Li Zixiong is about 40 years old today, has been in the army for 25 years, and has made a lot of military achievements for the Great Sui...... He participated in the battle of Pingchen in the sixth year of the emperor, is the confidant of Yang Su, the commander of the West Road, he is especially good at water warfare, in Jingzhou he led ten big ships with a long rod to destroy dozens of warships of the Chen Dynasty, made great contributions, and later he was named the Jiangzhou Assassin History, the term of office expired at the beginning of the year, returned to Beijing to report on his work, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, he happened to visit relatives in Luoyang.

This time, due to Yang Yuanqing's lack of qualifications in the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, so Yang Su recommended Li Zixiong as the governor of Youzhou to receive the Youzhou army, and Yang Yuanqing as the barnyard general.

Li Zixiong went north from Xiangzhou, and as soon as he arrived in Youzhou, he heard that two envoys from the Han King came to Youzhou at the same time, and he immediately guessed that one of the envoy teams must be Yang Yuanqing and they were pretending.

Li Zixiong was very worried in his heart, the arrival of the two envoys of the Han King was easy to be recognized by Dou Kang, the reason why Dou Kang did not allow them to enter the city was obviously to send someone to confront Yang Liang, the longer the time dragged on, the greater the danger, how could Yang Yuanqing think of pretending to be the envoy of the Han King?

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when Li Zixiong turned around, he saw a tall and mighty young man walking into the room, and he immediately guessed that this was the grandson of Mrs. Yang, and couldn't help but secretly praise, what a heroic general.

Yang Yuanqing also saw Li Zixiong, and saw that this person was not the kind of tall and mighty general, his stature was only average, but his smile was very sincere and very affinity.

Before leaving, his grandfather Yang Su gave him a brief description of this Li Zixiong, leading the troops to fight is secondary, but he reorganized the army is very set, in December of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, the Sui army captured the eight thousand troops of the Chen Dynasty general Qi in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Li Zixiong carried out the reorganization, he only used one night of great work, and then organized six thousand elite soldiers, which left a very deep impression on Yang Su, and this time he took over the Youzhou army, Yang Su immediately thought of him.

Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to give a ...... "military salute," and the partial general Yang Yuanqing saw General Li.

Li Zixiong hurriedly helped him up...... Yang Yaqing is Yang Su's most valued grandson, although he is a barnyard general, but he does not dare to call himself his boss.

"General Yang doesn't have to be polite, we are cooperating temporarily, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Of course, Yang Yuanqing doesn't want to bow down when he sees everyone, and Li Zixiong doesn't want to call himself his boss, that's the best.

But Yang Yuanqing was very thoughtful in his number of courtesies, he invited Li Zixiong to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, then he sighed and said frankly: "Don't hide it from General Li, our operation has been leaked...... Dou Kang already knew that we were coming to arrest him. ”

Li Zixiong was taken aback...... "Who leaked such a confidential matter?" ”

In fact, Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that the few people who were at the meeting at that time were most likely to leak the news to Yuwenshu, although King Yuzhang didn't like him, but he didn't have anything to do with his enemy Yang Liang...... It's tantamount to harming my grandfather.

Although Yang Yuanqing knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it to Li Zixiong, Yang Yuanqing smiled and diverted the topic, "Actually, we don't have much time, we must complete the task in two days at the latest, I am most worried that General Li will not arrive, now that General Li has arrived, then we will act tomorrow." ”

Li Zixiong is not as successful as Yuan Qing, he really has no bottom at all, so he asked worriedly: "What plan do you have?" ”

Yang Yuanqing said lightly: "I have a plan, I guarantee that Ming Wu will capture Dou Kang alive within 81zw days, the key is to receive the army, now most of the army is in the city, General Li think about it, how to receive the army of Youzhou?" ”

Early in the morning, Shao Ziwen went out to the governor's mansion as usual, Shao Ziwen's home is not far from the governor's mansion, only two miles away, generally he does not take a carriage, but rides a green sè strong horse, he likes to see others to him that kind of awe of the god sè, that and nodding and smiling, in his first thirty years, he is generally in awe of others, nodding to others, and his heart has been suppressed for a long time, he attaches great importance to others' attitude towards him.

In fact, he has nothing to do in the governor's mansion, Dou Kang will only ask him when he can't make up his mind, and he doesn't care about the usual chores, just take two hundred dollars a month and three stone rice, as well as fish, meat, mountain goods, etc., someone will send it to his house every three or five days, and at the end of the year, there is a generous field rent, Dou Kang rewarded him with five acres of land, which is enough to make him live a good life.

However, people will think about yinyu, Shao Ziwen already has two concubines, during this time he took a fancy to the daughter of Tian Erfu in the Tofu Fang on East Street, who is sixteen years old, with a flower and moon appearance, and his skin is whiter than tofu, but Tian Erfu is a white family, and if he wants to let other people's daughters be concubines, Shao Ziwen has to pay a great price, not only that, but raising a concubine is also very expensive, food, clothing and housing, jewelry and fat powder, and he also has to buy a maid to serve, at least forty or fifty hangs a month, Shao Ziwen is a little unable to make ends meet, This incident made Shao Ziwen more than he could do it.

In the past few days, Shao Ziwen has been thinking about how to make Dou Kang reward him with a sum of money, Dou Kang is very rich, but if he wants him to reward, he must have the material.

Shao Ziwen had something in his heart, and his riding speed gradually slowed down.

"Mr. Shao!"

Suddenly, someone next to him called him, Shao Ziwen turned around, and saw a simple-looking man standing on the side of the road, with dark skin, strong tendons and flesh shining in the sun, and his eyes were filled with reverence and inferiority.

