When Zhen Ziyu went, his whereabouts were unknown. Yang Hao also panicked, and looked for a few rì with Zhi Yuxun, and searched all possible places, but there was no trace of her. Zhi Yuxun was annoyed, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It's not worrying, it's really worrying, I've spoiled her since I was a child, and I can't even find her whereabouts with the wind, where can a girl's family go?" ”

Yang Hao also came to his senses at this time, remembering that since she met with Jie Ziyu, she is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, especially in her respectful status, so she is thin-skinned and good-looking, and she can't stand to be ashamed. The matter itself is not a big deal, but it is a contest between her and her wife before marrying into the Yang family at the order of her eldest brother, and the subtle meaning in it is not so simple, I am afraid that she will not be humiliated and will not go home for a while.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao folded Yuxun and said: "Brother is heading west, eldest brother can't leave Fuzhou for a long time, please go back to the town as soon as possible, with the strength of you and me, even if you don't stop looking for it at night, how many places can you search?" What's more, it's inconvenient to post a list in this matter, and it's written all over the world. Not long after Ziyu handed over 'Suifeng', she was clear about the hidden pile eyeliner of 'Suifeng' in various places, if she didn't want to let people see it, how could 'Suifeng' find her? It's up to me to do this, and I'll let Flying Feather secretly search for it. ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "Don't make a noise after my brother returns to Fuzhou, this should never happen, anyway, Ziyu often leaves the mansion, so it won't cause people to be suspicious." Otherwise, everyone will know about it, and even if Ziyu wants to go back, it will be difficult to get into the sheath. ”

There is no other way to fold Yuxun, and it makes sense to think about it carefully, so he followed Yang Hao's instructions. I went back to Fuzhou. Sending away Zhe Yuxun, Yang Hao returned to the mansion, sat down in the flower hall, and said with a calm face: "Call Erniang to come." ”

When a few maids in the hall saw the old man's face, they hurriedly went to summon someone. Yan Yan is in the hands of Fei Yu, and he has long known the development of the situation, and seeing that even the people of the Zhi family can't find the whereabouts of Ji Ziyu, he knows that this time the matter is really big, and these people are really a little worried.

At the beginning, she was bullied by Ziyu, if her xìng son was as arrogant as Ziyu, she would have been so angry that she vomited blood, and now although time has passed, but when she thinks of old grievances, it is inevitable that there is still some mustard. She knew that Zhen Ziyu would definitely marry into the Yang family and be a sister to her, so she deliberately provoked her and provoked her to anger, not only to give her a dismount, but also to show off Yang Hao's love for her, in the final analysis, she just wanted to raise her eyebrows in front of her old rival.

But I don't want to use her big grinning xìng to make a big fuss. She treated others with herself, thinking that it was not a big deal to stimulate the evil anger of Jie Ziyu. But I don't want to raise a hundred kinds of people with the same rice, Zheziyu is completely different from her, and somehow, she is a few years older, and her temper seems to be more fierce than in the first few years, and even the Zhe family can't find her whereabouts this time.

Tang Yanyan timidly entered the flower hall, and the girls retreated with interest. Yang Hao's face sank and said: "The whereabouts of the girl are unknown so far. ”

Tang Yanyan snorted and said, "Concubine...... The concubine already knows. ”

Yang Hao said: "The new army with the last batch of training will arrive in Xiazhou immediately, the army of 80,000 can't control the consumption of rice and grain here, and as soon as he arrives, I will lead the army to the west." I'll leave it to you to find the girl. ”

Tang Yanyan peeked at his face, knowing that he was really angry this time, so he didn't dare to be coquettish to him anymore, so he replied in a low voice.

Yang Hao calmed his face, got up and walked out, Tang Yanyan panicked for a while, and hurriedly said: "Official." ”

Yang Hao stood still, but did not look back, Tang Yanyan twisted the corner of his clothes, and said in a low voice: "I...... I didn't think it would get into trouble, I just wanted to vent a little evil, official, Yanyan...... I know ...... wrong."

"Oh?" Yang Hao slowly turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

"I ......"

Yang Hao sighed and said tiredly: "Yanyan, you have paid me a lot, how can I not know in my heart?" But to Ziyu, do I owe her less? You also know that she is arrogant. I can't stand the humiliation, ...... you do this, alas, you are already very tired of being busy with business for your husband. When I get home, I just hope it's easier, you're all very smart women, I really don't want to talk too much......"

