Since the eighth prince returned to Bianjing, there was Yang Peng's battle against Ye Yu Hongguang, which caused the Northern Recruitment to destroy the whole army, and the Empress Dowager Xiao's Jinyang hunt was over, and Yang Yanzhao also gave Jiao Zan to find it in Zhengzhou at this time.

Yang Yanzhao was silent when he was a child, and when he was a child, he liked to play games such as military formations. Yang Ye once said: "This son is like me." "Every time Yang Ye goes on an expedition, he must let him follow the army. During the Taiping Rejuvenation period, Yang Yanzhao was by-elected as an enshrinement official. When Yang Ye led his troops to attack Ying and Shuozhou, Yang Yanzhao served as the vanguard of the army, fighting under the city of Shuozhou, and was shot through the arm by random arrows, but the more he fought, the more brave he became. The imperial court sent him to serve as the governor of Jingzhou as the deputy envoy of Chongyi. At that time, the Yangtze River and Huai River areas were affected by disasters and poor harvests, and the imperial court appointed him as the inspection envoy of Jiang and Huainan. He was also reappointed as the envoy of Chongyi, Zhiding Yuanjun, and transferred to the inspection envoy of the border of Baozhou, and entrusted with the important task of being like the envoy of the Beijing Division.

The origin of Liulang is said to be that in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was popular to call the line, or according to the same grandfather, or according to the same great-grandfather, and the peers were ranked according to age. For example, Fan Chun is the fourth son of Fan Zhongyan, but he ranks fifth, and the so-called person is called "Fan Wuzhang (Zhang: the honorific title of Tang and Song scholars)". Therefore, although Yang Yanzhao is the eldest son of Yang Ye, he is demoted to sixth in the big ranking.

According to the explanation of the stars in the "Elephant Star Chart", some scholars deduced that the six stars of the Southern Dipper are the main military aircraft and are the elephants of the generals, and the sixth star of the Big Dipper, which is the elephant of the generals, is the main Yan, and Yang Yanzhao has been dealing with the Liao army of Yandi for a long time, and the Liao army regards him as the general star in the sky, so he is called Yang Liulang.

According to legend, Wanniu Zhang Village, Fengxiang Township, Nanpi County, is the place where Yang Liulang puts the yak array. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao soldiers repeatedly violated the border, and Yang Liulang was ordered to resist. In order to skillfully eliminate the invading enemy, Yang Liulang secretly sent people to buy more than 10,000 yaks, put feed on the belly of the straw man, wear the clothing of Liao soldiers, and lure the cattle to pick open the belly of the straw man with a knife tied to the horns. After more than 100 days of training in this way, the cattle saw that those wearing the clothes of the northern soldiers fiercely used their horns to pick, and they were used to it as before. Yang Liulang saw that the training was mature, so he ordered the cattle to be starved for three days and three nights. Send people to the Liao camp to challenge, wait for the Liao soldiers to chase after them, release the ten thousand cattle, the yaks rush into the enemy formation, pick people when they see them, and the Liao soldiers have been killed and wounded countless times. The Song army won a great victory. Since then, this place has been named Yak Formation. Later, because the surname Zhang lived in the village,

The Lord of Cheshire is the daughter of Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, after Song Taizu established the Great Song Dynasty, because he and Later Zhou Shizong were friends of eight worships, so he recognized the Lord of Cheshire as a righteous daughter, and Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong led the Lord of Cheshire to the border to shoot and hunt, and was captured by the Liao generals. Yang Yanzhao passed by Tongtai and rescued the King of Song and the county lord. Fu Dingkui, the son of the minister Fu Long, was also coming, and the king of Song mistakenly thought it was Fu to save the driver, so he promised the county lord to marry. And the county lord loves Yan Zhao Mijun; Give poems and pearl shirts. Yan Zhao returned to Beijing and sought advice from the Eight Sages. The Eight Sages King and the new champion Lu Meng are breaking the poetry and playing the Song King. The king of Song insisted that Ding Kui was the rescuer, and the county lord asked the Golden Palace to explain the truth and falsehood. So, Yang Jiye and Fu Long each led their sons to the palace, and Lu Mengzheng ordered Yanzhao and Ding Kui to explain the rescue process in person, and the truth was revealed. The king of Song declared: The legacy of the first king, the person who obtained the pearl shirt of the county lord is the county horse. Yan Zhao immediately offered his pearl shirt, because he rescued the driver at Tongtai Pass, and the official title was Bao Linghou, the commander of the Golden Gun Class of the front division of the palace, and married his wife to the Lord of Cheshire.

In the Battle of Song and Liao, in the Battle of Golden Beach, Yang Liulang and other brothers went to Golden Beach to negotiate. During the negotiations, King Tianqing, the wolf lord of the northern kingdom, that is, the Emperor of Daliao Tianzan, Yeluxian, saw through the Song Taizong pretended to be Dalang Yanping and ordered a war. Yang Ye calmly dealt with it in three ways, the left route was led by Dalang Yang Yanping, Erlang Yang Yanding, and Sanlang Yang Yanan, the middle route was led by his father Yang Ye and Liulang Yang Yanzhao, and Qilang Yang Yansi, and the right road was led by Shilang Yang Yanhui and Wulang Yang Yande. The Yang family army fought hard to kill the enemy, and Yang Yanping shot and killed the king of Tianqing, but the Liao soldiers increased sharply, and the Yang family army was scattered on all three roads, and they could not take care of each other. Only Rokuro broke out of the encirclement and returned to China alone. Before the battle, there were seven sons to go, and six sons to return.

