Yang Ling was beaten to death, Yang Xuan was stunned for a while, and a kind of remorse swelled in his heart, he just wanted to teach the children of the Yang family a lesson, but he didn't expect to beat people to death, now, how could he explain to his brother Xuanjing?

"It's not going to be easy!"

Yang Xuangan sighed in his heart, he could only appease his brother in other aspects, money, women, beautiful houses or land, he could only give him what he wanted, and if he wanted a palace concubine, he could only give him two.

At this time, Zhang Ji stepped forward and persuaded: "Duke Chu, there is no way for people to die, Duke Chu simply announced Yang Ling's guilt, let everyone know that Yang Ling deserves it, which can not only show that Duke Chu does not show favoritism, but also strictly enforce law and discipline, increase the prestige of Duke Chu, and do no harm to Duke Chu." ”

Yang Xuangan sighed and said: "It's me Yang Xuangan who is immoral and incompetent, how can I rely on sacrificing my clansmen to establish authority, since I have been killed by me, at least I should leave him a name after his death." ”

He turned back to the left and right and ordered: "Pass my order, crown Yang Ling as the Duke of Wei and the Governor of the Great Capital, and bury him with the rites of a prince!" ”

Zhang Ji was stunned, and didn't say a word for a long time, he saw that Yang Xuangan was leaving, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Duke Chu, Yang Ling is dead, Yang Xuanjing can be named a high-ranking official, crowned a prince, and in charge of the government, but he can't be allowed to take charge of the army again, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Yang Xuangan understood what Zhang Ji meant, it was indeed inappropriate to let Yang Xuanjing take charge of the military again, but this involved the redistribution of family interests, Yang Xuangan hesitated for a while, and after a while, he said: "Okay! Let me think about it. ”

"Chu Gong, it's not about thinking about it, but implementing it as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and you can't delay!"

"I see!" Yang Xuan's listless voice came from afar.

．．．．．．．．．

As soon as Xie Sili returned to his lodgings, one of his subordinates told him, "Captain Pan is here, waiting in the guest room!" ”

Xie Sili's mind turned, there must be news coming from Fengzhou, he knew that the Turks were attacking Fengzhou on a large scale. It had been almost two months since the news was cut off, and he was very worried, Xie Sili walked quickly into the living room, and a young man with a long beard stood up and smiled at him: "I have been waiting for Mr. for a long time." ”

This bearded man is the captain Pan of his subordinates, his full name is Pan Wendian, who once served as Yang Yuanqing's pro-soldier captain, and is currently the head of the Chang'an intelligence agency, and his public identity is the proprietor of a mule and horse shop in Liren City.

"How's the battle going in Toyoshu?" As soon as he entered the door, Xie Sili asked impatiently.

Pan Wendian smiled and nodded. "Just got the latest news. The Fengzhou army defeated the Turks, killing 200,000 enemies, and the Turkic army had retreated north in a panic. ”

Sleet sat down slowly. The excitement in his heart was beyond words, he patted his forehead and sighed: "This is really God's favor for Fengzhou, and there is such a boss." Why worry about the world? ”

Pan Wendian took out a text message and handed it to Xie Sili, "This is the order given to you by the manager, take a look!" ”

Xie Sili took the text message and asked first: "Has the chief manager already raised troops about Li Yuan?" ”

"I should know, that's why there will be a reply."

Xie Sili opened the letter and read it, his brows furrowed slightly, Pan Wendian bit his lip, and still couldn't help asking, "What's in charge?" ”

Xie Sili sighed and said, "Steward." If it is best to help Yang Xuangan defeat Li Yuan, if it really can't stop Li Yuan from entering the customs, then at least the acting king must be rescued back to Fengzhou, and the acting king cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Li Yuan. ”

Pan Wendian nodded silently, and he asked again: "Does Mr. think Yang Xuangan can stop Li Yuan?" ”

Xie Sili sneered, "What did Yang Xuangan use to block Li Yuan, his family?" ”

Pan Wendian sighed. "It's a pity that Fengzhou has to resist the Turkic invasion, otherwise we can also take Guanzhong first, and the opportunity is lost."

Xie Sili smiled and said: "Gaining is not necessarily a good thing, and losing is not necessarily a bad thing, since God favors the manager." Let him defeat the 300,000 Turkic army, and then God will definitely give him the heavy task of recovering the world. We need to have faith in the steward. ”

"Sir, I'm short-sighted."

．．．．．．．．．

Chang'an County, here is a county at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the county is high in the south and low in the north, waterlogging and Fengshui run through the county, and flow into the Wei River in the north.

There is a manor at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in the southwest of Juxian County, called Xifeng Manor, covering an area of 20,000 acres, including most of the Shouyang Mountain and 5,000 acres of fertile land, surrounded by high walls, and patrolling Zhuang Ding, no one is allowed to approach.

This Xifeng Villa is the property of the Dugu family, but it is only one of the many manors of the Dugu family, but in this manor covering an area of 20,000 acres, there is a secret army of 10,000 people, this army is composed of the family slave Zhuang Ding of the ten manors of the Dugu family, a total of more than 12,000 people, and the main general in charge of this army is not the Dugu people, but Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan.

Li Xiuning is Li Yuan's third daughter, twenty-one years old this year, not beautiful, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a bit of a man, but very virtuous, married to Chai Shao six years ago, the husband and wife have a deep relationship, have two sons, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, after Li Yuan raised the army, he named her the lord of Pingyang.

