PS: Before the text, I would like to thank Shunshun 666 and all other book friends who supported "New Song Yinglie" for rewarding this book.

Although he had learned from Xin Feiyu that his righteous brother would come to Taiyuan with the so-called "Beiping Army Envoy Regiment", and although Yang Ye now had countless doubts and puzzles in his heart to find answers, the appearance of his righteous brother Yang Xin still made him a little excited.

Yang Ye let go of the doubts and incomprehension in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted Yang Xinshi, who was wearing the standard camouflage combat uniform of the "Flying Dragon Army": "The younger brother has seen the elder brother. ”

Seeing this, Yang Xin hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Yang Ye, who wanted to pay a full salute to him, and said, "Brother Xian, please hurry up, they are all their own brothers, and there is no need for these red tapes." With that, he pulled Yang Ye, and the two of them walked with their arms in hand, and walked straight into the Shili Pavilion and sat down.

The two sat down, Yang Xin retreated left and right, and in addition to him and Yang Ye in the Ten Mile Pavilion, there was only one Xin Feiyu to accompany him. Afterwards, the two brothers said a few words of greeting, seeing that Yang Ye was talking to him absent-mindedly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Xin understood that his righteous brother now had countless question marks in his head that he needed to answer. So, he changed his words and said, "Brother Xian, although you and my brother have not seen each other for many days, we have a lot to say. But after all, that is a private matter between our brothers, you and I are not unofficial idlers now, and we need to put official affairs first. ”

"My brother is right, although we are brothers, we can't abolish the public for personal reasons. The younger brother has a lot of things to understand, and he still needs to ask his brother for advice. Yang Ye also replied solemnly when he heard this.

Yang Xin nodded, paused slightly, pointed to the dust that was getting closer and closer, and said, "Presumably, what the virtuous brother wants to know most is the origin of this group of people and horses, and the purpose of its approach to Taiyuan?"

Regarding Yang Xin's question, Yang Ye did not answer directly, but stared at the other party's eyes, waiting for his brother-in-law to tell him the answer.

Yang Xin naturally understood what Yang Ye meant, and he continued: "Don't hide it from Brother Xian, what is rolling towards Taiyuan City is the 20,000 troops of my Beiping Army. Moreover, in addition to this army, the cavalry army of more than 10,000 people, which had been harassing the Zhou army's grain route in the south and making great contributions to forcing the Zhou army to withdraw from the siege, was also rushing over to join us. If nothing else, it is estimated that in half an hour at most, the virtuous brother will be able to meet with the old thirty-five muttel who led this cavalry army. ”

"The Beiping Army and our Han are allies, and the two sides worked together to resist the Zhou Army, so that they successfully repelled the Zhou Army's northern invasion and protected Taiyuan. A few days ago, it was your army that agreed to our emperor's suggestion that the two sides should be brothers in the future, and sent Xu Shao'an, the deputy envoy of the Guijun Festival, and Xu Bugle personally led a group of brothers to Taiyuan to discuss the good things of the eternal alliance with our dynasty. The promises of the princes of the Beiping Army are still in my ears, but now that Deputy Envoy Xu has not come, how can it be that brother, you led a large army to my Taiyuan City? Is this what allies should do? Yang Ye asked angrily and puzzled.

Seeing that Yang Ye was getting more and more excited, Yang Xin poured tea for him and let him extinguish his anger, and said to him calmly: "Brother Xian, don't worry, and listen to my brother to explain to you the reason why my Beiping army is going south." Yes, at the beginning of the Zhou army's northern expedition, the Beiping army did form an alliance with the Han court, and it was determined that the two sides would work together to break the Zhou army's attempt to invade the Han state in the north. Moreover, after the two sides signed an alliance, our Beiping army spared no effort to help the Han court with its greatest ability. To this end, the Beiping Army not only transported a large amount of grain and grass and military materials, and delivered a lot of news to the Han court, but also sent a 'military advisory group' led by Xin Feiyu Xin brothers to venture to Taiyuan City to assist the Han court and the virtuous brother you to defend the city and resist the attack of the Zhou army. When the Zhou army intended to attack the city through the tactics of 'fire and water', the Beiping army sent the old 35 Muttel to lead more than 10,000 iron cavalry disguised as Khitan reinforcements to the south, attacking the Zhou army's baggage troops and cutting off the Zhou army's grain route, forcing the Zhou army to abandon the Han and withdraw the army. As an ally, the Beiping Army can be said to have done its best to be benevolent and righteous, and our army has a clear conscience about this. …,

