Chapter 53: Father and Son Meet

"King Jin wants to see me?" Ling Yun was a little surprised, and as he spoke, he grabbed a hot steamed cake from the steamer and poured it between his hands.

"Yes, please come with me immediately." Kuzhen Metropolitan Governor Pei Li urged, he took out a handwritten book from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Yun.

"I'm going with you!" Gao Qianxue said to Ling Yun with concern, her tone was full of distrust of Yang Guang, "If we die, we must be husband and wife together." ”

I don't want to die, Ling Yun thought to himself. He stood there and opened the handbook, and there were only two words on it, Yi Feng. Those were two familiar words, because they were exactly the same as the words on his jade pendant. This made him slightly moved, maybe there was something hidden in this. Maybe he should go and meet Yang Guang, after all, Yang Guang did not order a direct attack on the manor. He didn't want to die, he didn't want Qianxue to die, he didn't want the people of Gaojiazhuang to die, and he didn't want his sister Murong Qiangrose, who he had just reacquainted, to die. It's just that what does Yang Guang mean, why didn't he see Gao Qianxue, but proposed to see himself?

Maybe I should go and meet Yang Guang to see what he really wants. For Yang Guang, Ling Yun can be said to be famous for a long time, in later generations, Yang Guang does not have a good reputation, before the throne, Yang Guang has the best reputation as a virtuous king, brilliant writing, and great martial arts. After succeeding to the throne, he had always been very good at the beginning, and under his rule, the empire reached its peak in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and established the tribute system of the heaven-dynasty kingdom, which was the center of the eastern world, and the surrounding countries did not dare to obey. Built the Great Wall, built the eastern capital, dug canals, and conquered Yiwu, Tuyuhun, Linyi, and Ryukyu, all of whom surrendered. If Yang Guang had died before the seven years of the Great Cause's conquest of Goguryeo, perhaps he would have been a great emperor who had been passed down through the ages, rather than a fallen monarch who had been lamented by countless descendants. Three expeditions to Goryeo, the empire collapsed.

"I'll go with Saburo, and my younger siblings will stay here." Murong Rose said calmly. This is already a dead end, maybe the way to break the game is on Yi Feng, she also saw the two words in Yi Feng's hand, and her heart was full of surprise.

"Please come with me!" Pei Li urged again.

When Ling Yun and Murong Rose followed Pei Li out of the village to Yang Guang's temporary camp, Yang Guang was discussing with his subordinates how to deal with the Shen family, the Gao family, and the suddenly uninvited tiger girl.

It was a cold and wet morning, the sky was gray, the ground was muddy after a night of rain, and a group of private soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had just come down from the front to change the guard, laughing and stepping on the mud to return to the camp, and there were many auxiliaries in the camp, who were responsible for repairing armor and weapons, cooking and feeding horses. However, Yang Guang's big tent was very warm, dry and comfortable. This is a large tent that can accommodate more than 100 people, and there are several braziers in the tent, and you can't feel the cold and damp outside. Guo Yan sat next to one of the braziers, holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, tasting the tequila tea that he was addicted to as soon as he drank it, and said leisurely: "The evidence is conclusive, let a certain directly take a soldier and a horse to destroy the Shen family, and a certain guarantee that no one will be let go." Speaking of this, there was a slight smile in his eyes, "Wu Xing Shen's family has a fortune of billions, this fat pig is just killed for meat, with this money, we can recruit a lot of brave warriors, and add a lot of equipment, grain and grass." ”

Duan Da also agreed, "Your Highness has been in Jianghuai for many years, and he has always been gentle and gentle, but there are still many families like the Shen family, and the yang is against the yin. This time, I just killed the chicken and set an example of the monkeys, and borrowed the chicken of the Shen family to make an example of these monkeys in Jiangdong. This is a critical time, and we must not let the backyard catch fire while we are at war with the East Palace. ”

However, Xiao Chen Pingyu Wenshu keenly found that King Jin was not satisfied with such a result. Seeing that King Jin had been frowning slightly, Yu Wenshu immediately changed his mind.

"I agree with the idea that General Manager Guo and Duan Senjun want to sanction the Shen family, Wu Xing and the Shen family are so arrogant and bold, it is absolutely impossible not to sanction them. Punishing them can indeed set an example for them. However, a certain person feels that sanctioning the Shen family does not necessarily mean destroying them. While speaking, he kept observing Yang Guang's face, and when he saw Yang Guang's eyebrows stirring a few times, he finally settled down and continued: "Now is a critical time, and our own territory must be stable." Wu Xing Shen must be sanctioned, but a certain person thinks that it is not necessary to kill. We now have in our hands the exact evidence of their rebellion, which is the evidence of the destruction of the Nine Clans. In fact, we can send troops and horses to Wuxing first, show them to the Shen family, beat and intimidate them, and then pull the Shen family to our ship. I believe that with such an opportunity, they will definitely be willing to fully support His Highness from now on. ”

