In June, Yisi, Chenshi, in the city of Liyang, the superintendent of the envoy Yamen, here was originally the county guard of Liyang County, since Yang Xuangan was ordered to guard Liyang, after supervising the grain and grass ordnance, here has become the temporary camp of Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the military and political affairs are handled here, and today, Yang Xuangan, who has always been dressed as a civil official and wearing a purple robe, is extremely abnormal and wears a general robe and big armor, the whole body is shiny, full of lion heads and leopard heads, and the bright light armor of the cloud-swallowing beast on both shoulders can vaguely make people feel the breath of the battlefield, reminds everyone that this scholar who hangs on the clerical job was a powerful man who was known as the world's first brave general.

And Yang Xuangan's bright red robe, floating without wind, like a raging flame, he was sitting behind the big case, Li Mi, who was dressed in leather armor and wearing a leather helmet, stood with a sword, standing beside him, and on both sides of the hall, those servants were all replaced by the Yang family's family members, headed by Yang Xuangan's second brother Yang Xuanzong, all of them were as strong as bears, fully armed, with a serious and murderous expression.

There are more than 20 officials standing in the hall, looking at each other, these people are all officials from Liyang, and some are sent here by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to supervise the grain and grass.

Shi Youyuan, the scribe, is a thin old man in his fifties with gray hair, except for Yang Xuangan, he is the person with the highest official position here. As soon as I arrived here today. His brow was tightly knit. Without saying a word, and not even participating in the whispers of the other people, the two big drums at the door kept beating loudly, and the sound of drum horns could be faintly heard in the distance.

The sound of the drums on both sides outside the door finally stopped. You Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shangshu, I don't know what is the important matter for you to summon us so early?" And ......" He turned around and pointed to the courtyard outside, lined up on duty, the murderous hundreds of Yang family tribes, and the sergeants who kept lining up to run out of the yamen, and said, "Yang Shangshu is so aggressive, mobilizing soldiers and horses. Is there any permission from the Supreme or the Imperial Court? ”

Yang Xuangan's expression was calm and he stood up. Zhengse said: "Today I have invited all the princes to come, there is something important to discuss with you, this official received the news last night, the right Xiaowei general came to protect the child, originally by the holy order, stationed troops in Donglai County, ready to cross the sea to go to Goguryeo, as a result, this thief had a different heart, wanted to rebel, yesterday has officially pulled up the anti-flag, with the rebellion, is the right Xiaowei of the whole army of soldiers, there are 100,000 people. Now there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in the forward, and they have passed through Licheng and come straight to the eastern capital, which is less than 300 miles away from my Liyang County. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked, these officials all opened their eyes wide and were speechless, and a few guys who had already understood Yang Xuangan, such as Hu Benlang General Wang Zhongbo, Jijun Zanzhi Zhao Huaiyi, Dongguang County Lieutenant Yuan Wuben and others, pretended to be indignant, and shouted one by one: "How can this be reasonable, Laihu'er dares to rebel?" ”

"The Supreme is so important, he treats Lai'er well, he still rebels, is he still human?"

"Yang Shangshu, the top priority is to mobilize soldiers and horses to meet the anti-thieves, Liyang is an important transit base for the Liao army, and the autumn clothes and quilts of the army must go through this, and they must not fall into the hands of the anti-thieves."

A casual smile flashed on Yang Xuangan's face, nodded, and said to Wang Zhongbo: "General Wang, you are the general of the left waiting guard Hu Benlang, leading the troops to guard Liyang Cangcheng, how many people are there now, can you resist the invasion of Laihu'er?" ”

Wang Zhongbo said without thinking: "Yang Shangshu, the last general was directly transferred here from his own position, and the soldiers and horses of the last general followed the general Yu Juluo of the left guard, and went out to Liaodong with the holy driver, the Supreme said at this time that Liyang is the mainland, and there is no need for too many soldiers and horses to defend, only 500 soldiers and soldiers of the last general, plus the last general's own family and Ding Qu, there are only more than 700 people, this point of strength, it is completely impossible to resist the rebels who came to protect the children, even if it is his forward 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is not the strength in the hands of the last general can resist. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "What General Wang said is true, everyone present should also understand this situation, let's talk about it, what should we do now?" ”

You Yuan suddenly raised his hand: "Yang Shangshu, slow down, the lower officials have something unclear, please see me." ”

The corners of Yang Xuangan's mouth hooked: "You Yushi, please say it." ”

You Yuan said in a deep voice: "How did you know about this rebellion?" Donglai County is 800 miles away from here, that is, Licheng, which is also separated from Donglai County by four or five hundred miles. ”

Yang Xuangan said coldly: "The guards and horses of Licheng were originally the right guards of Laihu'er, and his son Laiji, Laiji took over the defense of the former Left Wuwei General Zhang Xutuo. Isn't that a normal thing? This official is dedicated to the country, and he has long felt that these Jiangnan warriors are unreliable, so he has been sending an insider to monitor, and the news of his rebellion came from my insider risking his life. ”

Zhao Huaiyi hurriedly responded: "Yes, that's it, these days, rumors have been circulating inside and outside Liyang City to protect the children and rebel, just yesterday, Yang Shangshu asked everyone not to believe these rumors, and even arrest those who spread rumors, I can't imagine that it will only take a day to work, and this rumor will become true." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Exactly, Your Majesty didn't let the grain, grass and ordnance pass through Liyang for some reason, but instead transferred to Liaodong through Licheng, and it was precisely because of this that Laihu'er rebelled, thinking that he could block Liaodong's supplies and make chaos in the rear." Although there have been rumors of rebellion against Hu'er these days, there is no empirical evidence, and the official as Liyang stays behind, and he must not allow the rumors to spread. ”

You Yuan followed up and asked, "So, where did Yang Shangshu's empirical evidence come from?" Six hundred miles of stagecoaches, to run from Donglai here, it takes two days, what are your skills, you got the exact news of coming to Hu'er to raise troops overnight? (To be continued.) )
