—— Li Jue has gone to live in the cleaned palace, and is in command of Luoyang in the palace.

Although Yang Xi's command line was also placed in the imperial city, he went out to greet an official of Yan Zhenqing's level, which was not of a high level, and he did not inform Li Jue. Because Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pang Zhong, Wang Sili and other generals were ordered to pursue the remnants of the rebels and maintain order in the city, when Yang Xi went out to greet Yan Zhenqing, he only took a few generals such as Gao Shi, Lu Chongben, and Tian Liangqiu.

However, in other people's feelings, Yang Xi personally went to greet an official of Yan Zhenqing's level, which was really a bit too embarrassing. After all, now Yan Zhenqing is only a first-level official, and he is far from Yang Xi, the deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, Yang Xi went to greet him in person, and he surrendered his identity a little.

But Yang Xi didn't feel like this at all, he had a faint excitement in his heart, the same excitement as he was going to meet some legendary figure. Of course, in addition to admiring Yan Zhenqing, a calligraphy master, Yang Xi still has the idea of wanting to have a good relationship with this person and use it for himself in the future.

Because he already has unrealistic ideas in his heart, he wants to recruit any talented person to his door.

Yang Xi's own generals have been using means to win over, after such a long time, most of the generals are willing to obey his orders, and there are also some of their own cronies, at least for now, there should be more and more people who obey him in the future. However, Yang Xi also knew that compared with Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others, there were not many generals in his army who could be described as outstanding.

After joining forces with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, Yang Xi knew what it meant to be a fierce general.

Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi under the number of generals is very large, Yang Xi before and after the two generations of people heard of the number of people Lai, Gu Huai'en, Hun Shizhi and Hun Xuan father and son, Li Guozhen, Ma Lan and other generals, he does not know, but in history is quite famous, the war performance is very good Gao Fucheng, Guo Yingyi, Li Baoyu, Chen Huiguang, Xin Yunjing, Wang Sheng, Shang Wenyi, Gao Yanchong, Li Guangyi, Xue Jianxun, Hao Tingyu, Bai Xiaode and others, these people's ranks except for Hun Yang is only a Zhonglang general, the others are at least generals above the rank of general.

The deeds of Lai Yao, Fugu Huaien, Hun Shizhi and Hun Xuan father and son, and Li Guozhen Yang Xi recorded in the book he read before the crossing, and these people, like Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Yan Zhenqing, and Zhang Xun, were all people he wanted to make friends with and wanted to win them over to help him. Other generals who are good at fighting, he also wants to get along with them and win over as many people as possible for his own use.

Yang Xi also knew that the most important thing to bring so many generals to his name and let them use for himself was to have a good relationship with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. has a good relationship with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and other generals will not sell their friendships. Yang Xi is not in a hurry, everything has to be done slowly, and when the situation is calmed down, he will further get along with these generals, and finally mix to the point of being very familiar.

Yang Xi went out of the city for five miles, and finally received Yan Zhenqing's department.

I didn't expect that the defenders in Luoyang City would send someone to greet Yan Zhenqing, who was late to his team, and was even surprised, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command to stop advancing, and he himself took a few lieutenants and personal guards to meet him.

Yang Xi also got off the horse and walked up quickly, in this case, he didn't need to be introduced by others to know which one was Yan Zhenqing, and saluted before the other party: "Boy Yang Xi, I've seen Yan Gong!"

Yan Zhenqing is forty-eight years old this year, not very old, but he doesn't look like a military general at all, even after more than a year of fighting, his face still looks quite white, quite elegant, giving people a feeling of being a little tall, but not too much majesty. Yang Xi likes this style of people, and when he first saw Yan Zhenqing, he immediately had more affection for Yan Zhenqing, who almost admired Yan Zhenqing.

When he heard that it was Yang Xi who personally went out of the city to greet him, Yan Zhenqing was startled and hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to be Marshal Yang personally out of the city to greet him, it's really embarrassing." ”

Yang Xi hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Yan Zhenqing, continued to treat each other with the courtesy of a junior, and praised him sincerely: "Yan Gong's words are serious." After An Lushan rebelled, Yan Gong has been leading the army to resist in the north, and has never succumbed to the rebels of the thieves. Brother Ling was unyielding to life and death, and more than 30 members of the Yan family died under An Lushan's butcher's knife, which made us sigh and admire! Yan Gong has made such great military achievements in the north, I believe that after returning to the dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely have a heavy reward. You have also had a lot of battles with the rebels along the way, and it is quite surprising that you can arrive in Luoyang so quickly. ”

Hearing Yang Xi mention that his brother Yan Gaoqing and more than 30 members of the Yan family were killed by An Lushan, Yan Zhenqing was a little gloomy, but he still smiled generously, and pleaded guilty again: "Marshal Yang, this is all in the past, no need to mention it again!" The marshal, the last general, was very ashamed, did not catch up with the battle to attack Luoyang, delayed the military situation, and asked the marshal to punish him. As he spoke, he respectfully gave a military salute from a subordinate to a superior.