Although Li Xiuning is a woman, but the bow and horse are skilled, quite decisive, Li Yuan on the eve of the army ordered someone to recall Chai Shao back to Taiyuan, Li Xiuning stayed in Guanzhong to be responsible for contacting the Guanlong family, she immediately decided, sent people to the capital to take her mother, sister-in-law and clansmen to the manor, and sent people to Chang'an and Luoyang, and all the family members who followed her father to raise the army were also brought to the manor, one by one properly settled, no one was missed.

Her decisive style and excellent organizational skills made Dugu Zhen quite admired, so she ordered the clansmen to hand over all the Dugu family in Guanzhong to her commander, Li Xiuning worked tirelessly to train this army, so that this army gradually has combat effectiveness.

In the evening of this day, Li Xiuning, who had been training for a day, returned to the manor's residence, and just arrived at the door, a maid said: "Master, the second master is here!" ”

Li Xiuning walked into the guest hall, only to see the second uncle Li Shentong was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, Li Shentong also stayed in Xifeng Villa like Li Xiuning to train soldiers, he was responsible for logistics and external liaison, this time he went out for ten days and just came back.

"Second uncle, is there any news?" Li Xiuning asked with a smile.

"Good news!"

Li Shentong turned around and said with a smile: "Two good news, one is that our army has arrived in Hedong and is besieging Hedong City, and the other good news is that Li Zhongwen, He Panren, Xiang Shanzhi and other traitors are willing to join Tang Gong and help Tang Gong take Guanzhong." ”

Li Xiuning was overjoyed, she was especially concerned about the second piece of good news, these three rebel armies gathered in Zhouzhi County and Shiping County on the south bank of the Wei River, very close to them, she had always wanted to take these three rebel armies as her subordinates, Li Xiuning hurriedly asked: "How many troops do Li Zhongwen and others unite?" ”

"There are 70,000 people, but most of them are rabble, I have seen it, the equipment is poor, and there is no training, just rely on more soldiers to scare people."

Although Li Shentong subdued these thieves, he didn't have much confidence in them, but Li Xiuning didn't think so, she could lead 80,000 people to help her father and calm Guanzhong as soon as possible.

"Second uncle, can you invite them to the villa, I want to talk to them about the union between the two sides."

"Alright! I'll go find them and I'll be back in two days at the earliest. ”

．．．．．．．．

Li Yuan's army captured Hedong City, but did not rush to cross the river, but led hundreds of thousands of troops to turn around and go east, and widely publicized, the army went to attack Luoyang.

But Li Shimin was not in the army, just when Li Yuan captured Hedong City, he led 10,000 elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River from Longmen Ferry, into Guanzhong Fengyi County, he ordered Chai Shao to lead 10,000 troops along the coast slowly, he himself pretended to be a merchant, with Wei Chigong and 300 guards, to the direction of Pujin Pass.

In the cabin, Wei Chigong asked worriedly: "Childe, is it okay to take such a risk?" ”

Li Shimin was dressed in a white brocade robe, wearing a golden crown of the son, holding a feather fan, handsome, graceful, he shook the fan slightly and smiled: "The gentleman has something to do, he has not to do, when he can do it, when he can't do it, it varies from person to person, the reason why I dare to do this is that I have a thorough understanding of Yang Xuanjing, he is the eldest son of Yang Shen, he used to worship Yitong, but he has not made any achievements, and he has spent most of his life in Yang Mansion, but this person has eighteen wives and concubines, which shows that he is lustful, and he likes to accumulate copper coins, Always wait for the copper money to rot before ordering the family to buy items, so there is a nickname called 'Yang rotten money' which shows that he is greedy for money and stingy, Yang Xuangan served as the Taishou of Dongping County in the eighth year of the great cause, and raised troops in Liangshan, it is this Yang Xuanjing who is responsible, but Zhang Xutuo cross-border bandits, but he was so frightened that he left the army and fled alone, so that his army was wiped out by Zhang Xutuo without much effort, which shows that he is incompetent, so lustful, greedy for money, and incompetent people, why am I afraid of him? ”

Wei Chigong saw that Li Shimin had studied Yang Xuanjing so thoroughly, and admired him very much in his heart, knowing himself and his opponent, and winning all battles, this was simply too correct to be used on Gongzi, and he asked strangely: "Since Yang Xuanjing is so incompetent, why does Yang Xuangan still use him to guard the Eastern Front and hand over such an important position to him, is there really no one for Yang Xuangan's subordinates?" ”

"Definitely!"

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled: "The reason why Yang Xuangan reuses Yang Xuanjing is related to Yang Xuanjing's family status, Yang Xuanjing is the son of Yang Shen, and Yang Shen supported Yang Xuangan to stabilize the position of the head of the family in the crisis of family division. Yang Wei and Xie Yingdeng are both good generals, they can lead troops to fight, they are much stronger than Yang Xuanjing, but Yang Xuangan really shouldn't let him be the commander of Tongguan, he can be the prime minister, he can be in charge of financial power and official power, but he can't be in charge of military power. ”

At this point, Li Shimin sighed, but this was for Yang Xuangan, he couldn't figure it out, how could Yang Xuangan have a son like Yang Yuanqing?
