In mid-July, after a long journey of more than 20 days, Yang Yuanqing led 30,000 Youzhou troops to the North Yellow River, and the army was stationed about 20 miles away from the Yellow River.

Yang Yuanqing immediately sent people to Dali City to report, and in the afternoon, a group of cavalry crossed the Yellow River and rushed towards Yang Yuanqing's garrison.

The army was stationed on the grassland, the defense was extremely tight, three miles away, the cavalry team was stopped by more than 100 patrol posts, and the leading officer hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Yang Sien, the deputy governor of Fengzhou, I have come to meet the general." ”

The patrol captain also returned the salute: "Please hand us over your weapons, and we will take the general to meet the commander." ”

Yang Sien turned around and ordered, and everyone untied their swords and bows one after another, and handed them to the patrol soldiers, who led everyone to the camp.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already received the report, he was overjoyed, and personally went out of the camp to greet him, Yang Sien turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee in front of him, "See the general!" ”

Ma Shao, who was behind him, also knelt down and saluted, "See the general!" ”

All the soldiers knelt down and saluted, Yang Yuanqing looked at these old subordinates, he was very excited, "Okay! Brothers, please arise. ”

Everyone got up, and Yang Sien sighed: "We are looking forward to it, just hope that the general will come quickly, don't be preempted by Yuwence's thief, the general is finally here!" ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I know, let's talk about it with me when I enter the big tent." ”

He led everyone to the camp, and Yang Yuanqing patted Ma Shao's shoulder again and smiled: "It seems to be fatter than before." ”

Ma Shao scratched his head and smiled: "If you marry a lady, you will naturally be fat." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, and asked again: "What about the fat fish?" Why didn't this kid come to see me? ”

Yang Sien said with a smile: "He is now a record officer of the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion to join the army, and Yu Dashuai likes him very much, recognizes him as a nephew, and promotes him." ”

"Isn't it Zhang Ting who joins the army?"

"Zhang Ting is Sima, Du Ruhui is Changshi, Huangfu is transferred to Tuntian, anyway, they are all these old brothers, and Yu Shuai basically did not promote newcomers."

A few people said, and then came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the rest of the soldiers rested in the other tent, Yang Sien and Ma Shao entered the big tent and sat down, Yang Yuanqing asked: "Tell me about Yu Wence, has he arrived?" ”

Yang Sien nodded, "He arrived in Jiuyuan County five days ago, and I heard that he and Yu Shuai were handed over military power in Lingwu County, and the first thing he did when he took office was to remove Pei Xingyan, the overseer of Jiuyuan County, and the four Ying Yang Lang generals. ”

"Wait!"

Yang Yuanqing stopped him, "Why is there an overseer in Fengzhou?" ”

Yang Sien hurriedly explained: "This is the restructuring of Yu Shuai, the Fengzhou army is 30,000 people, and six overseers have been set up, each of whom has jurisdiction over five military offices, I, Ma Shao, Pei Xingyan, Zhao Wu, He Liujia, and Yang Zongzheng are all old brothers. ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, Zhao Wu, He Liujia, and Yang Zongzheng were all his iron guards, that is, Liulang, Qilang, and Hachilang, and they all had their own names.

"You mean to say that Yuwence already controls five thousand troops?"

Yang Sien sighed, "This Yuwence brought dozens of entourages to his post, and on the second day of his tenure, he dismissed Pei Xingyan from his post, and also killed a Pei Xingyan's subordinate lieutenant, very vicious, yesterday I received his military order, he ordered me and all the overseers to go to Jiuyuan County to report on their work, it is estimated that they are all ready to be purged." ”

Yang Yuanqing snorted heavily, and asked again: "What about Pei Xingyan?" ”

"He is in Wuhai City, I asked him to go to Wuhai City to be a town general temporarily."