Yang Xi also hurriedly hugged it and motioned to Yan Zhenqing to excuse himself: "Yan Gong is on leave." The war is almost over, Luoyang was captured by our army, An Lushan and Shi Siming were captured, An Qingxu surrendered, and the next thing is just to sweep away the remnants of the rebels. Yan Gong has fought a lot with the rebels along the way, and many people have been annihilated, all of which are not small feats, and the kid will definitely report all the achievements of Yan Gong in the name of the leading marshal, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to give Yan Gong a heavy reward for the pillars of the country who fought for the national righteousness. ”

Yang Xi's words made Yan Zhenqing even more stunned, he couldn't understand what Yang Xi was saying this for.

Over the years, Yan Zhenqing has been working abroad and has no relationship with Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong is notorious, Yan Zhenqing also feels disgusted with others, and he doesn't have much good impression of Yang Guozhong's sons and cronies. In the past year, Yang Xi has become famous in the world, and it can be said that he saved the Tang Dynasty with his own strength, but because Yang Xi is Yang Guozhong's son, when he didn't see Yang Xi and his people, Yan Zhenqing still had a bad feeling in his heart. But today, Yang Xi was so friendly to him, he did not hesitate to surrender his identity and go out of the city to greet him, and he showed great respect and humility to him, and there was no pretentiousness, and now he said that he was willing to ask for credit for him in front of the emperor, which made Yan Zhenqing a little overwhelmed.

If Yang Xi was not Yang Guozhong's son, with his military exploits, as well as his extraordinary demeanor when he met, and his goodwill to him, Yan Zhenqing would immediately think that this was a person worth befriending.

Judging from the surface of Yang Xi alone, this is an amazing young talent, very different from mortals. Although Yang Xi has made such a great achievement, he is now in the position of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses in the year of the weak crown, and he led the army to break through Luoyang a few days ago, but he did not show any arrogance and arrogance, and he could not see a little arrogance on his face, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

It's a pity that he is the son of Yang Guogong! Yan Zhenqing sighed silently in her heart.

However, although he was so emotional, after seeing Yang Xi, the evil thoughts before were completely gone, and all he had in his heart was regret, regretting that such a handsome young man turned out to be the son of Yang Guozhong.

In the end, he could only express his gratitude: "Then thank you Marshal Yang a lot!"

"Yan Gong is too polite," Yang Xi smiled and waved his hand, "Yan Gong is now famous all over the world, not only your military exploits and your heroic feats over the past year, but also your first-hand calligraphy and painting are breathtaking, the kid has always admired it very much, and when the war subsides, if you have the opportunity, you must ask Yan Gong for calligraphy and painting in person, and please ask Yan Gong to teach him at any time." ”

Yang Xi's words made Yan Zhenqing a little uncomfortable, and he could only politely refuse: "Marshal Yang is too praised, there are more people in the world who are better than a certain person in calligraphy and painting, if Marshal Yang learns these from a certain person, it is a mistake for the master!" A certain is also in the process of continuous learning and improvement, and the current level is really funny. ”

"Yan Gong is too modest, your attainments in calligraphy and painting, looking at the world, are not many people can reach, you must not refuse, when the war is completely subsided, I have to come to the door from time to time to ask for advice, and please Yan Gong not to turn the kid away!" Yang Xi said, and didn't wait for Yan Zhenqing to agree or refuse, and immediately made another gesture of invitation, "Yan Gong has worked hard all the way, hurry up and lead his troops into the city, and wait for tonight, the kid will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Yan Gong!"

Although Yang Xi's words are a bit flattering, they are also true, and Yan Zhenqing's influence in the history of Chinese calligraphy is really unmatched by few people. Ouyang Xun, Liu Zongyuan, Yan Zhenqing, three people of the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty are known as the four most famous calligraphers in the calligraphy world. But among these people, it can be said that Yan Zhenqing's status is slightly higher.

Yan Zhenqing's reputation in history is so high, in addition to his calligraphy attainments, it is also related to his contribution to the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion.

This is much higher than Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty as a member of the Southern Song Dynasty, and "Bo Qiren and Bo Qishu", the wind festival is much higher, and it is also higher than Ouyang Xun and Liu Zongyuan in the Taiping Era.

Seeing Yang Xi like this, Yan Zhenqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got on the horse again and followed Yang Xi into Luoyang City.

On the way into the city, Yan Zhenqing also asked Yang Xi about the battle situation when he attacked Luoyang, as well as the capture of An Lushan.

Yang Xi's easy capture of Luoyang City made Yan Zhenqing very surprised, and his impression of this young marshal in his heart changed again, after hearing that Yang Xi humiliated An Lushan and Shi Siming in public, and made An Lushan and Shi Siming make a big fool with his excellent martial arts, Yan Zhenqing couldn't help but marvel again, and looked at Yang Xi more and more. The way of civil and military affairs is so good, and his father is the biggest minister in the court, Yang Xi's future is limitless, and what is even more commendable is that Yang Xi is very low-key, without a little arrogance and domineering, and treats anyone politely.

At a young age, with such a surname, and when you grow up and mature a little, it will be okay.

Yan Zhenqing has completely denied his previous identification of Yang Xi, and he is about to start getting to know this young man again. (To be continued.) )
