Chapter 032: Eight Winds
Excerpt Ziyu and Zhi Wei are hurrying to the Shuai Mansion, along the way Excerpt Ziyu is thinking about this matter of the Zhao official family's addition of Yang Hao's official title: Yang Hao conquered Yinzhou, and took this big city that has always belonged to the Li family in Xiazhou as his own, successfully gained a firm foothold, and attracted the attention of all forces in the Western Regions, but it is foreseeable that as long as Li Guangrui frees his hand, a big war will inevitably occur between the two sides.
Now that Yang Hao has the support of the two states of Linfu and the support of the Seventh Clan, he may barely be able to fight with the entrenched Li Guangrui. However, the title of "Generalissimo of Hexi Longyou" came to Zhao Guanjia, Yang Hao immediately became the target of public criticism, the people looked forward to peace, but the heroes of the Western Regions just wanted to maintain the status quo, no one wanted to suddenly climb up on their heads with a righteous ruler, this time Yang Hao was pushed to the cusp, his current fame and power are seriously incompatible, that is not a good thing.
Although her brother and Yang Chongxun of Linzhou hope that Yang Hao will lead the army in the war against Li Guangrui, and they also intend to make him the leader of this alliance, but if Yang Hao gets this title, it will not be the intentional concession of the two states of Linfu, but from the name and righteousness, it should be the first person in the northwest, will this make the brother and Yang Chongxun jealous, worried that he will become a vassal of Yang Hao from the alliance brother?
Zhao Guanjia so ceremoniously rewarded Yang Hao, will it give such a signal to the Khitans: Yang Hao is the real confidant of the Zhao Guanjia, his unprecedented promotion speed, and his sudden rise in the Western Regions are all because of the secret strong support of the Zhao Guanjia, and now giving him this identity is a precursor for the Zhao Guanjia to officially start the idea of the Western Regions from dark to light, so they can't wait to do something to the Western Regions?
If the Khitan exerted pressure on the Western Regions because of this, and at the same time, his brother and Yang Chongxun were worried that Yang Hao would become a more dangerous overlord than Li Guangrui in Xiazhou, so they would feel guilty, would the Seventh Clan, who are now closer to Yang Hao, and even the Tubo and Hui tribes, abandon him because of the pressure of the Khitan and the estrangement of the two states of Linfu? Yang Hao's rapid rise to prominence in the Western Regions is a miracle, but his foundation is not stable, his strength is limited, and a mishandling will cause a series of problems, and if he wants to collapse, it will be an instant.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, he galloped all the way to the Shuai Mansion, flew off his horse and broke in, but the guards at the door hurriedly stopped him and shouted: "What kind of person dares to trespass into the Shuai Mansion?" Yes! You...... You are ......"
Zhe Ziyu usually dresses up in men's clothes, and these guards at the door only felt familiar when they saw her at first glance, and they had not yet connected her with the white-faced young general who was often by Yang Hao's side, at this time, Zhi Weizheng had already hurried forward, and said in a deep voice: "We have something important to meet with Captain Yang, so go and say goodbye quickly." ”
The soldier recognized Zhi Weizheng, and hurriedly changed his smile and said: "General Zhe, I'm really sorry, it's not that I refuse to give up, but the Lord Taiwei is holding a banquet to entertain the Qincha, so I can't disturb it." And Lord Taiwei has already commanded, if ............"
Excerpt Yu raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "What he invited was just a lieutenant official who passed on the decree, and he was not the current emperor, as for such a grand ceremony?" We have something very important, you go and tell Captain Yang, just take the time to meet me. ”
Although Zhe Ziyu changed into women's clothes and became a sweet-looking, delicate girl like a spring flower, but lightly speaking, she was not angry and arrogant, and seemed to be more imposing than Zhe Weizheng, and the little colonel who was guarding the door was more respectful, and said with a smile: "General Zhe, this girl, Lord Taiwei has already explained to the small, if General Zhe comes, or any person surnamed Zhe comes, you must tell him that tomorrow morning, Lord Taiwei will be waiting for him in the house, today, I really can't take a break, and please go back first and come back tomorrow morning." ”
Zhi Wei Zhengqi said: "Taiwei knew that we would come? It's just a lieutenant, as for such a stutter? ”
The little colonel rubbed his hands together and smiled, "This ...... The little ones don't know. ”
Before Zhi Weizheng could ask again, Zhi Ziyu had already pulled him and said, "Let's go." ”
The two of them pulled the saddle and galloped out of the alley, and Zhi Weizheng couldn't help but say: "Little aunt, do you know the intention of Mrs. Yang's actions?" ”
Zhen Ziyu shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know, I only know, why I came, will I come, Yang Hao has already guessed." Since he made this arrangement, he must have his idea, since he knows our intentions, it is good that he knows the stakes of this matter, as for his intentions...... You'll know tomorrow, so why bother? I'm too lazy to bother with those thoughts......"