Yang Guang nodded and praised slightly. Yu Wenshu is worthy of being his mastermind, and he is also dealing with the Shen family, but Guo Yan and Duan Da only know how to fight and kill, and if they destroy the Shen family, they can certainly ask the court for credit, but they can't get too many benefits, at most they can get a lot of money. But compared to Yu Wenshu's idea, it is much worse. Hit the Shen clan first with a stick and then give a date, and use the evidence of their rebellion to blackmail the entire Shen clan into tying up their chariot, and the result is completely different. Destroying the Shen family is likely to cause the shock of other wealthy families in Jiangdong, and even the fear of rebound. And letting the Shen family go, but being able to turn the Shen family into his own people, is of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong. In fact, the Shen family is not really a rebellion, these Jiangdong wealthy families have always put the interests of the family first, and there is no court in their eyes. They were only dealing with the Gao family for smuggling profits, and it was not true that they were going to rebel. Otherwise, Yang Guang would never dare to tolerate a tiger hiding around him like this, the Shen family is at most a local dog guarding the door. Give him a few bones, and he'll wag his tail.

"Zhang Heng, you transfer five hundred horses to Wuxing, and let the Wu family send one hundred young children, including the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house, to the lonely pro-army to serve as guards, and in addition, let them take one million yuan and bring it back to you." Yang Guang ordered, "Of course, if they have any different opinions, you can directly execute the head of the Shen family and help them change to a new one, if the new head of the family still refuses to agree, then change another." In short, the Shen family must agree to all of Gu's demands, and must be completely subordinate to Gu in the future. ”

A hundred children of the family are hostages, plus one million yuan can be exchanged for the survival of the entire Shen family, I believe that the Shen family knows how to choose.

"What should the Gao family do, and the tiger girl?" Zhang Heng asked, they surrounded here all night, but they did not attack, which made him a little puzzled. Even if he is Yang Guang's right-hand man, many times, he can't see many of his thoughts clearly.

Yang Guang took a sip of the teacup and put it down, "What is the residual strength of this Gao family?" ”

Liu Luan, the advisor of the royal palace, replied: "Although the Northern Qi Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, the Gao family still has many supporters in Shandong. Gao Shaoyi and Gao Baoning's daughter have been gathering a force around them for many years, they rely on the secret support of the Shandong people to survive tenaciously, although the imperial court has been wanted many times, but they often hide in the area of the Liao River outside the Guan, and are protected by the Goryeo people, so they have been at large. Up to now, because of the secret support of Gao Li and the secret contacts with Shandong, the Gao Qianxue sisters have an extremely extensive smuggling network, and even many Jiangdong clans are involved in this network. The interest of this smuggling is very high, so that the Gao sisters have been raising a large number of outlaws. The Gao family now has its nest in Liaodong, but in Shandong and Jiangdong, there are also many secret strongholds, and they have trained and recruited at least tens of thousands of outlaws, and they have no power, and they secretly store a large number of grain and grass equipment in the north. The most important thing is that because of the smuggling network, they have interests with many powerful people in Shandong and Jiangnan, and they have woven a big net. ”

In a word, the Gao sisters are very rich and have people. The most important thing is to have money, they relied on the support of Goguryeo to establish a large smuggling network with the Central Plains, and the huge interests connected many Central Plains heroes. Yang Guang also believes that those who defect to the Gao family sisters to work for them will not really miss the old country very much, and most people still follow them for money.

However, the power of the Gao family sisters still surprised him a little, two weak women actually ran such a large network of forces, and they underestimated them.

"How much do you know about Murong Rose and the Tiger Alliance?"

"Murong Rose is the daughter of Murong Ke, the leader of the Tiger Alliance, the largest green forest force in the north a few years ago, and Murong Ke is actually a member of the imperial court." Liu Gu's words were astonishing.

Yang Guang was surprised, "Murong Ke is a member of the imperial court, why don't I know this?" ”

Liu Guyan said with a smile: "Murong Ke is a secret spy under the staff of the Imperial Military Department, and he used to be a subordinate of Changsun Sheng, and he has been installed in the territory of Xi and Khitan in the north of Yanshan. At the beginning, Murong Ke was able to suddenly rise to Yanshan and subdue more than 700 green forest forces, which was actually completely supported by the imperial court. Although the imperial court had already broken the Turks at that time, the shape of the northern frontier was still not optimistic, especially the continuous expansion of Goguryeo in the northeast, which had become a hidden danger for a long time. The imperial court installed Murong Ke to unite the green forest forces in Yanshan, in fact, in order to monitor Xi and Khitan in another name. These two divisions were located between the Turks and the three families of Goryeo and the Great Sui, and no matter who they fell towards, they were extremely critical to the situation in the entire north. Although the Khitan and Xi fell to our Great Sui after the Turkic split, they were also threatened by the Turks and Goryeo at any time, and they could fall to the side of the other two at any time. ”