However, the virtuous brother should know one thing, that is, there is a prerequisite for the alliance between the Beiping army and the Han court, that is, the Han state is under the attack of the Zhou army and is in a precarious situation, if our Beiping army does not help, the Han state will soon die at the hands of the Zhou army. With the withdrawal of the Zhou army from Taiyuan and the return of the division to the south, the alliance between the Beiping army and the Han court lost its existence and effective prerequisites, and the alliance between the two sides naturally had to be terminated. This article was decided when the Beiping Army and the Han court discussed the alliance, and Guo Wuwei, the envoy sent by the Han court to our Beiping Army, also personally brought the relevant covenant back to Taiyuan City for the Han emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials to review and discuss. Neither the emperor nor the civil and military officials of the Han State had any objection to this prerequisite. ”

What Yang Xin said was true, and even if Yang Ye was indignant in his heart, he had to admit that his brother-in-law did not tell a lie. It's just that in the face of the more than 30,000 Beiping troops that were rolling in, Yang Ye had no choice but to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and continued to debate with Yang Xin: "What my brother said is naturally true. It's just that since the two sides have both the common act of resisting the Zhou in the front, and the monarchs of the Beiping Army have accepted the suggestion of our emperor, I hope that the brothers of the two sides will be commensurate and the alliance will be formed forever, and the Beiping Army has also promised to send Xu Shao'an, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Xu Bugger, to the south to negotiate with our emperor face to face about the eternal alliance, but why did he rebel, Deputy Envoy Xu did not see the car, but the army of the Beiping Army has come to my Taiyuan City? If the Beiping Army was unwilling to form an alliance with our Great Han Yong, why did they have to agree to our emperor's proposal in the first place? ”

Yang Xin replied in a calm tone: "The virtuous brother has led the army for many years and has experienced a hundred battles, haven't you heard of the words 'soldiers are not tired of cheating'?" If our brothers did not agree to the Liu Jun brothers' commensurate demands, and did not show their willingness to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, how could the Han court relax its guard so easily, how could it be so easy to let my Feiyu brothers and their subordinates out of the city, and how could it be so easy to send you out of the city to greet your brother, so that Brother Wei would have the opportunity to talk with you and explain the reason for the matter? As for the purpose of my brother and I and several other brothers leading the army south, it is naturally self-evident, that is, to capture Taiyuan, pacify the Han Kingdom, and fulfill the will of my Great Zhou Emperor to give me the Beiping Army before withdrawing the army. ”

"Since you want to help Zhou destroy the Han, why did you have to go to great lengths and risk being a head-on enemy with the Zhou court to help the Han resist the Zhou?" Yang Ye said very incomprehensibly, "Instead of this, why not lead the army south when the Zhou army goes north, and destroy my Han with the Zhou army, wouldn't that save a lot of work?" Besides, with my big man in one day, the Lord Chai Rong of that week will not be at peace for a day. If it is not peaceful for a day, it will not point the finger at the Beiping Army for a day. In this way, wouldn't my brother and the princes of the Beiping Army be more comfortable and comfortable. Don't my brother and the princes of the Beiping Army understand that if you destroy my Han today, tomorrow you will become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that the Zhou court will want to get rid of. Moreover, these elder brothers mentioned by the younger brother had said in the letter to the younger brother that day, and used this as the reason why the Beiping Army helped my Han. Why did the Zhou military retreat now, so he turned around and met his former allies, completely forgetting these words. ”

Yang Xin replied: "This time, that time, this time is different from the past. The Han State is a strategic place that cannot be lost in our Beiping army. In the past, this place was in the hands of the Han court, which had a good relationship with our Beiping army, and there were virtuous brothers who took care of and supported us everywhere, and our brothers were still acceptable, and they were not in a hurry to bring the land of Han into the control of our Beiping army. Instead of informing our brothers of the decision to attack the Han Dynasty, the Zhou army did everything possible to conceal the truth from us, and did not hesitate to set the time of the Han attack in the middle of the summer rainy season, which was not conducive to firearms warfare, in case the Han State took the lead for our Beiping army. In this regard, our Beiping army naturally cannot sit idly by, because for a long time to come, this land is the key to whether our Beiping army can continue to maintain its previous strong combat strength, whether it can be safe and sound under the attack of the two major shili of Khitan and Zhou, and it is the key to determining the life and death of our Beiping army. As a result, our Beiping army took the initiative to extend a helping hand to the Han court and helped the Han court to fight against the Zhou army until it was driven out of the Han territory. …,

