Chapter 134: The Earth Dragon Turns Over (I)
Dangerous Taihang North,
Juyong is the eighth 陉. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Great Wall is white,
The mountains are stacked and the sky is blue.
Yang Yaozong and Zhang Lie sent away Ayi, Sewu, and Jie Zhiluo, and did not return to the city, but went directly to the camp of Juyongguan. On the way to the camp of Juyongguan, the two saw snakes that were supposed to be inactive in late autumn and appeared frequently on the official road. This also made Zhang Lie convinced of what Yang Yaozong said. However, it also made Yang Yaozong's eyelids jump sharply again, but it was not because the earth dragon turned over, but because compared with the earth dragon turned over, Yang Yaozong was more afraid of snakes, not to mention that he would encounter unresponsive snakes from time to time along the way. Even though he was riding a horse, it also made Yang Yaozong's scalp tingle. But fortunately, at this time, the two were already sitting in General Cui Jiye's big tent, and Zhang Lie's brother Zhang Qiang was also sitting in General Cui's big tent at this time, looking at Zhang Lie's excited expression.
Yang Yaozong still came here as Zhang Lie's follower this time. Ju He and Zhang Lie speculated that Cui Jiye should not have participated in King Qin's rebellion, otherwise with King Qin's military strength, he would have been able to wave his troops south. But the two also speculated that Cui Jiye must have known about King Qin's rebellion, so Yang Yaozong was very curious about why Cui Jiye ignored King Qin's rebellion, and wanted to know what role Cui Jiye played in King Qin's rebellion. Supporting? Passerby A? Or a theatergoer.
Yang Yaozong took out the letter written by King Xian and said to Cui Jiye: "King Xian and Zai Xia are friends of the year, and I learned that I am going to go to Beijing with Brother Zhang to study this time, so I specially asked Zai Xia to bring a letter to General Cui. ”
Cui Jiye looked at Yang Yaozong with great meaning, and then picked up the letter that the guards had received from Yang Yaozong, and unfolded it. After reading the letter, he raised his eyes and looked at Yang Yaozong more carefully for a moment, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "General Zuo will take your younger brother to your tent to talk about it." Ben will have something to say to this little brother Yang alone. “
Zhang Lie looked at Yang Yaozong, who smiled and nodded at him.
Zhang Liecai got up and stood up and bowed to General Cui, and then went out of the big tent with Zhang Qiang.
Seeing that the two of them and the guards around him had walked out of the big tent, Cui Jiye looked at Yang Yaozong and smiled: "Little Brother Yang, King Xian, is he okay?" “
Yang Yaozong said: "King Xian, everything is fine. I also remember you very much, General Cui. “
Cui Jiye was silent for a long time and nodded, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Little Brother Yang can win the favor of King Xian and become friends with King Xian, presumably Little Brother Yang must have something extraordinary." ”
Yang Yaozong smiled and said: "It is also a coincidence that I can be appreciated by King Xian and form a friendship with King Xian, but it is also a rare fate!" ”
Cui Jiye said: ""Brother Yang is dignified, extraordinary, and can be appreciated by the virtuous king, so his identity should not be just a fellow jinshi." General Ben doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, he just wants to know that Brother Yang, when you came to see Cui this time, it shouldn't be as simple as just sending a letter. King Xian wrote in the letter that if Brother Yang came to Cui for help with something, he hoped that Cui could help as much as possible. The person who can make King Xian take care of him so much, Brother Yang, your first one! ”
Yang Yaozong did not avoid Cui Jiye's inquiring eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I will speak bluntly, and please ask General Cui not to blame him for being reckless." “
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Cui Jiye said bluntly.
"What does General Cui think of King Qin?" Yang Yaozong saw that he had a lot of respect for King Xian, and he also had something to do here, so he asked bluntly.
Cui Jiye glanced at Yang Yaozong deeply, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The dragon prince and grandson are not something we can talk about at will. ”
Yang Yaozong nodded and hummed lightly, then picked up an apple from the fruit bowl he used to entertain himself, and took out the dagger given to him by King Xian from his calf, ready to peel the apple.
Cui Jiye saw the dagger in Yang Yaozong's hand, frowned and asked a little nervously, "Little Brother Yang, can you borrow your dagger to take a look?" ”
Yang Yaozong nodded and got up, holding the dagger in both hands, and holding the dagger in front of Cui Jiye's eyes.