Zhi Weizheng secretly glanced at the little aunt, the little aunt said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but looking at her eyebrows and eyes, the clouds were not light, the wind was not light, there was a posture of hidden clouds and the wind was about to come, Zhi Weizheng immediately closed his mouth very familiarly, lest one accidentally sweep the tail of the storm......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the next morning, Jie Ziyu came.
This time, she didn't accompany her, she came alone. The little colonel guarding the door obviously had already been instructed by Yang Hao, and stood at the door early in the morning with his neck stretched to look at the alley, and when he saw that Jie Ziyu had arrived, he hurriedly ran over, took the reins of the horse from her hand, and bent his knees diligently and said: "Folded girl, the little one has been waiting for you for a long time, please dismount." ”
Seeing that the little colonel was so attentive, Zhe Ziyu didn't have a good seizure, she jumped off the horse with one leg off, made the little colonel's thigh into a horse stool, and the deerskin boots lightly fell to the ground, and walked to the Shuai Mansion with her legs, the little colonel led the horse aside, and at the same time greeted the door, and immediately flashed out two guards to lead the Zhezi Yu inside.
Past the front yard, through the instrument door, through the Xuan Hall, is the handsome hall.
The guard let Zhen Ziyu into the Shuai Hall, and as soon as a cup of hot tea was served, Yang Hao arrived.
Zhezi Yu sat down there with a golden knife, and didn't get up when she saw Yang Hao, she forgot that she was wearing women's clothes today by pretending to be a man, and actually set up Erlang's legs, her eyelids were lifted, and she said angrily: "As soon as I got the letter yesterday, I was so anxious that I was like something, hey!" Who knows that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and people are stunned to come with me to make a 'material like a god', okay, now that I'm here, I don't know what the tricky Yang Taiwei wants to say to the little woman. ”
Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her actions, except for her own family, there are not many people who can provoke her to burst out of her true temperament without concealment, Yang Hao likes to see her angry, she seems to be more handsome when she laughs, hmm...... can make her sulk, and Mrs. Yang has a sense of accomplishment.
He laughed and said, "It's not that I want to play tricks, even if I want to play tricks, I won't put a score in front of you, right?" ”
Zhen Ziyu pursed his lips and snorted coldly.
Yang Hao said again: "If you really want to play tricks in front of you, then you must be deliberately showing off in front of beautiful women, not pretending to be mysterious." ”
Zhen Ziyu wrinkled his nose and snorted disdainfully, but the anger on his face was gone. Thousands of clothes are worn, and the sycophants are not worn, especially the man she likes to pat her ass, which is a girl's favorite thing, even if she is reserved and arrogant, she is not exempt from vulgarity.
Yang Hao sat opposite her, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, the eunuch who delivered the decree just arrived yesterday, and the lieutenant didn't have anything, but the people he brought were a lot of spies from the Imperial City Division, and the house was full of people at that time, and it was chaotic, I haven't settled them down yet, I'm just afraid that some of them are good at watching and eavesdropping, and they will hear something that shouldn't be heard, so I asked the guards to block your drive." Now that they have all settled in the inn, I can speak to you. ”
When Zhen Ziyu heard Yang Hao share some "things that others shouldn't hear" with her, the lines at the corners of his mouth softened a little, and Yang Hao said again: "I know why you came, speaking of which, what is the Zhao Guanjia doing to me, others don't know, don't I know it myself?" What kindness can he have towards me, because I recovered Yinzhou and crowned me as the generalissimo of the right soldiers and horses of Hexi Long? Hey, this is roasting me on the fire, how can Li Guangrui, who has always regarded himself as the first feudal lord in the northwest, allow me to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Even if he only wanted to drive me back to Luzhou and take Yinzhou City back, he would definitely kill me under the banner of me, the generalissimo of the right soldiers and horses of Hexi Long.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song family has been weakening the temperance of all parties and taking power from the imperial court, and now the official family is so generous, after hearing about it, the Khitan side must think that I am an important chess piece in the imperial court's plot against the Western Regions. As for Brother Zhe and Brother Yang, hehe, if you think about it in Zhao Guan's family, it can separate me from the two states of Linfu The best relationship. If not, Li Guangrui of Xiazhou must also make a move, which is enough to create a strong enemy for me, and with the variable of Khitan, the northwest will be in a greater war.
