Chapter 287 To Yangzhou was ordered to supervise the army
Yangzhou has a long history, brilliant culture, prosperous business, outstanding people, extremely prosperous, up and down for 5,000 years, countless literati and scholars have left a poem and song that sings the world to praise Yangzhou,
Yangzhou City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, since Yang Shuo rebelled and occupied Nanjing after the founding of the Great Zhou, it has become one of the military centers of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
For the Tang and Zhou dynasties, the importance of Yangzhou is indescribable, but what makes Yangzhou famous again is because Yang Ping'an, the Mandate of Heaven, came to Yangzhou and served as a supervisor as a horse.
More than 100 years ago, Yangzhou is also known as Jiangdu, Sui Emperor Yang Guang is here because of one person and changed the Great Sui Guozuo, in the eyes of the authorities, that person and Yang Ping'an, are the mandate of heaven,
Now that Sui changed the name of the country to Tang, and once again faced the fate of the world falling apart, Yang Rui sent Yang Ping'an, who had just returned from Jiangnan, to Yangzhou as a supervisor, and his intention was self-evident.
When this news reached the Southern Zhou Dynasty and reached Yang Cao's ears, she sneered and said to herself: "Yangzhou, Jiangdu, Yang Rui really thinks that sending Yang Ping'an here can reproduce the situation of 'the Mandate of Heaven starts in Jiangdu, and the Great Sui determines the world'." ”
Yang Ping'an actually didn't want to come to Yangzhou very much, he didn't want to fight, and he didn't want to be an enemy with Yang Cao, he worked hard to cross the Yangtze River north, not to guard Yangzhou for Yang Rui, but to return to the eastern capital to meet the women, to solve the pain of lovesickness, and to find the opportunity to escape with the United States.
It's a pity that Yang Rui will let him get his wish, a holy decree of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus Gao Lishi, the most trusted eunuch of the Northern Tang Dynasty, personally passed the decree, and forcibly "coerced" Yang Ping'an and others to Yangzhou, as for Zhenniang, Su Min and other women, they have become Yang Rui's bargaining chips to hold Yang Ping'an hostage,
Of course, Yang Rui's holy decree will definitely not be so explicit and ruthless, only that the rebels are difficult to settle in the world, and he Yang Ping'an, as the current court's concubine, is proficient in the whole text of Taowu, but he is a talented person, and he should serve the court, shine brightly to quell the rebellion, and even shed the last drop of blood.
When the rebellion is quelled and the rebels are awarded, Yang Rui will greet the triumph of the army ten miles outside the eastern capital, and at that time the officials will be rewarded with a big reward, Yang Ping'an can enjoy the temple as the pillar of the country, and the beautiful wife and family will be rich and prosperous at your fingertips.
After Gao Lishi read out the holy decree, he did not allow Yang Ping'an to have any objections, so he let Shi Siming's army pull out, "coerced" Yang Ping'an and others, and drove to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou originally had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, this time Yang Rui specially ordered Xuzhou garrison general Shi Siming to lead 3,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry troops to Yangzhou to serve as Yangzhou defender.
So far, Yangzhou has added more than 35,000 troops, Shi Siming is the defending general, Yang Ping'an is the supervising army, Gao Lishi will return to the eastern capital after rewarding the Yangzhou defenders, Shi Siming and Yang Ping'an jointly defend Yangzhou,
For such a situation, Yang Ping'an greeted the eighteenth generation of Yang Rui's ancestors in his heart, but people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and the beauty fell into the hands of Yang Rui, so he had to submit to it and serve as the supervisor of Yangzhou.
Yang Rui gave him enough face in order to get him to agree, when he and Gao Xianzhi met on the hillside, and when the latter was about to leave, he happened to meet Shi Siming's army who came to meet him, and was immediately surrounded by heavy surrounding.
Although I don't know the identity of Gao Xianzhi Tiance Wupin Jinwei, most of the cavalry of the more than 100 Zhou Army and General Gao Xianzhi are all great achievements in Shi Siming's eyes.
immediately ordered it to be besieged, ready to be killed, and then captured Gao Xianzhi alive,
At the critical moment, he saw Gao Lishi, so he took the initiative to excuse Gao Xianzhi and let him live, although Shi Siming was unwilling, but Gao Lishi agreed without hesitation, and finally in Gao Xianzhi's thanks, Yang Ping'an sent it to the riverside, and saw them cross the river and return to the south, so he was relieved,
Gao Lishi's promise to let Gao Xianzhi go was not a good intention, just to make it easier for Yang Ping'an to accept the holy decree when the holy decree was read out at the next moment.
In this matter, Yang Ping'an has a deep understanding of the incoming Yangzhou guard Shi Siming, through the acceptance of Gao Lishi, this Shi Siming is Shi Siming in the rebellion of the history of Anshi, although his appearance is not good, but he is brave and good at fighting, and he is strategic, but he is too much in pursuit of fame and fortune, and he is unruly, even Gao Lishi has a little bit of ignorance,
Just for the sake of whether to let go of Gao Xianzhi, Shi Siming almost made Gao Lishi unable to come to the stage, if it weren't for Gao Lishi being annoyed and angry, patting his chest and saying that if Yang Rui came to investigate him, he would bear all the responsibility, but I was afraid that Gao Xianzhi would not be able to get out at all.
Shi Siming reluctantly agreed, Rao was so he did not forget to ridicule Gao Lishi and say that Gao Lishi and Gao Xianzhi are relatives Yunyun,
Shi Siming is too crazy, he is so kind to Gao Lishi, and he is also unceremonious to Yang Ping'an, Yang Ping'an wanted to inquire with Gao Lishi about the recent situation of the women who stayed in the Eastern Capital, but Shi Siming sent someone directly into the carriage, because he was in a hurry,
Shi Siming in Yang Ping'an's memory has the ability to lead the army to fight, otherwise the Anshi Rebellion would not have lasted for many years, and it has defeated most of China.