Today, however, the situation has changed. The Zhou army was forced to withdraw under various pressures. When Zhou Tianzi withdrew his troops, he suddenly issued an order to our Beiping Army, ordering our army to raise troops to the south and destroy the Han State, and promised to destroy the Han State after destroying the Han Dynasty, all the places under the current jurisdiction of the Han State and the eight prefectures were assigned to the rule of our Beiping Army. After having the will of Emperor Zhou, and having a place as important to the Beiping Army as the Han State, it can be reassuring that it is finally in his own hands. Therefore, after some discussion, our brothers decided to follow the order and wave their troops south to take Taiyuan.

As for whether the Zhou court will point the spearhead of the attack at our Beiping army after the Han State is destroyed, this point has never been taken to heart by our brothers. At the beginning of the Youyun War, our brothers were just a wealthy local merchant in Youzhou, and they only had 40,000 private soldiers in their hands, of which only 4,000 or 5,000 people were left behind in Youzhou City. And the 100,000 troops commanded by Chai Rong stopped under Youzhou City for two months, but he never dared to act rashly, and Zuihou had to unwillingly and reluctantly hand over the land of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to our brothers to control. Now that our brothers are the lords of the sixteen states of the Beiping Army, with 100,000 soldiers under their hands, even if he regards us as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, he can only watch us continue to grow bigger and stronger, without any countermeasures or restrictions. To put it a little arrogantly, now it is not whether he Chai Rong and his Zhou court will point the spearhead of attack at our Beiping army, but whether our Beiping army will let go of the Khitans who have been greatly injured and turn the spearhead of the next big war at him Zhou court and at him Chai Rong. ”

Although Yang Ye couldn't understand for a while what was so important to the Beiping Army in the Han State, he actually made the other party first not hesitate to tear his face with the Zhou State and confront it head-on to help the Han resist the Zhou, and then he did not hesitate to bear the notoriety of "treachery" and "backsliding" and directly sent troops to Taiyuan, wanting to destroy the Han Dynasty and then quickly. But one thing is certain, that is, the intention of the Beiping army to destroy the Han has been decided, and no matter how much he argues, he can't change the other party's mind. Moreover, the two countries exchanged troops and each was its own master, and it was understandable for the Beiping Army to do so. Therefore, he no longer entangled with Yang Xin, but decided to say goodbye to his brother-in-law and return to Taiyuan City immediately.

Yang Ye wanted to leave, but Yang Xin naturally refused to let him go. Not to mention that Yang Ye's return will frustrate the surprise attack strategy on his side, and with the relationship between Yang Ye and his side, it is difficult to say whether Liu Jun can let him go. Therefore, Yang Xin's reaction to Yang Ye's resignation was to stretch out his hand and stop: "Virtuous brother is slow." ”

When Yang Ye saw Yang Xin stopping him, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yang Xin didn't care about Yang Ye's indifferent attitude, but persuaded him: "Brother Wei knows that the virtuous brother is a loyal and righteous person, and he will definitely report to Liu Jun to warn him when he goes." It's just that with the character of a virtuous brother, after going back, he will definitely ask Liu Jun to lead the army to defend the city. But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, how can you let the virtuous brother put your life at risk, for the sake of the Han court that will surely be destroyed. Second, with the relationship between the virtuous brother and the brother, after going back, Liu Jun is afraid that he will no longer trust the virtuous brother, and even suspects that the virtuous brother will collude with the brother, and the army of the Beiping Army was attracted by the virtuous brother. At that time, in order to vent his anger, Liu Jun said that he would not want to take you as a virtuous brother. It can be said that the virtuous brother going to Taiyuan City is tantamount to sending him to death, and he can't sit idly by no matter what. ”

Yang Ye didn't appreciate it when he heard this: "As the adopted son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and a general of the Han Dynasty, now that the court and his father are in trouble, how can he ignore the safety of his father and the court for his own selfish interests." Even if he was killed because of his father's misunderstanding, Liu had no complaints. I also hope that my brother will let my younger brother go back for the sake of your brother's affection, in the name of the loyalty of the whole younger brother. ”…,