This plan dragged the forces of all parties in the entire northwest into a more erosive situation, and the tigers competed with each other, each with its own damage, and at that time the Zhao Guanjia would be able to become famous, pacify the Western Regions as expected, and put his hand in to firmly control the entire Western Regions, which was really a good calculation. ”
When Zhen Ziyu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at him and said, "Since you know the stakes, it's good, this official has already resigned?" ”
"Nope."
Excerpt Ziyu was stunned, Yang Hao said: "The official family made this plan to kill people with a knife and contribute to the chaos in the northwest, which was originally good, but unfortunately, there were two things he didn't know, so this became a stupid trick." ”
"Two things?"
"Yes, this first ......," Yang Hao paused for a moment, and then said word for word: "I have a secret agreement with the Khitan Empress Xiao, and she will not use troops against the Western Regions because of this." ”
Excerpt Ziyu immediately became vigilant: "You...... Already vassal to the Khitan? ”
Yang Hao smiled dumbly and said, "How come? It's just that the Khitan Xiao Hou hugged the Western Regions together, and the independent corner was very happy to see it. ”
Thinking about the current situation in the Khitan Kingdom, and then contacting Yang Hao's words, he couldn't help but nod slightly: "This Xiao Niangniang is shrewd, so what is the other thing?" ”
"Another thing is that the Dangxiang Seven Clan will never abandon me because of the shaking of the two states of Linzhou, even if the Khitan has to intervene, they will not fight with me, not to mention that the Khitan will never send troops?"
Excerpt Ziyu frowned and said, "You just believe in them like that?" The Seventh Clan of the Party violated the Yang and Yin of Xiazhou, and surrendered from time to time during wars, and sometimes invaded and sometimes formed an alliance with the two states of Linfu, and the two ends of the first rat were completely untrustworthy and not credulous. ”
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Struggling to survive among the powerful vassals, if there were no means, they would have been annexed a long time ago, sometimes they used force, sometimes they sought peace, they were also forced by the times, but I and them are not just an alliance, they swore to the god of Baishi, to be loyal to this official, how can they easily break their oath, so that the family is disheartened?" ”
Excerpt Ziyu said movingly: "Swear allegiance to you to the supreme god of the party, Baishimeng?" You...... Who are you? ”
Yang Hao said slowly: "More than thirty years ago, Li Yi died in the Dingyan Army, his brother Li Yiyin usurped the throne, and Li Congke, the emperor of the late Tang Dynasty, recognized his identity, and his brother Li Yi's son, the real young lord of Xiazhou, Li Guangcen, was martyred in the Tubo grassland, I ...... It is the son of Li Guangcen. ”
Zhen Ziyu was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he look at him with strange eyes, and said in surprise: "Li Guangcen is still alive?" You...... Are you the son of Lee Kwang Cen? You are also a descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba clan? ”
Zheziyu is a descendant of the Xianbei Zhelan King, Yang Hao is actually a descendant of the Xianbei royal family Tuoba clan, Zheziyu didn't expect him to have such a big background anyway, Yang Hao smiled and said: "Fei Ye, I am Han, Li Guangcen is my father-in-law, that is, my current deputy envoy of Mu Cen Mu in the Luzhou army." ”
Excerpt Ziyu took a long breath and asked solemnly, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”
Yang Hao carefully explained the cause and effect, and Jie Ziyu understood, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, Yang Hao said again: "Bright this identity, there must be more people from the tribes in the Western Regions who are willing to come to defect, and even if my power is stronger, and with the help of Brother Zhe and Brother Yang, I want to be the enemy of the Li clan, which is known as the first strong domain in the northwest, and the victory or defeat is still between the two, but with this identity, it is enough to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the nobles and nobles within the Li clan with Li Guangrui and disintegrate his forces, as long as they are persuaded to echo inside and outside, and judge the time." , the chieftains of the Tuoba clan will abandon Li Guangrui and give me Yang Hao. ”
Excerpt Ziyu digested this information for a long time before he calmed down and retorted: "Since you have this identity, you don't need this 'Generalissimo of Hexi Longyou' to add icing on the cake." Now you should sting at the right time, accumulate strength, and slowly reveal your identity, with your current prestige and status is enough to attract many unambitious people who want to fight for their military exploits in the Western Regions, why rush to the next level? ”
