As the old saying goes, risk is always with profit.

The prince took a risk when his own strength was weak, and he was completely forced to do so, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he was destined to be a pot of raw rice. So far, no one has been willing to be a fool who lifts the lid of the secret war and turns into an open fight, even if fanatical militants like Geng Jin and his son still know how to pay attention to the strategy of struggle. Now the whole world knows that Yang Zhi has the imperial gold medal in his hand, and he is a general who is the commander of the army. No matter which side Ye Chuang is on, as long as he is not a madman, he will not take the liberty of what he does.

In theory, the Imperial Gold Medal is a murder license that can kill people anytime and anywhere. In this world, no matter who he is face-to-face with, Yang Zhi is confident that he does not have to be afraid of anyone. If Ye Chuang is interested in cooperating, he will naturally be happy. Unless he killed Yang Zhi without even taking a shot, if not, he would simply sacrifice the gold medal and kill him!

The whole people of Daxia are martial, and as long as the conditions permit, both military and civilian travel are prevalent in armor and sabers. Speaking from the heart, if the person who worships the general and leads the army is dressed in bright heavy armor and is fully clothed, the protective effect when killing the enemy is self-evident, and it seems to be majestic on weekdays. Yang Zhi naturally doesn't like to be framed, and he has no interest in the transformer-like outfit that weighs more than dozens of pounds and is full of fragments, and he usually has no habit of wearing a sword with him. When the school was inaugurated the night before, in order to prevent the soldiers from misunderstanding his intention to be contemptuous, he took care of his image and put on a pair of armor. Yesterday, when he led the light horse to hurry, he had already thrown off the heavy burden and changed into his usual casual clothes.

In this troubled world, I am not afraid of being used, but I am afraid that I will not even be used by others. Great Xia has always been rewarded for his merits, even if his family background is as prominent as Wei Feiyang, he has to speak with his true ability. Ye Chuang can get the emperor's heavy skills and resourcefulness, which must be good. If Ye Chuang's courage is not inferior to Geng Chao, Yang Zhi asked himself that even if he was surprised, it would be difficult to be sure that he would be killed with one blow. He doesn't have any special requirements for blades, he just wants them to be easy to use. It is unknown what the first meeting with Ye Chuang will be, and for the sake of prudence, Guan Qian temporarily wore a standard single knife used by ordinary sergeants. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Zhi was followed by 4,000 light horses, today's appearance would be no different from the "Ma Wencai" when he rushed to Shandong.

Ye Chuang really led all the generals to greet him in front of the pass.

When I got closer, I saw that the soldiers guarding the pass, whether they were greeting the generals, were all clearly armored and fully armed, and their military appearance was extremely neat, and a high-spirited murderous aura came to their faces. Yang Zhisuo's light cavalry was exhausted after a day and night of galloping without leaving the saddle, although they rested for a while before entering the customs, compared to the hastily recruited local government soldiers. The first person in front of the pass was white-faced and handsome, dressed in a black robe and black armor, and the black horse under his crotch was also a very powerful horse, which must be the current Tongguan guard Ye Chuang.

Yang Zhi couldn't help but secretly applaud: Good soldier and heroic general! This person seems to be similar to Geng Chao, can he be appreciated by the emperor, and he is a tall and handsome super handsome guy? There is a way to be a soldier and a bear, and a nest of bears. There is still the possibility of putting on a show when the military appearance is strictly ordered, but the mental outlook of the generals and soldiers under the tent cannot be pretended. Judging from this point alone, Ye Chuang is by no means an exaggerated bamboo flower pillow. Thinking about preparing for the worst is not overthinking. Once the 4,000 tired soldiers fought with the 50,000 army under the command of this man, it was simply suicide.

Guo Ye Chuang has a different heart, and only when he gets close to him is the only chance to kill him and control Tongguan!

Didn't Ye Chuang look at Yang Zhi in God? Seeing Yang Zhi wearing casual clothes with a lazy smile on his face, revealing the ruffian atmosphere of a street gangster, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Slowly rode his horse forward, and said with a wave of his hand: "The last general, Ye Chuang, led the soldiers of Tongguan to greet the flying tiger marquis!" At the end of the year, I have heard the name of the Flying Tiger Marquis for a long time, and today I can see the abundance, which is really a blessing for three lives! ”

That's what he said, but he didn't say it, and there was little respect in his words. But anyone who has a little ability always has three points of arrogance in his heart. Yang Zhinian is already famous all over the world in the weak crown, Ye Chuang is also young and promising, and he has only heard of the legend about Yang Zhi, and it is reasonable to be a little unconvinced instinctively. You can't ask people to treat you like a father every time they meet like a child who was crazy about chasing stars in their previous life.