Tang Yanyan looked at his back, remembering his lonely expression in the past few days and the words implied just now, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, she was crying on the desk, and she was suddenly tapped twice on the shoulder, and she quickly wiped her tears and looked up, it was Dong'er who was about to give birth. Yan Yan hurriedly got up and helped her sit down, sobbing and said, "Why is my sister here?" ”

Dong'er sat down beside her and smiled softly: "It's not because of you heartless girl, speaking of which, Miss Zhe and the official knew each other the earliest, but the two of them were the most bumpy." After so many years, the girl has paid a lot for the officials, and she has never married, do you still know the affection in your heart? She must enter the door of our Yang family sooner or later, isn't it good for sisters to get along harmoniously. It's so important to give her a dismount and a bad breath? ”

"Yanyan, try your best to get her back, even if you apologize in person, it's not a shameful thing, if you really want to fight, you can fight for who has the heaviest weight in the hearts of officials. How to make the officials value you, is it based on the open and secret struggle between sisters? The official is a jīng Ming person, but he just puts his mind on official affairs, at home. As long as it is harmless, he pretends to be ignorant, but if he really has any calculations, he can't hide it. Let's just say that this time, although the girl is full of martial arts and is a clever person, but this northwest place is not as good as the Central Plains, in case she has a ...... with three long and two short, I'm afraid ...... It's a lifelong illness in the hearts of officials......"

Tang Yanyan was remorseful and muttered, "I...... I know. I'll do my best to get her back. Sister, or sister is the best for me. ”

Dong'er said: "There are a few of you who help the officials, and now I only raise the baby in the back house with peace of mind, how do you know these things, this is what the baby told me, I'm afraid that you won't be able to open it, and I'm afraid that the officials will really annoy you." Yanyan, the sisters are together, occasionally fighting for the wind and jealousy, pleasing the officials, that is the fun of the family, it does not hinder others, but if you don't know the severity, let the officials be lazy to see the intrigue and get tired of going home, then it's ......, do you understand? ”

Tang Yanyan was stunned, of course she understood that she was born in the Tang family, which was a rich and rival country, and her uncles, brothers, and concubines were all in the family, and she was used to this kind of situation for a long time. In such a family, how can a man worry that he does not have a delicate and lovely woman as a companion? Therefore, the more pampered and arrogant a woman is, the easier it is to fall out of favor.

At the beginning, Zhen Ziyu just left in a rage, what is the attitude of the officials. When she is always missing, what is the official like? If...... She really had three long and two short ...... because of this runaway, and the more Tang Yanyan thought about it, the more chilled he became......

Dong'er said softly: "It's really for the officials." If you really want to please the likes of officials, you have to collect your proud feathers, if the girl is smart enough, she will understand this sooner or later, but it doesn't matter if she understands later, you frizzy xìngzi, if you don't know how to converge, then you have to regret it. ”

Tang Yanyan said gloomily: "No wonder the officials respect and love my sister, Yanyan is really not as good as you." I...... I'm going to send someone to her! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The last batch of recruits trained in Luzhou is about to rush to Xiazhou, and it means the beginning of the western expedition, and Yang Hao is bound to no longer be distracted by the search for Ziyu, and this matter cannot be publicized publicly, so it can only be handed over to "Feiyu".

The matter has been explained to Yan Yan, but Yang Hao is not at ease, afraid that she will not be angry in her heart, and Yang Feng will disobey, so she ordered the dog to secretly supervise. If Yan Yan is still emotional and doesn't know the severity, he will remove her from all her positions and let her only be a Madame Yang with peace of mind.

Yang Hao also knows that he is a little too indulgent to these wives and concubines, but between husband and wife, there can always be strict discipline like between subordinates and subordinates, there will always be some friction between husband and wife, between wives and concubines, and there can be no thunderstorm as soon as something happens. So as long as it's not too out of line, he will turn a blind eye and don't bother to pay attention to it. The relationship between the wives and concubines has always been good, plus they are all smart, they know how to advance and retreat, and they have always been at peace with each other, and this time, he is really a little angry.