Yang Hao said gloomily: "Because ...... I don't know how long my father's body can be delayed. Don't reveal your identity now, get the confirmation of the chiefs of the Tuoba clan, and ...... in the future I'm afraid I won't have a chance......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the two of them talked for a long time in the handsome hall, and suddenly a guard outside the door shouted: "The little one has seen Lord Mu En and Lord Mu Kui. ”
Yang Hao slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about them, the recruits just recruited were about to be pulled out for drills, I went out to meet them." ”
Removing Ziyu's head slightly, Yang Hao got up and walked out. Excerpt Ziyu sat in the handsome hall for a while, thinking back to Yang Hao's secret identity and the obedience of the Seventh Clan of the Dang Xiang to him, he especially felt unbelievable. In this way, as long as Yang Hao manages it properly, then the plan to replace Li Guangrui will be successful, and the plan of the Zhao official family to make him the target of the public may instead fulfill his ......, no, I have to go back as soon as possible, tell the news to the eldest brother, let him know the stakes, Yang Hao will replace Li Guangrui, I am afraid it is a foregone conclusion, he is the first feudal domain in the northwest, and it is not bad for a name, the eldest brother can not lose this strong alliance because of a small loss. Besides......, Dong'er and Yanyan will be here today and tomorrow, and it's really embarrassing for me to stay here again......"
Excerpt Ziyu thought, more and more unable to sit down, walked to the outside of the handsome hall to take a look, only to see Yang Hao and Mu Enmukui standing in front of a rockery talking and laughing, not like talking about any business, Jie Ziyu walked out of the handsome hall, walked along the side corridor, opened the sparse flowers and trees, walked to the back of the rockery, and heard Yang Hao laugh and said: "You two are so unproductive, you know that you are going to lead the troops out to practice today, but you are still so indulgent, are the dancers of the big food country who gave you very powerful?" I look at you two, but your legs are a little fluttery......"
Mu En laughed and said: "Amazing, amazing, those two girls are really powerful, if it weren't for my strong body, I really couldn't resist it, his grandmother's, I was almost sucked dry by the two of them, and I almost couldn't get out of bed." ”
Excerpt Ziyu blushed when he heard this, and secretly spat out: "It's such a serious thing, my daughters are so old, and they are still so lascivious." ”
Mu Kui said: "That's nothing, the two of us almost can't get out of bed, are they...... Hehe, but I really can't get out of bed, and I'm still lying there. ”
Yang Hao coughed and said: "You have been fighting horses for half your life, and there should be a woman around you to take care of you, and at this age, you should also leave a queen for yourself, this official gave them to you, that's what it means, but ...... This kind of thing should also be tempered, don't hurt your body, or indulge in women. ”
Mu En hurriedly said: "Don't worry, young master, we can save it, this is not a ...... Belch...... For the first time, a woman is like a wild horse, she has to be tamed before she will obediently obey and never return. ”
Excerpt Ziyu nodded quietly after hearing this, and secretly praised: "Yang Hao's words are still sober, how can a man who does great things be swayed by women?" ”
As soon as she thought of this, Yang Hao squeezed her eyebrows and asked with interest: "How is it, how does the beauty of this big food country taste?" ”
Mu Kui said: "Well......, the skin of this big eater woman is not as delicate and smooth as the women of Middle-earth, and it is as smooth as satin, but they are very good at serving men, and their means are very good. ”
Yang Hao smiled: "Really? Haha, you let them know how powerful you are, and you can be regarded as winning glory for our native boys. ”
Mu Kui joked: "That's, hehe, if you talk about strategic martial arts, your subordinates are not as good as the young master, but such a domineering woman on the bed, if she really changes to the captain, it will be difficult to parry." ”
But all men did not admit that they were inferior in this matter, Yang Hao immediately boasted: "People can't look good, you are underestimating me, hum, I have to teach the secret art in the room, and the ten women of the night emperor are not a problem." ”
Excerpt Ziyu was red-faced, and secretly sighed: "The three guys are shameless enough, they are dignified in front of them, and they all like to talk about these things behind their backs......"