Shao Ziwen liked this and feeling very much, he was thin and small, and this kind of strong man's fear of him made him have an extreme sense of superiority, he narrowed his slender eyes and asked, "You have something to do with me?" ”

The man scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly! "I am the blacksmith Xu on West Street, my father is going to celebrate his birthday, and I want to ask my husband to write me a calligraphy and painting, and I will give my husband fifty dollars to moisten the pen."

Shao Ziwen couldn't think of who the blacksmith Xu was on West Street, but the pen of fifty hanging money made him excited, generally he wrote a word for others, at most only a few hanging money, but this person was willing to give fifty hangings, and it may also include a portrait, but even if it is a portrait, fifty hanging money is also very generous, so he smiled happily: "I appreciate filial piety people the most, since you are filial to your father, then I will fulfill you, where?" ”

"It's in my shop, my father is old and can't come, Mr. Shao, please get in the car."

Shao Ziwen had already seen a wide and gorgeous carriage on the side of the road, it turned out to be to invite himself, although it was a bit too extravagant for a blacksmith to hire such a carriage, but Shao Ziwen thought that it was the sincerity of this blacksmith, if he didn't sit, it would be a pity.

"Alright! You ride my horse. ”

Shao Ziwen turned over and got off the horse and happily got into the carriage, but before he could fully get on the carriage, an iron tong-like arm strangled his neck, and dragged him into the carriage Shao Ziwen couldn't shout at all, a roll of broken linen blocked his mouth, he was terrified, through the car window, he saw Xu Blacksmith again, at this time, the honest expression on Xu Blacksmith's face had disappeared, and he became extremely cold and fierce, Shao Ziwen had a wail in his throat, how could there be a reason to write a calligraphy and painting for fifty hanging money?

Shao Ziwen was drowsy all the way by méng, he felt as if the carriage was out of the city, the road was very bumpy, as if it was a muddy road, and after walking for a while, the carriage was bumpy, and finally stopped, his eyes were méng, I don't know where he was?

The carriage stopped in a courtyard, and the two big men carried Shao Ziwen out of the car like chickens, and the rope strangled Shao Ziwen's bones and almost broke Shao Ziwen's bones, and Shao Ziwen screamed in pain.

"Jia Qi, the general said that he could be untied."

Shao Ziwen suddenly heard this accent, this is the accent of the capital, and as soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood that this must be the person sent by the Holy Lord to arrest Dou Kang, and they actually started from themselves, Shao Ziwen felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

The rope was loosened, and he was led into a room, and then the méng eyecloth was removed, and his eyes were dim, and after a while he gradually returned to normal, and before him sat a young general, very tall, with an indescribable majesty in his eyes.

"Sit down!"

The young general's tone was soft, and Shao Ziwen's heart was slightly reassured, and he found himself in an empty house with mottled walls, the walls were rammed with mud, stained with large patches of green mold, and the roof was shiny and covered with oil tiles, which was a typical country house.

But there was a circle of big men standing around, all of them were bare-chested, muscular, with black hair curled up in front of Xiong, and their faces were fierce, which made Shao Ziwen frightened, and a big man put a bowl of buttermilk in front of him, and he held the bowl with trembling hands and took a sip.

"My surname is Yang, and I am ordered by the Holy Lord to arrest Dou Kang, and I hope that Mr. Shao will cooperate."

Yang Yuanqing, who was sitting opposite, did not hide his identity and intention, Shao Ziwen's heart trembled, and he guessed it, he restrained the tension in his heart and asked, "Does General Yang need me to do anything?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, with a wave of his hand, two big men stepped forward with two large copper plates, the copper plates were full of yellow and clear gold ingots, there were as many as a hundred taels of gold in the plates, and the two large gold ingots were placed in front of him, and the red gold light was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

Shao Ziwen quickly estimated in his heart that one hundred taels of gold is worth more than 10,000 yuan, ten thousand hangings! His heart began to get hot, if he had 10,000 concubines, how many concubines could he marry?

The corners of Shao Ziwen's mouth twitched, 'Goo! Next, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, his eyes couldn't suppress the greedy luster that came out of his bones, and the greed of human xing was violent at this time.

Yang Yuanqing sneered in his heart, he was really right by Wang Yicheng, this Shao Ziwen is greedy for money, and he does not hesitate to betray his master for the sake of a hundred taels of gold.

However, it is not enough to buy gold, some people collect money and then turn around and sell themselves, the stakes are very high, Yang Yuanqing does not want to take this risk.

"Daddy!" A young man's voice came from the yard, Shao Ziwen turned around, only to see his most beloved youngest son appear in the yard, Shao Ziwen has three sons, the eldest son is fifteen years old, the second son is twelve years old, and the youngest son is ten years old, this is his ten-year-old son.

Shao Ziwen's face changed greatly, he stood up quickly, but was sat down coldly and hard by the big man next to him.

"You ......"

Shao Ziwen's face was swollen red, staring at Yang Yuanqing deadly, gritting his teeth and saying, "You let my son go."

Yang Yuanqing smiled faintly, "I have never known you all my life, and the lives of our three hundred people are in your hands, of course you need a hostage, isn't this normal?" ”

Yang Yuanqing slowly pushed the gold in front of him, "You can choose, if you don't want to do it, I won't force you, I will give the gold to others, your son will pay you back in the future, if you want this gold, then you will do your best to get things done for me, you choose for yourself!" ”

Shao Ziwen stared at the yellow gold in front of him, the greed once again occupied his heart, at this moment, Dou Kang's trust and support for him in the past few years had become insignificant, and money had triumphed over loyalty.

"Okay, I promise ......"