Yang Yuanqing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned back to Ma Shao and said, "You go back to Dali City first, block the news of my return, and I will enter Dali City at night." ”

Ma Shao agreed, turned around and went out, Yang Yuanqing remembered something, and asked Yang Sien again, "Is my family here?" ”

Yang Sien perked up, and hurriedly smiled: "It's all in Dali City, and I want to congratulate the general!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was slightly stunned, his mind turned, and he suddenly reacted, so he asked happily: "But my concubine Ah Lian was born?" ”

Yang Sien smiled: "Congratulations to the general for getting another noble son." ”

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, calculating the time, Ah Lian should have given birth to a child in May, but he didn't expect to give birth to a boy, and his second son was born.

．．．．．．．

At night, Yang Yuanqing led an army of 30,000 to enter Dali City under the cover of night, settled the army, and immediately rushed back to his mansion.

At the gate, he turned over and dismounted, and happened to meet the concubine Green Tea who came out to check the situation after hearing the news, Green Tea was stunned, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the inner house, "Madam, the master is back!" The lord is back! ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, walked into the mansion, Pei Minqiu came out with infinite joy with the family, nothing is more gratifying than the safe reunion of the family in the troubled times, Yang Yuanqing and his wife and children hugged one by one, and everyone cried with joy.

Ah Lian walked last, she was holding a two-month-old baby in her arms, Yang Yuanqing carefully carried her second son into her arms, the baby was sleeping sweetly, looking pink and jade, with beautiful eyebrows, like a girl.

Pei Minqiu also stepped forward and said with a smile: "This little guy was born in Taiyuan, and he likes to sleep quietly all day long." ”

"Sir, give him a name!" Ah Lian smiled.

Yang Yuanqing kissed the child's pink little face, turned around and asked Pei Minqiu, "Where is my jade box?" ”

"I'll get it!" The green tea rushed away, and after a while, he brought a white jade box, Pei Minqiu opened the box, and there was a booklet inside, this is the list of children given by Yang Su to Yang Yuanqing, the names have been set, and the daughter can be named by Yang Yuanqing, but the boy must follow the name on the booklet.

Pei Minqiu actually knew that she still had to solemnly let her husband choose, "Husband, the second word is 'quiet'." ”

This is the sixteen characters written by Yang Su, and the first four words are 'Tranquility Zhiyuan', so the eldest son is called Yang Ning, and the second son is naturally Yang Jing, regardless of the descendants, in order.

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "This name is good, it just fits his heart." ”

He handed the child to Ah Lian, "His name is Yang Jing, and I hope he will grow up to be a brilliant poet." ”

Yang Yuanqing reunited with his family for one night, and the next morning, he led the army to leave Dali City and slaughtered Jiuyuan County.

．．．．．．．．

Yu Wence is about fifty years old this year, tall and thin, and he is also from a martial arts background, he participated in the war of pacifying Wei Chi Hui in the early years of the emperor, and he was awarded a meritorious officer as a general, and he is also quite shrewd and capable in the family, but because his brother Yuwenshu's aura is too prosperous, all the brothers are covered under his halo, so that several of Yuwenshu's brothers are unknown.

Yuwence served as Sima of Jianzhou for a few years during the Kaihuang period, and was deposed because of the case of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and has not been out of office since then, this time he was appointed as the governor of Fengzhou, which is what Yuwen Shu has planned for a long time, and the Yuwen family must be in charge of military power in the frontier to prepare for the future Yuwen family.

This is also the position that Yuwenshu dreams of, and if he can sit on one side, he is undoubtedly the emperor of Fengzhou.

Yuwence set off from Zhuo County, the distance was shorter, and he set off three days earlier than Yang Yuanqing, so he arrived in Fengzhou five days earlier than Yang Yuanqing, and began to seize military power as soon as he took office, he brought more than 30 followers, these entourages are Yuwenshu's confidants' personal guards, and Yuwenshu specially prepared for Yuwence's seizure of military power.

Yu Wence has already seized the 5,000 military power of Jiuyuan County and driven the overseer Pei Xingyan away, and the next step is to seize the military power of the other five overseers and kill the deputy governor Yang Sien.

