Chapter 722: The Way Home 2
In March, the northern land is still in late spring, but the south of the country is already in the heat wave. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the second year of Chang'an, the weather in Jiaozhou was much hotter than in previous years, and it was already very hot before entering the summer time.
The heat in Lingnan is not the same as the heat in the north.
At this time, the rain gradually becomes more frequent, so that the air always smells a little wet.
Sitting in the middle of the house is like being in a sauna, and even if you don't move, you will sweat all over your body.
Yang Shouwen simply took off his coat and wore only a half-arm undershirt, half open in his arms, still sweaty.
He held a fan in one hand while flipping through the official documents.
The rebels are on the verge of collapse, and Huan Yanfan is steadily steady, constantly compressing the living space of the rebels. In the beginning, there were still many local natives who secretly helped. But after Huan Yanfan's brutal massacre in late February, the natives recognized the situation and did not dare to relate to the rebels, and even began to assist the officers and soldiers.
What is the rebel's greatest advantage?
It is in this Jiaozhou that there are people. Most of them are inextricably linked to the natives, and once they lose their help, they feel like they are tied up. Again, after the Qingming Festival, Huan Yanfan intensified his encirclement and suppression. At the same time, Wang Yuanqi landed from the offshore sea, conquered the rebels' lair in one fell swoop, and compressed the rebels in Aizhou.
Gan Yong was seriously wounded and was no longer able to continue commanding.
In this way, the rebels have become even more torn apart.
"Gong Huan's strategy is excellent!"
After reading the official document, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
He said to Zhu Huan: "If a strong attack is launched at this time, the rebels may jump over the wall in a hurry, unite again, and resist desperately." Although the result is the same, the casualties are too great for us to be necessary...... Huan Gong besieged but did not attack, and the rebels were leaderless. Unless there is another Gan Meng, there is absolutely no way to turn the tide. ”
Zhu Huan nodded slightly, but showed a different expression.
Su Mo'er couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhu, don't you disagree with Ah Lang's opinion?" ”
Yang Shouwen now has two relatives by his side, one Yang Jasmine and one Su Moer. Yang Jasmine is simple-minded, as long as no one hurts Yang Shouwen, he basically doesn't care about anything, as long as he follows Yang Shouwen's left and right, he can be satisfied.
But Su Mo'er hoped to go further and be appreciated by Yang Shouwen.
He knew very well that in terms of trust, he could not compare with Yang Jasmine, let alone get the kind of attention that Yang Jasmine received.
Therefore, he hopes to gain Yang Shouwen's appreciation in another way, for example, to maintain Yang Shouwen's prestige. On Yang Shouwen's side, Mingxiu had already left, leaving only Sun Chuxuan, Huan Daochen and Zhu Huan. Sun Chuxuan does things in a down-to-earth manner, Huan Daochen is the son of an official eunuch, Su Mo'er can't be provoked, and he doesn't want to have any conflicts with these two people.
In contrast, Zhu Huan is very weak.
He is a flying barbarian, informal, somewhat wanton, and often argues with Yang Shouwen.
This also made Su Moer very dissatisfied......
Yang Shouwen raised his hand and interrupted Su Mo'er's words.
He gently shook the pu fan, looked at Zhu Huan and said, "Old Zhu, if you have something to say, you have to pretend to be a ghost." ”
Zhu Huan immediately smiled, glanced at Su Mo'er, and then said: "Although Gan Yong is not as strong as Gan Yong, but in this case, he has some ability to deal with us for nearly three months. Ah Lang, I was thinking just now, if I were Gan Yong, what would I do if I was defeated now? Although he is powerless to command, he may not not think about retreat. ”
"Huh?" Yang Shouwen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but bow his head in agreement, "Then what do you think Gan Yong will do?" ”
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood."
Zhu Huan said in a deep voice: "Ah Lang must be vigilant, Gan Yong is planning for the future when the general trend has gone." ”
Yang Shouwen was silent, only sitting on the couch chair, revealing a contemplative state.
"Miller!"
"In!"
"You immediately go to Changzhou and visit Duke Huan.
Let's just say, let him beware of the rebels' deception...... Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Now that we have reached this point, we will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to leave future troubles. ”
Su Mo'er was a little confused, but still nodded in response.
Seeing him leave, Yang Shouwen got up and smiled at Zhu Huan: "Old Zhu, what are you competing with a child at such an old age?" ”
Zhu Huan said: "Ah Lang, Mole is ambitious.
It's a good thing that you're peaceful and indulgent to your subordinates. But if there are no rules, when those ambitions can no longer be suppressed, there will be a lot of trouble. I'm not saying that Miller is bad, I just want him to be honest. ”
Yang Shouwen listened, frowning.
What Zhu Huan said is not unreasonable.
"Ah Lang, when this rebellion is over, I'm afraid it will be the time for you to return to the Divine Capital.
Once you return to the Divine Capital, you are bound to be reused. At that time, you will no longer be the current Yang Jun, but the prince's confidant and His Majesty's close minister. It may not be powerful, but it will also have a lot of authority. In addition, you are from the Hongnong Yang family, and you are even more literary and famous. Every word and deed will be noticed, so you need to be more careful. ”
Yang Shouwen, silent!
After a long time, he said softly: "Old Zhu, these days, I'm afraid you've been looking for an opportunity to say these things." ”
Zhu Huan smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Yang Shouwen no longer talked about this topic, and only nodded towards Zhu Huan, indicating that he understood.