Dog, Flame Flame and Bamboo Yun are the core of the core of the 'Flying Feather' organization, and they are the three giants of this intelligence organization. Yang Hao has set up two or three important positions in any important function, regardless of relatives or relatives, and maintains the formulation of mutual checks and balances and supervision of his functions, so as to prevent people from abandoning things or someone covering the sky with one hand.

Zhu Yun personally trained secret spies, this is her capital, in 'Fei Yu', the personnel aspect of Fei Yu, is actually in the hands of Zhu Yun. Tang Yanyan, as a wife, can't hold her hostage. Tang Yanyan is in charge of the allocation of 'Flying Feather's funds and property, as well as the final summary and reporting of intelligence. And the dog's status is even more special, she is only responsible for Yang Hao alone, responsible for the safety work related to Yang Hao, as well as all personnel transfers and property transfers within this scope, and her duties are not subject to the authority of Zhuyun and Yanyan.

As for the issuance of orders, it is the responsibility of an organization similar to the Secretariat, whose sole mission is to receive orders, convey them, and report them for reference. The orders of the leaders at all levels of 'Feiyu', including Yang Hao, are all issued through this department, and the orders issued by a certain leader can be accessed by the officials at the next higher level, which ensures internal transparency to a certain extent.

Yang Hao knew how important the secret service organization was, but he also knew that once it became a privileged institution controlled by someone, it could turn the clouds and rain, and even play with the supreme ruler on his head. Therefore, it is necessary to play its role, but also try to avoid that in the process of development, it gradually becomes a private tool of a powerful figure in a secret service organization.

He did not suspect that Tang Yanyan would have ill intentions towards him, or that he might have such ambitions or powers**, but he established a corresponding system for the establishment of all institutions from the very beginning, and constantly revised and supplemented them in his actual work to make it more perfect and more rigorous.

Dependence on the system may not be the most perfect, but even if human beings have developed to the level of civilization of his time, relying on the system is still far more secure than relying on the leader's impartial, selfless personal character, wisdom, and knowledge level.

Of course, after many years, one of his successors could single-handedly overthrow the system established by his founder, and this was no longer in his consideration. Because he knows the future well, he has been entangled in changing the future, but now he has gradually understood that no matter how powerful he is, he can only live well in the present and create the present.

The future is in the hands of the people of the future, and it is not within his control. How can a person, who is often unable to arrange the fate of his son, arrange a path for people hundreds of years and thousands of years from now, so that they can unanimously obey and obey? This is as stupid as those emperors who want to cultivate immortals and learn the Tao and live forever, after thinking about this, Yang Hao has become much more open-minded.

The results of the Dog Inspector were sent back, and Yan Yan did spare no effort to organize people to find the whereabouts of Zhe Ziyu, and did not disobey Yang Feng yīn and discount his orders. Yang Hao put his mind at ease, put aside his family affairs for the time being, and began to concentrate on planning westward expansion.

He transferred the seed to Xiazhou, because he wanted to personally conquer the Western Regions, and Ding Chengzong and Chongfang would sit in Xiazhou. In the past two years, his performance in civil governance and martial arts has won the respect and convincing of officials at all levels of the Jiedu Embassy, and he deserves to be awarded such an important task. And Ding Chengzong is Yang Hao's eldest brother, and no one will doubt his loyalty, so Ding Chengzong was appointed as the queen of Jiedu, acting as the envoy of Jiedu, and the deputy envoy of Jiedu, presiding over the affairs of rì.

Outside the ancient Great Wall, the east line of Hexi, with the two states of Linfu backed by Hengshan, is the first line of defense, the two states of Yin and Lu rely on Hengshan as the second line of defense, and the pass of the ancient Great Wall is the third line of defense, and each line of defense is jointly defended by Yang Jiye and Fuzhou Zheyuxun. The second line of defense was held by Yang Jiye and Li Yide.

In the south, the encroachment on the Tubo people was suspended, and the Song army in Qinzhou had turned from hostility to ambiguity, and the Tubo Shangbo Qianbu, Dashi Clan, Xiaoshi Clan, An Family, and Yan Family were handed over to his fourth brother Chibangsong and the Rodan patriarch of the Tubo Liugu Tribe, who gradually grew stronger under his support.