So he doesn't think this product is a reckless person, the only thing that can make this person so arrogant is that there is only one, there is a backstage, a very hard backstage,
However, who is the backstage?
After arriving in Yangzhou City, Yang Ping'an decided to let An Lushan get close to Shi Siming, and find out that the Anshi Rebellion Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan and Shi Siming have a good relationship, they should have the same spleen and surname, and at the same time Hu people, it should be easier to approach, this is Yang Ping'an's idea,
But after An Lushan came back, he was not annoyed, and in front of Yang Ping'an in the room, he scolded Shi Siming for being a bloody dog.
Yang Ping'an asked and learned that although An Shi and Shi were both Hu people, Shi Siming was not a purebred Hu person, and he despised the purebred Hu people quite a lot, An Lushan was no different from a pig and a dog in his eyes, and he didn't give a good face at all.
An Lushan was also humiliated by his purebred Hu identity in his early years, and it is said that he should face this shame calmly, but the question is that since he followed Yang Ping'an, how can anyone dare to humiliate him because of his identity,
"Big brother, you can't let this kid go, you have to make the decision for me."
Jiangnan and his party, although there is constant friction between the shameless trio, they compete for favor and slander each other in front of Yang Ping'an, but they also cultivate feelings, at least in the face of foreign insults, they can share the same hatred and hatred.
At that moment, Yang Guozhong said: "That's right, isn't the eldest brother the supervising army, while the senior father-in-law has not left, why don't you exercise the duties of supervising the army, and participate in the bastard, with the favor of the saint for the eldest brother, I think he can be dismissed from his official position, and the elder brother will take care of the younger brother by the way, and protect the brother as a Yangzhou guard, and then the entire Yangzhou will be the elder brother's." ”
When An Lushan heard this, his eyes were so wide that his eyeballs almost fell, and he pushed Yang Guozhong away, shouting: "Big brother, how can this guard be the turn of Ma Yuzhong, he doesn't understand military affairs, how can he be my fat man, big brother, don't forget, we have killed the enemy together." ”
His words are right, if you choose a general from the three sons of the shameless trio, it must be An Lushan,
But whether he can fight, whether he has been on the battlefield or not has nothing to do with whether he wants to be a general or not, Yang Guozhong doesn't know anything, but he just wants to be a general, since he followed Yang Ping'an, he has seen a lot, and he has also been promoted from a small ruffian who only wanted to extort a few small sums of money to a big hooligan who wants to step into the official career.
It's just that the position of leading the general, the congenital conditions are not as good as An Lushan, and he can't beat the other party, and then he glanced at Li Linfu and coughed heavily,
There is a strange circle in the shameless trio, Yang is afraid of An's fist, An is afraid of Li's viciousness, Li is afraid of Yang's nepotism, Li Linfu twisted his goatee at the moment, and said intriguingly: "Big brother, little brother thinks that this matter should be postponed for a few days, the top priority is to first find out who Shi Siming's backer is, what his strength is, and he can not even put the most favored father-in-law around the saint in his eyes, but he is afraid of his backer......"
Is Li Linfu still of some use, Yang Ping'an nodded: "You have been in the Eastern Capital for many years, you know what high-powered ministers there are in the court." ”
Li Linfu hesitated for a moment and said: "On the way here, the younger brother once considered that in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if the most powerful person is said to be the most prominent person, there is no doubt that the Taishi of the current dynasty is the emperor. ”
Xiao Taishi, Yang Ping'an didn't have much to do with him, he just had a grudge with his son, but he also knew that Xiao Taishi's daughter was the concubine of the court, and Su Min was the head of the harem before marrying into the palace.
Xiao Taishi is Yang Rui's father-in-law, and the emperor's relatives are in charge of the shadow guard, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerful, thinking that Gao Lishi is in charge of the dragon guard, and the dragon shadow and the second guard are not harmonious, if Shi Siming is Xiao Taishi's person, then he deliberately makes things difficult for Gao Lishi and does not give him face, which is also reasonable,
"Master Xiao." Yang Guozhong was taken aback, "How could it be him, then forget it, that old thing is not easy to mess with." ”
Yang Guozhong is stronger than An Lushan, one of the points is the background, I don't want An Lushan to be a bitter child, he is also a righteous official eunuch, although he is not ambitious, but he also understands the top figures on the hero spectrum of the DPRK and China.
Yang Rui has not been established for a long time, but let Concubine Xiao Shu restrain the six palaces, there have always been rumors in the court that Concubine Xiao Shu is the best candidate for the queen, as long as she gives birth to the queen mother, she will be able to ascend to the throne immediately.
And Xiao Taishi before Yang Rui ascended the throne, he was an old minister in the court, and he won Yang Rui's trust, otherwise it would be impossible to take charge of the shadow guard, a big tree was erected, and its roots were huge.
"He's powerful, he can have a big brother, and the big brother is a courtier." An Lushan didn't want to give up revenge, and he didn't want to miss the post of Yangzhou guard.
"I can't tell you that I don't understand." Yang Guozhong glanced at him, "Big brother, let's find out whether Shi Siming is Taishi Xiao's person first, and then make a decision." ”
Yang Ping'an is actually not interested in the position of Yangzhou guard, what he is thinking about is when he will be able to return to Dongfu, as long as Shi Siming does not come to provoke him, he will not take the initiative to provoke trouble.
Nodding noncommittally, he changed his words: "Guozhong, where did the jade slave go." ”