Zhi Zai immediately returned the salute and said with a smile: "There are General Lao Ye and the soldiers." The general's prestige and reputation are also like thunder, and it can be said that I have been friends for a long time. Today, I am ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Yue and the four important ministers of the state to lead the troops here, intending to go out of the customs to meet the emperor's holy driving general. ”

Ye Chuang said indifferently: "The last general has to report this news, and he doesn't dare to be lazy, so he will wait here to greet him." Just because of the duty to get off the horse to greet him, please Feihu Hou do not blame the end of the rudeness. ”

After a few words of greetings that were not salty or light, Chuang still had no intention of letting the soldiers and horses led by Yang Zhi enter the customs. Yang Zhideng realized that the so-called words were unfounded, but in fact, Ye Chuang had the same cautious mind as himself, waiting to check the edict of the king of Yue and the survey of the military talismans. The current situation is delicate and the two have never known each other, and Ye Chuang's official business is understandable.

Taking out the joint seal of the ministers with the signature and seal of the King of Yue, and the military order and military talisman signed and sealed by Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, Yuma handed it to Ye Chuang and said with a smile: "General Ye is loyal to his duties, and he is very admirable. The decree of the king of Yue, the military order of General Zhou and the military talisman are here, and please check them. ”

Ye Chuang took it with both hands and carefully inspected them one by one, and carefully returned the three tokens to Yang Zhi with a solemn face. Dismounted and looked at Chang'an, knelt down and bowed three times, and said in a loud voice with an expressionless face: "The last general respectfully obeys the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Yue and the orders of the generals." ”

Only then did he get on his horse again and dodge to the side and said, "Flying Tiger Hou, please!" ”

As soon as Ye Chuang's words fell, he only heard a few extremely neat footsteps, and the Tongguan soldiers who accompanied Ye Chuang to greet him seemed to have a tacit understanding after a long time of training, and retreated to both sides of the city gate with a high degree of consistent movements, making way for a big road.

It was this detail that made Yang Zhi secretly frightened, and he dared not underestimate Ye Chuang: freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Ye Chuang's ability to govern the army and his high prestige in the eyes of the guards can be seen! Ye Chuang's caution is not difficult to understand, but at this moment, the position is not clear, if he has to kill him to seize the pass, causing his subordinates to mutiny, whether he can successfully suppress and avoid being counterattacked, I really don't have the slightest certainty!

The only way to challenge a strong authority is to show that you have another, more powerful one.

Yang Zhi was not in a hurry to lead the army into the customs for a while, and said with a proud smile: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations." Since I have been instructed to lead the troops, I must strictly abide by the military rules. But General Ye, it's not Yang who is arrogant, today I am the edict of the king of Yue, the order of the general and the soldier

There's nothing, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me. ”

Immediately, the old trick was repeated, and he held up the imperial gold medal and shouted: "The soldiers of Tongguan have taken a closer look!" The emperor's gold medal is here! Wherever the gold medal goes, it's like I'm there! Everything can be cut first and then played, the officials of the whole country in Great Xia are at my disposal, and the millions of troops are at my disposal! But if there is a violator, the crime will be punished by the nine clans! ”

Yang Zhi didn't say anything, the emperor did say so at that time. When he first won the gold medal, he didn't plan to show off in the future. Later, I gradually realized that this precious thing is like a universal plaster that cures all diseases, and it works wherever it is pasted, and it really has the effect of trying all kinds of cures. At this time, it is not for anything else, but to prove that it is completely legal to take Ye Chuang's head when necessary, so dig the next step early.

In the more than 20 years since the emperor ascended the throne, Wenzhi was still clear and martial arts were extremely prosperous, and he was widely praised as "wise and martial", and his status in the minds of the subjects of Daxia was comparable to that of the Buddha to Buddhist believers. The royal gold medal of "such as my personal arrival" symbolizes the supreme imperial power, and Yang Zhisuo led the light cavalry because he had seen a time in the school field of the forbidden army camp and went down the mountain to call long live, and bowed his head and bowed. Ye Chuang was stunned for a moment, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he immediately led many guards to follow him to salute. Suddenly, except for Yang Zhi, who was sitting on a high horse, the rest of the people were all ambushed.

Yang Zhi waited for the soldiers to finish bowing, and then put away the gold medal in a hurry: "Please get up!" Enter! ”

The guests and the host have their own hearts, and the spiritual support of thousands of light horses has been very difficult until now, and after entering the customs, someone naturally contacted and settled. Yang Zhi secretly noticed that there was not a trace of the prince's escort soldiers and horses in the city. Even if there may be a sudden change, 4,000 tired soldiers against 50,000 energetic troops is not enough to stuff the teeth. Yang Zhi's imagination hadn't gone crazy to that point, and he didn't specifically tell them anything, just let them go. After entering the Tongguan General and resting for a while, Ye Chuang sent someone to invite: General Ye specially set up a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army to catch the wind and wash the dust for the Feihu Hou and his party.

