Chapter Twenty-Six: Concealment
"Master Yang, I am the murderer who killed Gao Tai and Gao Shan Thief, how can I implicate your Yang family?"
Seeing this, Li Xingchen asked suspiciously.
Yang Hong cried and said with a sad face: "Li Gongzi doesn't know, now the new Yan King is about to come to Wuzhou......"
As soon as I heard this.
Li Xingchen immediately interrupted Yang Hong, frowned and asked, "Which prince is the newly crowned King Yan of the imperial court?" ”
Since coming to Dalong Township.
He, the old Yan King, had almost cut off all ties with Jingshi.
So I didn't know that Emperor Li Zhen of Wei had re-sealed the king of Yan.
Yang Hong replied: "Nineteenth Prince Li Kuo! ”
"Hehe, it's really him!"
Li Xingchen sneered: "But I heard that he has just turned ten years old this year, and he can afford the heavy responsibility of King Yan?" ”
In the old days when it was at the Royal Palace.
He had heard all kinds of legends about the nineteenth prince Li Kuo.
Since childhood, he has been extremely smart and witty, and he can recite poetry at the age of five, and he is simply a demonic genius.
But Li Xingchen knew that all this was just someone secretly fueling the flames and building momentum for Li Kuo.
"Brother Li, although King Xinyan is only ten years old, he is assisted by Chen Qun, the official of the current dynasty!"
Speaking of this, Yang Hong said worriedly: "This time you kill Gao Tai and Gao Shan thieves, it will inevitably attract the revenge of the Wuzhou Treasury and Longhu Village, but Pingcheng is weak and weak, and it is impossible to withstand their attack, and then Pingcheng will be ruined, my father, as the commander of Pingcheng County, will definitely not escape the blame, and the new Yan King is afraid that he will take the Yang family in order to establish his prestige!" ”
Li Xingchen looked at Yang Hong with interest, and said tentatively: "Master Yang, it's not difficult to resolve this matter, you go back and tell Ling Zun, as long as you hand over me, the culprit, everything will be solved!" ”
"Brother Li, although I, Yang Hong, love money like my life, I am by no means a treacherous person."
Yang Hong's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Besides, even if I hand you over, it may not be able to dispel the anger of the Wuzhou Treasurer and the Dragon and Tiger Village, because their real goal is to level the city." ”
"Master Yang is right, Pingcheng is located in the Yunteng Mountains, north of Qingyun Pass, south of Taicang City, is a strategic place connecting the Central Plains in the sixteen states of Yanyun."
Xiong Tonghai took over the conversation: "Once whoever controls Pingcheng will be able to hold the gate of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and then the Northern Plain of Great Wei will be in the palm of his hand." ”
As the centurion of the former trap camp.
He was well aware of the importance of Pingcheng, which was located in the vast Yunteng Mountains and had great strategic depth.
Because of this, in order to take the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Jin State will persistently attack Qingyun Pass, and then control Pingcheng.
"Master Yang, I don't know if you have ever heard a sentence: If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"
Li Xingchen touched his chin and tapped on the side.
When Yang Hong heard this, his eyes lit up.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside? Li Gongzi means ......"
"Since the strategic location of Pingcheng is so important, even if there is no covetousness from the Wuzhou Treasury and Longhu Village, sooner or later it will be targeted."
Li Xingchen's eyes burned and said: "Instead of passive defense, it is better to strengthen internal armaments and consolidate your own power, only in this way can your Yang family be invincible." ”
Although the Great Wei Dynasty implemented a centralized system, the imperial court only appointed state-level officials.
The county magistrates, county officials and other grass-roots officials are elected by local nobles to each other.
The reason for this is also to distribute the benefits of the major noble families.
Therefore, Pingcheng County ordered Yang Furen to often dare not make drastic moves when dealing with certain things.
For example, Gao Tai's house is rampant in the township, and he can only turn a blind eye.
After all, the Gao family is a Pingcheng family, and the head of the family, Gao Xian, was recommended to Wuzhou as a treasurer.
"It's not a secret, my father had the idea of reforming the military equipment very early, but the major clans in Pingcheng hindered each other, how could I allow my Yang family to have a strong private army?"
Yang Hong drank a glass of wine and said helplessly: "After my father tried and failed repeatedly, he had to be resigned to the status quo." ”
"Look how it goes...... Why don't I form an alliance with your Yang family. ”
Li Xingchen pondered for a moment, and said with a solemn face.
Yang Hong hurriedly asked, "How to form an alliance?" ”
"I'll help you carry out the military reform that your father can't implement; Your father can't consolidate his internal power, so I'll help you do it; In the future, in Pingcheng, your Yang family will be in charge of my main army, I don't know if Yang is interested in it? ”
Li Xingchen's words were loud and conclusive.
made Yang Hong, Wang Yuanshuang, and Xiong Tonghai stunned and stunned!
Li Gongzi is too crazy!
Although you are strong in martial arts, you are gifted and intelligent.
But what the Pingcheng County Order can't do, how can you be a businessman who can do it?!
But Chu Li and Gao Bo were dazzled.
They knew that Li Xingchen would never be reconciled to the humiliation of his former division in Beijing.
Now, the third prince finally began to open his fangs and make his voice to Emperor Wei and the imperial court.
Once Li Xingchen becomes a trend, no one knows whether Emperor Wei will bow his head and whether the court will admit his mistake.
"Brother Li, the reform of armament is very important, and I still need to go back and discuss it with my father."
Yang Hong calmed down the shock in his heart before he slowly asked, "But Brother Li, you said it so conclusively, I would like to hear how you reform your armament first?" ”
Li Xingchen replied: "It's very simple, as long as Ling Zun conceals Gao Tai's death, and I can borrow the hand of the Gao Mountain thief Kou, I can take the opportunity to form a team of no less than 2,000 soldiers and horses." ”
"Borrowing the hand of the Gao Mountain Bandit?"
Yang Hong suddenly realized: "Brother Li's is ...... Spread the Gao Mountain thieves down the mountain in Pingcheng, causing panic among the major clans in Pingcheng, so as to dissolve their obstacles? ”
"Yes, these noble families have strong family wealth, they must be the targets of the Gaoshan bandits, in order to protect their family wealth, they may only obey Ling Zun's decrees."
Speaking of this, Li Xingchen changed his words: "But if you want to do this, you must first block the news from the outside world, even if the Gaoshan thieves go down the mountain to besiege Pingcheng, Ling Zun must also stabilize his mind and must not go to Wuzhou for help." ”
"Shhh...... This is a good plan, but it is extremely risky! ”
Yang Hong was shocked and said, "What if...... If we can't stop the Gaoshan bandits, won't the people of Pingcheng suffer with them?! ”
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiong Tonghai: "Master Yang, do you know who this is?" ”
Yang Hong replied: "Isn't this the old bear of the widow's guard, I often bump into him in Pingcheng." ”
Li Xingchen said: "In addition to being Miss Wang's guard, he is also the centurion of the Great Wei Trap camp. ”
"This ...... How is this possible? How could the soldiers who were trapped in the camp come to Pingcheng as guards? ”
Yang Hong looked at Xiong Tonghai fiercely, his eyes were full of surprise: "Old Xiong, tell me personally, are you a centurion trapped in the camp?" ”
The prestige of the trapped camp resounded throughout the Great Wei.
It has long been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
As the master of Heicheng, he naturally knows the prestige of the trapped camp.