"I made an appointment with Rong Niang on Fuqian Street yesterday for dinner, so I won't accompany Ah Lang...... Well, if there is something, go to Rong Niangzi's house to find me. ”
Zhu Huan walked out lazily, looking like a hanger.
Yang Shouwen looked at his back, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head......
Zhu Huan is like this, and he has his own reasons. Although he didn't like his appearance very much, Yang Shouwen didn't want to change him.
He has his plans, and he has his reasons.
Therefore, Yang Shouwen will go with him, as long as he doesn't get into trouble.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
During the night, a thunderstorm suddenly came.
By daybreak, the rain had subsided and turned into a drizzle.
Yang Shouwen accompanied the young lady to talk for a while, and then returned to the study. This rain has made the weather much cooler.
It's just that such heavy rain is bound to increase the difficulty of the war in Aizhou.
Yang Shouwen knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, but he was still a little irritable about the fact that this war had dragged on so far.
"Big brother, someone is looking for you outside."
The young lady is very sensible, and she never disturbs Yang Shouwen when she is doing things.
But today......
Yang Shouwen raised his head, looked at the young lady suspiciously, and said, "Who is looking for me?" ”
The young lady had a solemn face, without any smile on weekdays, and said softly: "It's a female crown, she looks very weak, but I can feel it, she is very powerful...... She spoke in a loud voice, and said she wanted you to go and see her......"
Women's crown?
Yang Shouwen's first reaction was Li Bao'er.
You know, he doesn't know any female crowns, and even to some extent, he is very discordant with the people in the Daomen. He wrote a Journey to the West, and then became a monk and worshiped under Master Shenxiu, which is considered a Buddhist man. Except for Li Bao'er, he really couldn't remember what other people in the Daomen he knew...... In the Taiwei Palace in Luoyang, Yang Shouwen rarely dealt with each other.
Awesome? Women's crown?
Yang Shouwen stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look." ”
"Big brother, I'll go with you?"
Yang Shouwen thought about it, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can come with me." ”
He took the young lady through the corridor and came to the front court of the county office.
In the vestibule, it was very lively.
Jiaozhi is now in ruins, and there are endless things to do, so that the public people in the yamen are very busy, and they are in a hurry.
And in the patio, a female crown stands with her hands in her hands.
She was dressed in a moon-white robe and wore a high crown, showing her outstanding demeanor.
Standing there, it seems to stand out from the crowd, very conspicuous. When Yang Shouwen saw the other party, he immediately recognized her identity.
Mingxi?
He hurriedly took two quick steps and arrived in front of the other party, "Ming Dao Chang, don't come unharmed." ”
Yang Shouwen really had nothing to do with Daomen, but he forgot that the Ming family was not only a wealthy family in Jiangzuo, but also one of the five great heavenly masters in Jiangzuo back then. If you look at it from this point of view, his relationship with Daomen is very close.
Two years ago, in Cheung Chau's treasure hunt, Yang Shouwen and Mingxi met.
Since then, there has been no contact between the two. Mingxiu occasionally mentions Mingxi, but most of them are vague. Yang Shouwen only knew that after Mingxi went to Longhu Mountain to practice after searching for treasure in Changzhou, he traveled to Bashu and his whereabouts were erratic......
Previously, when Yang Shouwen was conquering the bureaucratic department, Mingxiu had a topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Lingnan Province, which was said to have come from Mingxi. But other than that, Yang Shouwen has no news of Mingxi...... By the way, I heard that she and Zhang Shilong have a marriage contract, but they don't know what the situation is now.
Mingxi still had an indifferent expression, and Yang Shouwen bowed his head.
"Someone is going to kill you!"
She followed Yang Shouwen to the study of the back office, sat down, and without waiting for Yang Shouwen to speak, she went straight to the point.
"Huh?"
Yang Shouwen was stunned when he heard this, looked at Mingxi suspiciously, and said, "Who wants to kill me?" ”
Mingxi looked at him coldly, and then looked at the young lady beside Yang Shouwen.
"Zhengyi, Zhang Shilong."
This name is a little familiar, Yang Shouwen immediately remembered, is Zhang Shilong, isn't it the person who has a marriage contract with Mingxi?
"I don't even know Zhang Shilong, why did he kill me?"
"Because, someone wants you dead."
Mingxi's voice was extremely cold, which made Yang Shouwen feel very uncomfortable.
The young lady was a little unhappy, and said loudly: "Whoever wants to harm my eldest brother, I will never spare him." ”
"You?"
Mingxi glanced at the young lady, and then shook his head and said: "Zhang Shilong is extremely skilled, and he is even more refined in cultivating the Yin and Yang Great Compassion Fu of Heaven and Earth, and his means are very powerful, and he can take people's lives in silence...... You are indeed a good skill, but you have never cultivated spiritual secret arts, so it is easy for him to take advantage of them. When the time comes, not only will it not help Yang Shouwen, but it will drag him down. ”
The young lady was furious and got up to argue, but was stopped by Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen looked at Mingxi and saw that her eyes were clear.
"Chief Mingdao, what do you want?"
"I want you to help me kill Zhang Shilong...... I owe you a favor, you can ask for it as much as you want, and I won't refuse. ”
"Kill Zhang Shilong?"
Yang Shouwen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "You just said, Zhang Shilong is proficient in spiritual secret arts, how can I be an opponent?" ”
Who knows, Mingxi said with a straight face: "You can, I know, you can kill Zhang Shilong." (To be continued.) )