After a few laughs, Yang Hao went back to the topic and said solemnly: "I have very favorable conditions for recruiting troops in the northwest compared to the Central Plains. The soldiers of the Central Plains, stacked hoes to be soldiers, always have to train hard for a long time, and the people of the northwest are fierce, the style of martial arts prevails, the people are good at riding and shooting, and their personal martial arts are not bad, which has a very good foundation, they hunt nomadic herds, and they have long known the skills of cooperating with the war, but at that time it was at most the action of a thousand people, and now you want to train them, whether it is a thousand people, ten thousand people, or one hundred thousand people, you must order and prohibit, the same person, in front of the two armies, personal martial arts are not enough, It is precisely this kind of cooperation with strict military discipline that can play a great role. ”
Mu Enmu Kui said in unison: "Don't worry, young master, we can save it." ”
Yang Hao nodded and said: "Okay, this time I have won Yinzhou City, I have already attracted the attention of all parties, and as soon as my father-in-law arrives in Yinzhou, I will publicly reveal my identity, at that time...... Wind and rain from all sides, I don't know how many hardships you have to go through, your new army, must take shape as soon as possible, whether it is Li Guangrui or Zhao Guangyi, it is not easy to match the generation......"
In the Wende Palace, Zhao Guangyi was discussing with the civil and military ministers, and when Cao Bin finished his opinion, Zhao Guangyi bowed his head and said: "What Cao Qing's family said is reasonable, now using troops, although there are many difficulties, but there are also many opportunities, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again, I decided to send troops in February next year and take the Han Kingdom in one fell swoop." ”
All the civil and military officers bowed in unison and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”
Zhao Guangyi waved his hand with great ambition, and said with a smile: "In this battle, I want to drive the battle in person." I am the commander-in-chief, so that the king of Wu and Yongxing Festival make Dezhao as the vanguard, the first emperor once sent the prince Dezhao to lead the army to attack the Han, but the first emperor died of illness, during the national funeral can not use the soldiers, had to return in vain, this use of soldiers to make the king of Wu as the vanguard, it can be regarded as a fulfillment of the long-cherished wish of the first emperor, the generals should be good to maintain, to help the king of Wu to achieve this great achievement. ”
The generals replied again, Zhao Guangyi's expression suddenly turned sad, and said: "The princess of the kingdom of Qiu, since childhood advocating Buddhism, after the death of the first emperor, the imperial sister-in-law missed the first emperor and came back to serious illness, the princess of the kingdom of Qiu, seeing this, deeply felt the impermanence of life, so she saw through the red dust, intended to become a monk and practice, worship the Buddha and chant sutras, and pray for the imperial sister-in-law. I couldn't persuade her, so I had to fulfill her filial piety, renamed the Qibao Nunnery in the west of the city as 'Chongxiao Nunnery', and gave it to the princess of the Kingdom of Yu to practice. And gave the princess of the country of Yu as the 'Master of Returning Ci Pudu', and gave the Dharma name 'Dingru'. In order to commend the filial piety of the princess of the kingdom of Qiu, on the day of the hair-cutting ceremony, the princes sent the princess of the kingdom of Qiu into the temple with my relatives and gave the ...... of fasting"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Ruoli ran in in a panic, Zhao Guangyi frowned, and was about to accuse him of ignoring the rules, but Gu Ruoli didn't care about looking at his face, and hurriedly ran to him to whisper a few words, Zhao Guangyi's face changed greatly when he heard it, and he lost his voice: "How can this be?" Is he okay? ”