Yang Zhi always tightened the strings, and Ye Chuangxian was not much easier than him. The two are like the two bettors in their previous lives, and they are looking forward to a good conclusion in the early draw. As the situation gradually progressed and changed, Chuang Yin replaced Yang Zhi and became a crucial figure in determining the direction of the situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Chuang stands on that side, he will have at least a seventy percent chance of winning!

If the dragons have no leader, they will become a rabble, but they do not have to act as useless cannon fodder, and it is easier to save their lives. This time is different from the past, if it is a conflict with the Turks, Yang Zhi will definitely not have this compassionate thought. On such an occasion, it is in vain to put on any pomp. Yang Zhi agreed, still dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a waist knife, called five captains to the banquet together, and specially told them that they didn't need to bring any personal soldiers.

Yang Zhi's hard words of rushing to Tongguan in front of the prince's guards and horses and eating the first big meal in the twenty-sixth year of Wucheng have become a reality, and the vanguard cavalry who greeted him felt most relaxed when they entered the pass. The army has always been highly hierarchical, and it is a great honor for a junior officer at the rank of lieutenant to be selected by a big man like Yang Zhi to go to the battle. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to drink at the same table with famous senior generals like Yang Zhi and Ye Chuang, where can I think about anything else?

Ye Chuang's subordinates were all lieutenants and generals, and when they saw that Yang Zhi had only brought five captains, he couldn't help but be stunned again. There were no less than ten tables of wine banquets set up in the huge line, so that there were several tables left, and the empty ones made people feel deserted, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

With a smile, he pulled Ye Chuang to sit in the first seat: "The only people who will enter the customs with me today are the four thousand light horsemen who came to fight the front station, and the other 16,000 people and horses will arrive at the afternoon tomorrow at the earliest." General Ye was so hospitable, it was really polite! ”

Ye Chuang's reaction was not slow, and he immediately ordered the extra tables of wine and banquet to be taken down, and ordered to be sent to the camp of the soldiers and horses. He replied with a stiff expression: "The Flying Tiger Marquis has been tired all the way on the saddle horse, and the last general will be treated with a little discretion, which is a matter of course. It's just that according to the Great Xia military system, anyone who has a military order is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol. Today is the beginning of the new year, and it is inevitable that Feihu Hou and a group of Yingjia brothers are too wronged. ”

For Ye Chuang, Yang Zhi is the dual identity of the minister and the general, the two have met for the first time, and he said that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he still refuses to drink in violation of discipline, which shows that this person is very principled.

Yang Zhiben is not addicted to alcohol, and at this time, there is a murderous intention in his heart, and he does not need to drink. didn't care about it at all, Dafang raised the teacup and said with a smile: "Military orders are like mountains, and those who command the army should be righteous people and correct themselves first, how can they be offended casually?" Cheng Pu Zengyun, a famous general in Eastern Wu in the past: Friends with Zhou Gongjin, if you drink alcohol, you don't feel drunk. Although you and I are meeting for the first time, we also feel the same way. As the saying goes, tea is made when affection is strong, and today I will replace wine with tea to pay tribute to General Ye and the soldiers of Tongguan! ”

Yang Zhi compared Ye Chuang with Zhou Yu, which was to present a sky-big high hat, which gave Ye Chuang enough face. Ye Chuang hurriedly got up and held a cup and said humbly: "Thanks to the Flying Tiger Marquis, the last general will not dare to be ashamed!" ”

In the past three days, Yang Zhi has not eaten a good meal. If you want to fight and kill, you have to fill your stomach to have the strength, and when you put down the teacup, you honestly and unceremoniously dragged a fat chicken, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and no one else chewed it. Yang Zhifangcai's words were modest, and the anti-guest was so stirred up, many generals in Tongguan felt that he didn't have the slightest shelf, and the atmosphere on the scene changed greatly. But Lieutenant General Zota was a rough man, and without wine to entertain him, the meal was still dull.

While Yang Zhi was feasting, he was full of nonchalant smiles. And the awe-inspiring look in Ye Chuang's eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and he asked casually: "Flying Tiger Marquis, the last general heard that the Holy Driver was attacked several times on the way to the class division, I don't know if the Flying Tiger Marquis will go out of the pass immediately after the follow-up soldiers and horses come to meet?" Or are you going to rest in Tongguan for a few days? ”

Yang Zhi ate very fast, and a fat chicken had already eaten after a while. wiped his greasy mouth casually, burped with satisfaction, and asked rhetorically, "Go out of the customs and drive?" Why should I go out of the country? Since the general had heard that the Holy Driver had been attacked several times, he must have heard something else. My follow-up soldiers and horses can go to Tongguan before sunset tomorrow, and if it is not bad, the prince's escort should arrive at the day after tomorrow at the latest. Isn't it okay for me to just wait here? General Ye, what do you say? ”
