing chose to help Yang Guang.

Absorb nutrients from the Sui room and strengthen yourself...... Fishing in troubled waters, whatever you want. Before he had enough strength, Yan Qing categorically would not reveal his true thoughts in his heart.

Yan Hu didn't ask anymore.

Yuwa'er has grown up and has her own calculations.

In terms of mind, he may not be Yanqing's opponent. So for Yan Qing's thoughts, Yan Hu was not only angry, but extremely happy.

"Yuwa'er, the presiding master is very happy with the Diamond Sutra you copied."

Yan Qing smiled, "If you can do this, it is also an honor for your nephew." ”

The two gossiped in the hall, and Gradually, a strange idea was born.

Legend has it that the thirteen stick monks saved the king of Qin...... Now the head of the Thirteen Stick Monks has become my uncle. But I don't know, will I save the King of Qin?

This thought flashed away, but it was buried deep in Yan Qing's heart.

Some things, as long as there is a starting point, will take root and sprout. Yan Qing didn't know what an important impact this thought would have on him.

****

However, the development of things was not as Li Yanqing expected.

At noon, Li Yanqing was about to go home to visit Zheng Shi'an, but he didn't want to be stopped by Xie Anmin as soon as he walked out of the mansion.

"Childe, a group of men and horses came down from the city, saying that it was the defeat of the Tiger Prison Pass, and asked to enter the city."

Tiger Prison Pass Defeat?

Yan Qing was taken aback, could it be that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost?

He didn't care about going home, so he hurriedly rushed to Gongxian County Tower.

The midsummer sun is scorching and extremely blazing. Yan Qing was on the tower of the city gate, holding a pergola and looking down at the city, only to see a team of Sui soldiers with crooked helmets and slanted armor. At the head of the team were a few generals, straddled the horses. And those soldiers, there is no military discipline at all, some are sitting, some are standing crookedly with weapons, and some soldiers don't even have weapons in their hands, and they are all weak.

"Under the city, who leads the troops?"

A warrior on horseback stepped forward, "I am Han Zhong, the captain of the Tiger Prison Pass...... Last night, the Tiger Prison Pass was attacked by the rebels, and we waited for a bloody battle to break through, passing through Guixian County, and I came to report. I also ask your county to be accommodating and give me a heavy supplement, so that I can rest for a while. ”

Han Zhong?

Yan Qing had never heard of this person, hesitated, nodded and motioned for Xie Anmin to open the city.

There were not many men and horses in the Sui army, and there were only more than a hundred people. After Han Zhong entered the city, he dismounted and met Yan Qing.

"Dare to ask who the son is? Why didn't the county order of Zhang County in your county appear? ”

Yan Qing's eyes narrowed, and he arched his hand: "Under Li Yanqing, Zhang Xianling is not in the city for some reason, so we will entrust the affairs of the city to the next." ”

"Zhang County Order, not in the city?"

Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed a look of surprise, "Childe, but is it the Zheng Invincible who fought in Goguryeo and captured Gao Jianwu?" ”

"It used to be Zheng Wuving, but now it is more appropriate to call it 'Li Wuving'."

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, then his eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "Captain Han, I don't know how to lose the Tiger Prison, why did you do it?" ”

"The son didn't know anything, and Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rebelled in Liyang.

My family was ordered to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and I was ready. I don't want to think that last evening, Xingyang was suddenly attacked by Yang Jishan, the Taishou of Liang County. Xingyang Taishou sent people to Tiger Prison Pass to ask for help, and my family sent troops overnight...... Who knows, in the early morning, the Tiger Prison Pass was suddenly attacked, and the deputy general opened the city gate and let the rebels enter the city. We waited to fight to the death, but we were outnumbered, and finally we were defeated by the rebels and retreated. ”

Xingyang attacked?

Yan Qing chuckled in his heart, and his sword eyebrows frowned.

"In that case, please go into the camp to rest first, and then send the necessary baggage and equipment.

Xie Anmin, you immediately send someone to Xingyang to inquire about the news, and see what went wrong in Xingyang, and where is General Pei now? ”

Xie Anmin hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Yan Qing ordered Ma Sanbao to take Han Zhong and others to the school field in the city.

Standing downstairs at the city gate, he looked at the back of Sui Jun who was walking away along the long street, and his brows were wrinkled together.

Yan Hu said suddenly: "Yuwa'er, these people have a ...... After Han Zhong learned your name just now, he wanted to draw his sword several times. Although he didn't make a move in the end, the murderous aura was revealed. These people don't seem to be the Tiger Prison Route, I'm afraid they have other purposes. ”

Li Yanqing smiled calmly, "Uncle, I know!" ”