The order has been passed out, and the next thing is to wait for these Overseers to come here to report on their duties, Yu Wence waited excitedly, he also considered, what if the Overseers don't come? Then he will lead the soldiers to the door and clean them up one by one.

In the room, Yu Wence paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, three days had passed since the order, but no one came, and he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Could it be that Pei Xingyan's matter spread out and made them all vigilant? ’

Yu Wence secretly regretted a little, what he should have thought of, he should have detained Pei Xingyan, then blocked the news, and let Pei Xingyan go by himself, which was a bit of a mistake.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and one of his relatives shouted nervously: "Chief, tens of thousands of troops have come from outside the city. ”

Yu Wence was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Where is the army?" ”

"I don't know, from the north."

Yu Wence glanced at the sky, it was already dark, he frowned, at this time, could it be Yang Sien coming? Bringing troops here, those who come are not good! He immediately went out to the city wall, and asked, "Is the gate closed?" ”

"Back to the manager, it's closed!"

Yuwence rode a horse and galloped, rushed to the city wall in a moment, thousands of soldiers on the city wall had been deployed, Yuwenshu looked to the north, only to see that under the night, tens of thousands of black soldiers in the north were marching towards Jiuyuan County.

The army formed a phalanx outside the north of the county seat, a piece of torches was lit immediately, the big flag fluttered under the firelight, the black falcon spread its wings on the red flag, this is the red eagle battle flag of the Fengzhou army, and the big flag fluttering at the head of the city is exactly the same.

Under the firelight, a general wearing a golden helmet urged the horse to slowly step forward, and suddenly there was an exclamation at the head of the city, and the soldiers recognized this person, it was their boss Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, I am Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, I am ordered by the Holy Lord to crusade against the Yuwen rebels, open the city gate, put down the weapons, you are still my brothers!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Yu Wence pointed at Yang Yuanqing and shouted: "You are the traitor!" ”

He shouted, "Shoot! Shoot him! ”

To his surprise, the city was quiet, not a single soldier obeyed his orders, many soldiers still stared at him coldly, and several Eagle Yang Lang generals appointed by Yuwenshu were panicked, picked up the leather whip and whipped the soldiers, and scolded: "Bastard, shoot arrows quickly!" ”

Yang Yuanqing opened his bow and set up an arrow, the bowstring sounded, and an iron arrow shot like lightning, only to hear a scream, and an eagle Yang Lang, who was raising a whip to whip the soldiers, was shot in the head and fell down from the female wall.

There was chaos at the head of the city, and one of the captains shouted, "Brothers, take down this thief!" ”

Dozens of soldiers swarmed up, pulled Yu Wence off the horse to the ground, tied him up, and the city gate slowly opened, and the captain shouted at the top of the city: "Chief, the thieves have been taken, please enter the city quickly!" ”

Yang Yuanqing showed a pleased smile in his eyes, the prestige he had built in Fengzhou for more than ten years was not in vain, in the land of Fengzhou, how could Yu Wence be his opponent.

He waved his hand, "Into the city!" ”

30,000 cavalry marched into the city, and inside the city gate, hundreds of soldiers pushed up Yu Wence, who was tied up, and several of his henchmen, knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing, Yu Wence shouted: "I am willing to give way, please General Yang spare my life!" ”

Yang Yuanqing bent down and sneered at him: "I spare you, Yuwenshu wants to kill me, I don't spare you, Yuwenshu still wants to kill me, do you say I will spare me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand coldly, "Push it down, cut it!" ”

The soldiers dragged Yu Wence and the others down like wolves and tigers, Yu Wence begged loudly for mercy, but Yang Yuanqing's face was as cold as iron, and in a moment, several heads were cut off, and the soldiers presented the bloody heads, "Report to the chief, beheaded!" ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded and ordered, "Put the head in the wooden box and let Yu Wence's other subordinates take it back." ”

He wants to let Yu Wenshu know, and even let Yang Guang know that those who want to seek him Yang Yuanqing will definitely pay a tragic price.