Chi Bangsong used his status as a prince to divide and disintegrate the tribes, trying his best to win their support for Yang Hao, while Rodin played the big stick to curb their development by force, and the two of them sang red face and black face, which was extremely lethal to those large and small loosely organized Tubo tribes. Although the Tibetan leaders such as Shang Boqian, Bald Kui, and Wang Nizhu grew in power with the support of the Song State, they were not as noble as Chi Bangsong and Luo Dan in terms of blood. This was enough for Chibangsong and Rodin to offset some of their power advantage among the Tibetan tribes who still maintained slavery.

After completing the arrangements for Xiazhou and the deployment of the eastern and southern routes, Yang Hao went all out and began to plan westward. In the ......mobilization of troops, the reserve of grain and grass, weapons and ordnance, logistics and transportation, and intelligence espionage, he also transcribed many copies of the detailed geographical maps of the mountains and rivers of the westward route that he had painstakingly obtained and distributed them to the generals of various departments. After two years of recuperation, Yang Hao began one of the largest battles for the first time, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Western Regions Ancient Road.

The White Tiger Festival, the highest-level military meeting before the expedition.

There are only six people, Yang Hao, Chongfang, Zhang Pu, Ding Chengzong, Xiao Yan, Xu Xuan, the highest-ranking officials in the military and political circles.

After some deliberation, Yang Hao concluded: "This expedition is of far-reaching significance to consolidate and strengthen my political power, in terms of generals, this marshal will take Zhang Pu as the deputy marshal, Mu En, Mu Kui, Ai Yihai, Li Huating, He Bining as the generals, Tuoba Haofeng, Li Jitan, Zhang Chongwei stayed in Xiazhou with the adults. Do you have any suggestions? ”

Xu Xuan arched his hand and said: "Tai Lieutenant, our army has recovered the homeland of China, and the military power is pointed directly at the outside of Yumen Pass, this is a dignified battle, a brilliant move, before sending troops, there should be a text, announced in the world." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan, Chongfang, and Ding Chengzong responded in unison, Yang Hao realized, and said: "Reasonable, with the knowledge of all adults, it is easy to write a sonorous and righteous text, but the tone of this text must be set first, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Yan arched his hand and said: "Taiwei, the homeland of the Western Regions, there are millions of my Han people, Taiwei set out this time to restore my homeland of China and save the people of the Han family who are the same ancestors and ancestors from distress, and I should reiterate this point." The Western Regions are miscellaneous, barbarians, uneducated, take advantage of my China, no one in China, wild foxes ascend to the base, Mu monkey and crown, steal the Han land, and dominate the Han people.

Fortunately, the way of heaven is good, Taiwei dominates the northwest, the revival of all industries, and the people's minds govern, so Fengtianwei, clear China, restore my homeland, and save my Han people, this is the move of Shun Tian, with the size of my China, the people of Kyushu, the soldiers are pointed, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, when it can plow its court and hoe its hole, Hu Lu is small, should bow his head and be willing to be a servant. If not, the power of the army will come, and the jade will be burned! ”

Xu Xuan shook his head, stroked his palms and sighed: "There is a sound on the ground, Lord Xiao is so courageous, Xu is still chewing words, and the adult is already exporting." Such an angry spirit of swallowing heaven and earth is really a good article, in this way, millions of Han people in the Western Regions will inevitably return to their hearts, what does Taiwei think? ”

Yang Hao almost said the word "", but Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan are both literati, and they can't compare to the generals, so it doesn't matter if they joke at will, so he shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's Hu Lu again, and Xiaoxiao again, so where will Mu Enmu Kui, and many Khitan, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Hui and even Qiang soldiers in our army?" ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "There are more than 50 ethnic groups in the Khitan country, in order to respect the habits of all ethnic groups, to bring the upper and lower hearts together, with the arrogance and barbarism of the Khitan people, it is still known that each according to its own tribe and customs, and set up the south and north courtyards to properly settle the Han people, sixty years later, now the Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun are more pro-Khitan, or still yearn for the Central Plains, you should know, right?" ”

