Chapter 5 Dunhuang Chess

It was already very late at night, and a light carriage came to a big mansion next to the Taishou Mansion under the escort of more than a dozen family members, which was the official post of Dunhuang County, where Yang Yuanqing lived, the carriage stopped, and Xiao Yinyin, the head of the Xiao family, got out of the carriage. ，

She is dressed up very beautifully today, with a high bun, makeup on her face, thin eyebrows and almond eyes, and the charm is still there, wearing a bright blue long skirt with gold edges, and a red silk on her shoulders, although she is in her thirties, she has no children, and still maintains the unique mature charm of the Xiao clan women.

She walked up the steps and said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Please tell General Yang that Xiao Yinyin has been summoned to meet you!" ”

The soldiers guarding the door turned around and went in, although Xiao Yinyin was threatened by Yang Yuanqing today and was forced to compromise with other families, but at the same time, she also found that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for the Xiao family, as Yang Yuanqing said, the Xiao family is rich and powerless, and any strong high-ranking official can clean them up, so can the Xiao family find Yang Yuanqing as the backstage?

Xiao Yinyin didn't have any bottom in her heart, she really couldn't think of what capital she could come up with, she used to be capital herself, but now she has no confidence.

In the room, Yang Yuanqing was listening to several iron guards report to him about the recruitment, today's recruitment was very smooth, it was originally planned to recruit 2,000 soldiers, but by the evening, 3,000 people had been recruited, and 18 civilian officers had also been finalized, this result made Yang Yuanqing very satisfied.

At this time, a soldier's report came from outside the door, "General Qiyu, there is a lady surnamed Xiao who asked to see her, saying that the general asked her to come." ”

"Let her in!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled at several iron guards: "You all retreat!" I have something else. ”

He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw several guards looking at him with strange expressions, "What's wrong?" ”

"Childe, it's so late, do you still call that Mrs. Xiao family?"

Yang Yuanqing understood the meaning of a few iron guards, and scolded with a smile: "Where do you guys want to go, she is a lady, a woman in her thirties, will I have thoughts about her?" ”

Although Yang Yuanqing said this, several iron guards still smiled strangely, they were a little unconvinced, now it's a watch, how can ordinary people meet at this time, and it is said that this woman is famous and charming, Yang Dalang couldn't help but remind Yang Yuanqing, "Son, it is estimated that the housewife is praying for you at this time!" ”

Yang Yuanqing couldn't do anything about them, so he had to smile and say, "Da Lang, then you are next to us!" ”

Although the guards all liked Minqiu's housewife, they didn't dare to really interfere with Yang Yuanqing's private life, they all left with a smile, and Yang Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning, why did this Xiao Yinyin come now, did she have any ideas?

In a moment, the soldier led Xiao Yinyin in, and closed the door again, a faint aroma came to his face, Xiao Yinyin gave a salute, and said with a charming smile: "I'm really sorry to disturb the general so late." ”

"Madame, please be seated!"

Yang Yuanqing saw that her eyebrows and eyes were wearing heavy makeup, her lips were bright red, and her dress was also very tight, deliberately revealing the plump curves of women, full of a kind of bewitching atmosphere, the sense of elegance when she saw her during the day was gone, I don't know why, Yang Yuanqing suddenly thought of Yang Lihua, although Yang Lihua is older than her, but Yang Lihua's noble and dignified temperament is difficult for any woman to compare, including Xiao Yinyin in front of her, she is not worthy of Yang Lihua at all, Yang Yuanqing just had a little good impression of her during the day, Then it disappeared again.

He smiled faintly and said: "Invite Madame over, it's a matter of discussion, I heard that the Xiao family has a caravan that often goes to the Western Regions to do business, is that so?" ”

Some words don't need to be said, they can be expressed with body language, or tone hints, or using an atmosphere in the room, Yang Yuanqing sat up straight, looked serious, and talked to her about business, which made Xiao Yinyin suddenly realize that she was wrong, Yang Yuanqing is not the kind of person who is easily moved by women, her self-esteem makes her feel ashamed, she is humiliating herself and degrading herself.

In fact, this is her nearly 20 years of life experience decided, she first married Ma Chongbing, and then married Zhao Hao, all with her body to make transactions, for the interests of the family, today she unconsciously embarked on the old road, but after all, she is the head of a family, when she suddenly realized that this road did not work, she immediately changed her posture, the spring in her eyebrows was gone, and she became a dignified woman with heavy makeup.

Xiao Yinyin's smile was no longer flattering, she became calm and calm, she nodded, "The Xiao family does have a caravan that often goes to the Western Regions to trade. ”

**'s heart disappeared, Xiao Yinyin regained her usual shrewdness, her thinking turned quickly, she suddenly thought of something, and blurted out, "Does General Yang want to fight Yiwuguo?" ”

"How did you think I was going to fight Igo Country?" Yang Yuanqing asked a little surprised, how could this woman guess?