Cui Jiye stared at the dagger held by Yang Yaozong's hands for a long time, but he didn't reach out to pick up the dagger, he raised his eyes and stared at Yang Yaozong and said, "This dagger? “
Yang Yaozong smiled and said, "It was given to you by King Xian." “
Cui Jiye stared at Yang Yaozong and nodded, then closed his eyes for a long time, as if he was pondering something, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Yang Yaozong was still standing in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where Yang Yaozong was sitting before and said, "Little Brother Yang, please take a seat." “
Seeing that Yang Yaozong was already sitting on his seat, Cui Jiye said solemnly: "Cui knows this dagger, King Xian regards it as a treasure and never leaves his body, King Xian once said that seeing this dagger is like seeing him himself." King Xian was able to give this dagger to Brother Yang, and Cui already knew what King Xian meant. Brother Yang, if you want to know anything, Cui will definitely know everything, or ask Cui to help you do something, as long as it is within Cui's responsibility, Cui will definitely go all out. “
Yang Yaozong saw Cui Jiye's fierce loyalty to King Xian, and only then did he know that this dagger also represented King Xian himself, so for Cui Jiye, who knew the meaning of this dagger, if he wanted to ask him now, it would be equivalent to King Xian asking him, so he said bluntly: "Does General Cui know that King Qin is recruiting troops privately?" And now more than 150,000 soldiers have been stationed in Tongzhou privately! “
Cui Jiye said frankly: "Cui Mou knows, but as long as the matter does not involve the virtuous king, Cui Mou doesn't want to care about those superfluous things, as long as he does his duty to protect this Juyong Pass!" “
Yang Yaozong sneered: "Duty? Since you can let General Cui guard the border pass, you are put in the most important position in the Great Zhou. You can see the emperor's trust in you. You should know that you are not guarding the country for the Son of Heaven alone! It's about guarding the country for the people of the Great Zhou! It is also to guard the country in order to let the people of the Great Zhou live a peaceful life! King Qin rebelled, cholera the world, how could the people of the Great Zhou live a peaceful life! What's the use of your country being well guarded! I don't know what promises King Qin made to General Cui, but you can watch King Qin grow his power like this. Or is it that General Cui, you are also involved in the prince's rebellion. “
Cui Jiye shot the case and stared at Yang Yaozong angrily and said: "I, Cui Jiye, have always acted above board, if Cui accepts the conditions promised to the old man by King Qin, I am afraid that now the old man has already come to Tianjing with soldiers and horses, and he will not listen to you, a hairy boy, to count the old man!" The old man is angry in his heart! But it's not worth it for King Xian! When King Xian was young, he took us to gallop across the field, and he lived and died with us, what a dashing and majestic style! But after returning to Tianjing City! became depressed and slumped. Isn't it because the emperor is afraid that the virtuous king will be high, so he has used some means against the virtuous king! If King Xian wants to be the emperor now, don't look at the old man's age, he can still raise his arms and shout to support King Xian! As for King Qin? Hum! The old man doesn't care what he does! The war between him and the emperor is a matter for their two brothers, what is the matter with the old man? “
Yang Yaozong sighed and said, "General Cui, your loyalty to King Xian is very touching. I believe that the virtuous king will also be pleased with your loyalty. But now the misunderstanding between King Xian and the emperor has long been eliminated, and King Xian also helps the emperor and the emperor's grandson to take care of the government. ”
Cui Jiye stared at Yang Yaozong in surprise with his eyes wide and said, "Really? ”
Yang Yaozong nodded and said solemnly: "King Xian hopes that General Cui can assist Lord Zhang and Zai Xia to stop King Qin's rebellion. And you should have heard about the collusion between King Qin and the Turks. And as far as I know, they should have reached an agreement on some point. King Qin has recently been preparing to move his army south. At that time, Da Zhou will be deeply immersed in the fire of the water people. If the Turks break through the pass, I would like to ask General Cui, who are you guarding this Juyong Pass for? Is it for the Turks? “
Cui Jiye's body shook, and he sat down in his seat, as if he was much older in an instant, and his eyes lost their brilliance.
***************
Yang Yaozong and Cui Jiye discussed for a long time, and then called Zhang Lie and Zhang Qiang into the big tent to discuss together, and they did not disperse until it was late at night.
Zhang Lie went to live with his brother, while Yang Yaozong went alone to rest in the camp that had been arranged for him.
Yang Yaozong lay on the marching bed and didn't know if it was because of excitement or nervousness, he felt that his head hurt a lot, he fell asleep over and over, and simply sat up, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples.
Some cool fingertips suddenly touched his hand rubbing his temples, and Yang Yaozong opened his eyes and looked up to see Yin Ruyun standing in front of him. He put down his hand and rubbed his temples for himself.
Yin Ruyun said: "What you arranged me to do, I have done well." ”
Yang Yaozong hummed lightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work." “
Yin Ruyun said: "Are you nervous? ”
Yang Yaozong smiled bitterly: "There are some. ”
Yin Ruyun said: "Now King Qin's army has been disheartened because of your little proclamation, not to mention that General Cui sent General Zhang to lead an army of 100,000 to assist you, even if he led an army of 50,000, he could also exterminate King Qin's rebels." ”
Yang Yaozong sighed, raised his head and looked at Yin Ruyun and said, "I don't want to see my compatriots kill each other. ”
Yin Ruyun was stunned, and said softly: "Rest!" ”
Yang Yaozong looked at her and smiled: "Together? Seeing that Yin Ruyun's face turned cold, she frowned, and hurriedly said: "Just rest, don't do anything, you should also rest and rest." ”
Yin Ruyun retracted the hand that rubbed Yang Yaozong's temples and said coldly: "I'll just sit and rest." After speaking, he sat on the ground in front of Yang Yaozong's marching bed, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Yang Yaozong said angrily: "It's too cold on the ground! It's going to get sick! Stretched out his two arms, and then held Yin Ruyun and put her on the bed, hugged her arms from behind and said angrily: "Don't move! Go to bed! “
Yin Ruyun struggled nervously because of Yang Yaozong's sudden move, and quieted down because he heard Yang Yaozong's angry shouts. She turned her back to Yang Yaozong, her face was red, her heart was sour, and two lines of tears flowed down. He muttered, "Wrongdoer! (To be continued.) )