He changed his sitting posture and said: "Speaking of the Song Kingdom, there are also many ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Yao, Gelao, Zhuang, Li, She, etc., and there are also special military branches of various ethnic groups such as Tugu Hun Zhi, Khitan Zhi, and Rì Benzhi in the forbidden army, which are also treated equally, so that they can be naturalized." The water in the world is greater than the sea, why? Guy Wan Chuan Nazhi. There are not only millions of Han Chinese in the Western Regions, but also millions of people of other nationalities, and as soon as this article came out, they were all pushed to the enemy's position. ”

Zhang Pu said: "What the marshal said is that Zhang Yi Cháo Yiqi was swept away, swallowed thousands of miles, occupied the eleven continents of the Western Regions in an instant, and became the first overlord of the Western Regions above Tubo and Hui, but then his power gradually shrank, and now his descendants are only left in Guasha and Shuang, struggling." The reason is that they degrade other tribes, and there are endless wars between them. The Han people in the Western Regions suffered deeply, from supporting it to abandoning it. ”

Xiao Yan and Xu Xuan were originally the former ministers of the Tang State in the heart of the Central Plains, and they didn't feel deep in this regard, so they had this to say, but after listening to what Yang Hao said and Zhang Pu's confirmation at this moment, they couldn't help but feel reckless and nodded yes.

Yang Hao said: "This article, first, the style of writing should use less magnificent rhetoric and biased words, otherwise, I am afraid that in addition to some erudite Confucians who have the intention to belong to this handsome, there are few people who can understand it, and it will lose its meaning, so it must be concise and straightforward, so that most people can understand." Second, in terms of the concept, it is necessary to emphasize the important role of the ancient road in the western regions of the Hexi Corridor. You know, in the past, the Hexi Corridor was used as a business route, and the east and west were exchanged bravely, and the wealth of Hexi was rich in the world, who was not benefited by it, and now?

Let everyone know that now the forces of all parties are intertwined and fighting each other endlessly, so that the wars in the Western Regions have been continuous for more than a hundred years, and the people of all ethnic groups have suffered from it. The people, rich and poor, were all war-torn and plundered, leaving no grass behind, and the trade routes in the Western Regions were cut off, so that the people had no livelihood, and the cities in the westward were gradually depressed. And this commander wants to open up the trade road in the Western Regions, so that our army can protect it, revitalize Hexi, and let all the tribes in the Western Regions and the people of the Quartet benefit from it. Agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, all they want is food and clothing, so they can see their own benefits. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "I understand what Lord Xiao said, this matter is to be mentioned, but it must not be intensified contradictions, China's thousands of years of etiquette, righteousness, morality, poetry, books and canons, can not be passed on, will be annihilated, the commander will send troops, this is to defend the Tao and protect Confucianism." Shilin of the Western Regions should also be supported. Also, the war in the Western Regions is endless, not only the people suffer, even the Buddhist monasteries, but also many of them are looted and burned by the tyranny, so that the monks wander all over the world, and they are not allowed to worship the Buddha and meditate. ”

Yang Hao straightened up and said, "Those who have vested interests who are neither willing to surrender nor leave, if they want to defeat them, they just need to use force." However, in order to gain a firm foothold, it is necessary to have the support of the people of the territory under its jurisdiction. Therefore, we must march westward in a dignified manner, not to make yīn plots, not to declare war, and to make our intention and determination to fight, and the goal we want to achieve, so that the people of the Western Regions who speak the languages of different nationalities and know the languages of different nationalities can be understood, known, and willing, and strive for all the strength that can be fought for! ”

“…… The ancient road is like a dragon, and it has been tragically broken. The desert wind is Xiao, Dunhuang leaves the sect, outside the Yumen Pass, the carriages and horses wither ......, I would like to be sincere, announce the world, the generalissimo of the right soldiers and horses of Hexi Long, the envoy of the difficult festival, the envoy of the Hengshan festival, the captain of the inspection school, the opening of the palace and the three divisions of Yang Hao are angry and angry, and Zhi'an Sheji. Now seeing the withering of Hexi, I feel the responsibility of a body, lead the dignified teacher, stop the thief and the people, reopen the ancient road, and make peace with things, this great benevolence and righteousness are also. Where the flag goes, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish......"

In the sonorous and powerful words, Yang Hao's banner is spreading, 80,000 tigers, out of Xiazhou, across the Hanhai, the Yellow River, over Shatuo, along the ancient road of the Great Wall, mighty, straight to the first stop of the Western Expedition: Xiliangfu.