"It's very simple, most of the Tiele tribes have broken away from the Western Turks, but this Yiwu country is still a slave country of the Western Turks, and the power of a country is in the hands of Tutun sent by the Turks, but the Yiwu country has choked the door of the Western Regions, and the Sui army wants to open the Western Regions, and the roadblock of the Yiwu country must be kicked away."

"I didn't expect Madame to be very discerning!"

The coldness in Yang Yuanqing's eyes disappeared, and it was replaced by an appreciative gaze, it is indeed not easy for a woman to have this kind of strategic mind, she can become the head of the family, and she is also outstanding.

"Then I want to ask Madame, is Madame connected with Igo Kingdom?"

"There is trade, the caravans of the Xiao family often go to Yiwu to do business, the melons, peach wine and snow lotus of Yiwu are all high-quality goods, and the cloth, silk and pottery of Dunhuang are very popular in Yiwu, three years ago, I also saw their king Sip."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I hope Madame can help Sui Jun." ”

"Yes, the Xiao family is willing to provide all the help that the general wants, including people and property, only the Xiao family has it, and everything can be given to the general, but I want to make it clear that the Xiao family is not helping the Great Sui, but helping the general, this is just a personal relationship."

Yang Yuanqing somewhat understood what Xiao Yinyin meant, and he asked with a smile, "Then what do you want?" ”

Xiao Yinyin's apricot eyes flashed with a shrewd luster unique to businessmen, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course I have conditions, General Yang said that the Xiao family is rich and powerful, and it really comes to my heart, I hope that General Yang can become the power of the Xiao family." ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, this is not what he thinks, but he not only wants to become the clan of the Xiao family, but he also wants to become the Han people in the entire Dunhuang County.

．．．．．．．．

Xiao Yinyin left, and Yang Dalang was called into the room by Yang Yuanqing.

"Sit down!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled: "It's not what you think, right?" ”

Yang Dalang was a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "Childe, I'm sorry, I thought too much." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "In fact, it is a man's nature to like women, but it is necessary to divide the occasion and the situation, and not to be passive, to be led by the nose by a woman, if a man can't even resist the most basic female temptation, what else can he do, Da Lang, you have to remember what I said." ”

Yang Dalang nodded silently, and Yang Yuanqing stopped mentioning the matter and turned the topic to business, "What is your original surname and what is your name?" ”

Yang Dalang was stunned for a moment, "Childe, why are you asking this?" ”

"Leave it alone, answer me first."

Yang Dalang thought for a moment and said: "I am an orphan, my father died early, everyone calls me Pig Baby, this is my nickname, I forgot my surname, I only remember my mother's surname Li." ”

"Like me, my mother's surname is Lee."

Yang Yuanqing smiled, his face gradually became serious, "From now on, your name is Li Zhu, the pearl of Baozhu, you will stay in Dunhuang, responsible for training and commanding the three thousand newly recruited troops, I will let you find a way to make you the governor of Dunhuang County." ”

Yang Dalang's heart was in a mess, he knew that the young master was not joking, he knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing, and wept: "I prefer to follow the young master." ”

Yang Yuanqing patted his broad shoulder and said to him gently, "Do you remember the other nine iron guards?" They are all in Youzhou, they all have their own new names, they are all mixed very well, the boss Yang Jiachen is now the Eagle Yang Lang General, not only him, but also two people are also mixed with the Eagle Yang Lang General, this is what I want to see, you can't be an iron guard for the rest of your life, I want to arrange a way out for each of you, whether it is good or not, then it depends on yourself. ”

Yang Dalang sighed lowly, and a thousand tastes poured into his heart,......

The army rested for three days, and the military supplies and food transported by Zhangye also arrived in Dunhuang, and the army began to reorganize and was about to set off.

In a large tent, Yang Yuanqing was talking to 18 young civil officials, all of whom were children of large families in Dunhuang County, most of whom had achieved academic success and were physically strong and suitable for military life.

Looking at the young and energetic faces, most of these young people were ten years old, as old as Yang Yuanqing, which made Yang Yuanqing feel that he belonged to them.

"From today on, you will officially become a member of the army, although you are civilian officials, but you will also see blood, face death, and ordinary soldiers, you also have to fight on horseback, but you are different from ordinary soldiers, you will have the opportunity to become a magistrate in the future, the army is just a place to hone your mind, only after a battle is fought, your mind will gradually become stronger, in order to undertake great things, a person only experience death, he will calmly face all challenges, follow me Yang Yuanqing, I believe, Each and every one of you will have a bright future. ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that everyone's eyes were shining with a kind of expectation, this was a group of enthusiastic and idealistic young people, he smiled slightly, "Now I need to get to know everyone, please tell me your name, and where is your ancestral hometown?" It starts with you! ”

Yang Yuanqing's gaze turned to the first young man with an elegant demeanor but a sturdy figure, he got up and saluted: "In Xia Xiaojin, the ancestral home is Jiangling. ”

"Under Xie Sili, from Jinling."

．．．．．．

Everyone signed up one by one, and at this time there was a commotion outside the tent, and a soldier ran to the door and said: "General, there is a strange person in the barracks, and he also asks to join the army!" ”

．．．．．