"Even if Brother Xian doesn't take his life seriously, doesn't he care about the net worth and life of his wife, children, and family?" Yang Xin continued to persuade bitterly, "If the virtuous brother loses his life, how can they survive as orphans and widows." Besides, if the virtuous brother was killed because of Liu Jun's suspicion, how could he let your family go. Even if it is just for the sake of his wife, children and family, the virtuous brother should not be so uncaring for his life. ”

Although what Yang Xin said was dissuasive, it was not nonsense. Yang Ye also understands that if he is suspicious of his father when he goes back this time, he will certainly be unable to escape death, and his family is afraid that he will also be implicated, and life and death are unpredictable. Thinking of his wife and his two young sons, his originally firm mind couldn't help but loosen a little. But when he thought that if he didn't return from his patrol, and the Beiping army attacked the city again, his father would also think that he was colluding with the Beiping army and "luring wolves into the house", and his wife and children would also be in danger, and the result would be no different from his own return, Yang Ye's mind gradually became firm.

Seeing the change in the expression on Yang Ye's face, he seemed to hesitate. Yang Xin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and decided to tell him another thing that was unexpected by the other party, completely dispelling his idea of returning to Taiyuan. He asked: "Brother Xian, do you know, but it's only a ten-mile road, why did Brother Wei and the Beiping Army go south for so long, and it took more than two hours to reach Shili Pavilion?" ”

Yang Xin's question was very sudden, Yang Ye couldn't turn around for a while, but subconsciously responded: "Why?" ”

"Because my brother wants to delay the time when the soldiers come to Taiyuan City as much as possible, so that the manpower of my Beiping Army in Taiyuan City has enough time to act, and take the wife, children and family of the virtuous brother out of the city to reunite with the virtuous brother." Yang Xin told the truth.

Yang Ye couldn't help but be stunned on the spot when he heard this, and it was hard to believe what his righteous brother said for a while. After a while, he asked in disbelief, "Is what my brother said true?" Where are the younger brother's wife and young son now? My lady was by no means a gullible person, and how did my brother make her believe in the man he had sent, so that she would follow him out of the city? ”

Yang Xin replied easily: "If someone else invites it, my younger brother and sister will not be gullible." But if the person who invited him was a palace eunuch who often went to the mansion of the virtuous brother to deliver the decree, presumably no matter how cautious and shrewd the younger brother and sister were, it would be impossible to see the flaws. Now my brother and sister and my two nephews must have left the city, and they should be able to get to Shili Pavilion soon. The virtuous brother only needs to wait for a moment, and he can know that what the brother said is true. ”

Although Yang Xin said it very easily, Yang Ye was very shocked when he heard it. Because from Yang Xin's short sentences, at least one conclusion can be drawn, that is, the eyeliner and meticulous work planted by the Beiping Army have developed into the palace of the Han Dynasty and the side of his father, and the Han court and the Son of Heaven are all under the control of the Beiping Army. The shock of this discovery to Yang Ye was no less than the shock caused by the tens of thousands of troops that he found out that his brother-in-law brought this time was not the envoys of the Beiping Army.

Although he hadn't seen his wife and children yet, Yang Ye could see from Yang Xin's eyes that the other party was not lying. On one side is his adoptive father, and on the other side is his wife and children; If you go back, you will not only be separated from your wife, but you will probably be in a different place. Staying behind not only reunites the family, but also saves lives. In addition, with his brother-in-law's skills, if he insisted on not letting him go, he really had no chance to get out - after all, he had never won the other party in the past few martial arts competitions. Such a situation made Yang Ye unable to make a decision for a while, and it was difficult to choose. After being silent for a long time, he had to shake his head helplessly, and said to Yang Xinshili: "Since my brother insists on not letting my younger brother return to Taiyuan City, my younger brother will obey his fate." However, the younger brother stayed only to comply with his brother's wishes, not to surrender to the Beiping Army, and it was difficult for the younger brother to help capture Taiyuan. ”

Seeing that Yang Ye finally decided not to return to Taiyuan City, Yang Xin was overjoyed. He hurriedly helped Yang Ye up and said, "Brother Wei knows that you are a loyal and righteous person, so naturally I will not let you do that disloyal and unrighteous thing." This time to capture Taiyuan, not only will you not let your brother go, but also your brother will not go. You and my brother will drink and reminisce in this ten-mile pavilion, and when the matter is over in Taiyuan City, it is not too late to enter the city again. ”