The imperial court originally wanted to use Murong Ke's hand to create a green forest force in Yanshan, which could not only monitor the Khitan and Xi, but also properly knock them down when they were disobedient, and even the imperial court originally planned to send some government soldiers to pretend to be green forests after the establishment of this alliance, and become an unofficial imperial court control zhì armed force. In this way, it was possible to monitor the Khitan and Xi without using the name of the imperial court, so as not to directly cause tension among the Turks and Goryeo. At the same time, it can also integrate and control the green forest bandits in these frontiers, and count them in one fell swoop.

It's just that there are times when the chess pieces are disobedient, and not long after Murong Ke pulled up the Tiger Alliance, he actually began to disobey the command of the imperial court, and even risked losing control. In the end, the imperial court took action to get rid of the chess piece that had been propped up by his own hands, declaring the failure of this plan.

Yang Guang was very surprised, he didn't expect that the Tiger League, a green forest organization in northern Xinjiang, was actually full of the shadow of the imperial court.

"The imperial court originally wanted to support other obedient people after getting rid of Murong Ke, but in the end, it didn't expect that Murong Ke's thirteen Taibao fully supported Murong Ke's daughter Murong Rose to inherit his throne. Murong Rose actually sat firmly in her position, but the Tiger Alliance was no longer in its former glory, and it returned to a scattered situation. However, now Murong Rose has gradually cleaned up the situation, and there is a tendency to reunify the northern green forest. I heard that some people in the court plan to subdue Murong Rose and the Tiger Alliance to serve the imperial court, or, like getting rid of her disobedient father, get rid of her, and support another person to control this force. ”

"How many people does Murong Rose control now?"

"There are more than 100 cottages in the Tiger League, and there are more than 10,000 minions. However, there are thirteen old battalions directly under the control of the Tiger League, with a total of nearly 5,000 men and horses, and thousands of horse thieves, and the power is not small. ”

Yang Guang nodded thoughtfully, the two chaotic forces of the Gao family and Murong were a little unexpected to him, on the line from Yanshan to Liaohe, they actually controlled one or two hundred thousand people, although in his opinion, many of them were just a rabble, but they should not be underestimated.

"Tell me, what is the relationship between Yi Feng and them?" Yang Guang asked.

Liu Guyan joined the army as Yang Guang's advisor, in charge of intelligence, and replied familiarly: "Yi Feng used to be Murong Ke's righteous son, it is rumored that he picked it up from the foot of Taihang Mountain six years ago, and Yi Feng, who was only ten years old at the time, actually killed a tiger alone. Later, Yi Feng became Murong Ke's righteous son, the standard-bearer, because of his courage and ability to fight, and Murong Ke's other twelve righteous sons were called the Thirteen Taibao by the rivers and lakes, and Yi Feng also had a nickname White Horse Silver Spear. After Murong Ke's death, he continued to support Murong Rose, and mastered the White Horse Hall, one of the most elite combat halls of the Tiger Alliance, with 200 cavalry and 800 foot soldiers. Then, not long ago, Yi Feng suddenly went south, and then he entered Gaojiazhuang and made Gao Qianxue an aunt. ”

"The alliance between the Tiger Alliance and the Gao family?"

"No, it is said that Yi Feng saved Gao Qianxue's life, and then Gao Qianxue recruited Yi Feng. However, Yi Feng had already lost his memory at that time, and Gao Qianxue did not know Yi Feng's identity. ”

As a result, many people here don't believe it, how can there be such a coincidence. In the hearts of these people, they always feel that there is something else hidden.

"Interesting!" Yang Guang smiled slightly, "An amnesiac Yi Feng has united the two major chaotic forces in the north. ”

Yi Feng and Murong Rose were brought into the tent, Ling Yun looked Yang Guang up and down, Yang Guang also looked Yi Feng up and down, and the other people in the tent were secretly looking at Yi Feng and Yang Guang. Then, they were shocked to find that the famous man White Horse Silver Spear Thirteen Taibao Yi Saburo in the northern green forest was actually very imaginary with His Royal Highness the King of the Great Sui and Jin, and even like a mold carved out, it was too similar. King Jin Meiziyi, very handsome, has been praised by everyone since childhood. Now just after standing, it looks more and more graceful and elegant, and Yi Feng, although he is very young, and has an uninhibited atmosphere, can still make people sigh at a glance that he seems to be another Jin king, a young and full of wild and uninhibited Jin king.

In an instant, many people in the tent felt a lot more understood.