Yang Jiye's son Yang Qilang once competed in the ring, killed the Taishi Pan Renmeizi Pan Leopard, Yang Jiye led the army to resist Liao for the vanguard, Pan Renmei announced a personal vendetta, and did not answer, resulting in Yang Jiye crashing to death in front of Li Lingbei, Pan Renmei also secretly killed Yang Qilang, Yang Liulang broke through the siege with nine deaths, and sued Pan Renmei after returning to the court, but because the emperor Song Taizong's concubine was Pan Renmei's daughter, the lawsuit was not successful. In the end, he asked Kou Zhun to help, and Kou Zhun used the theory of ghosts and gods to coax Pan Renmei to tell the truth. In the end, because the queen begged for Pan Renmei, she was not beheaded, but let Pan Renmei be assigned to the army. Yang Liulang refused to accept the result, and with the help of Kou Zhun, he finally killed Pan Renmei in the black pine forest to avenge his father and brother. Song Taizong ordered the arrest of Yang Liulang to no avail, and soon Song Taizong died, and Song Zhenzong succeeded to the throne. At this time, Yang Yanzhao was still in Zhengzhou, hiding from the official's house, and arrived at Yang Peng's Quqi. Zhao Hengcai pardoned Yang Liulang.

Meng Liang and Jiao Zan were originally the kings of Bajiao Mountain, and soon after the two wanted to rob Yue Sheng, the flower knife general, and Yang Xing, the tiger Taibao, but they were defeated by the two. So the four of them bowed, and Yue Sheng became the king. And the fourth Yang Xing's martial arts are very high but he does not know the art of war, Yang Yanzhao passed by Bajiao Mountain in command, and these four people were defeated by Yang Yanzhao, and then returned to Shun, accompanied by Yang Liulang as a general. Although the four of them did not worship Yang Liulang, they were like flesh and blood, and they all called Yang Liulang the sixth brother.

Liaobang Han Chang took command of the invasion, Huyan Pixian was invincible, the three passes were urgent, Zhao Defang, the king of the eight sages of the supervising army, recruited talents, and Yang Liulang came to the border pass as Ren Tanghui to offer advice to the eight sages king, he looked like Yang Liulang, can he pretend to be Liulang, and temporarily retired from the Liao soldiers. The Eight Wise Kings took a risk. As a result, Han Chang was scared away, but Han Chang quickly saw through this plan and returned to the siege again, the defenders in the city were insufficient, and under the crisis, it was the cold winter wax moon at this time, and the dripping water turned into ice. The Eight Sages King acted according to the plan of "Ren Tanghui", when every night, the Song army sent soldiers to take buckets and water the city wall over and over again, and the cold air at night made the city wall quickly put on a new layer of ice armor, this layer of ice armor, updated day by day, and poured a new layer when it was broken, and the cycle was endless. The Liao soldiers rushed to the city, unable to climb the city, Han Chang could only look at the city and sigh.

"Ren Tanghui" gave advice to the Eight Sages King again, and ordered the pawns to go to the countryside and villages to buy hundreds of yaks, tie them in the woods to make them hungry, and then tied countless straw men with hay, dressed them in the clothes and hats of enemy soldiers, and exposed the hay. After the mercy stopped, the hungry yaks were released and driven into the straw bushes. As soon as the yak smelled the smell of forage, he rushed to eat it, and when he couldn't eat it, he used his horns to pick open the strawman's belly. In this way, the yak was trained several times, and then it was tied into the woods and starved. Coincidentally, three days later, the enemy attacked. Yang Liulang immediately issued an order and ordered the soldiers to tie the pig slaughtering knife to the horns of the yak. When the enemy approached, Yang Liulang gave the order to untie the rope and herd the cattle. At this time, the yak thought that the enemy was a straw man who fed him, so he ran towards the enemy line one by one with his tail lifted. When you see someone, you pick, and when you smell no grass smell after you pick it down, you will pick something else. In this way, the enemy retreated for dozens of miles, and countless people were killed and wounded.

Yang Liulang's life is full of legends, and now with Yang Peng's bending, the Yang family is more tough in the imperial court, and the eighth prince has also come to Tianbo Yang's Mansion many times to visit Yang Yanzhao. Yang Yanzhao's current wife gave birth to another son to Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao's eldest son is called Yang Dezheng, and the younger son's name Yang Yanzhao is Yang Wenguang.

Yang Yanzhao handed a piece of paper to Chai Xichun, who nervously smoothed the folds on the paper and held it in his arms like a baby. "Lang Jun, this is an heirloom, you can't throw it away." Yang Yanzhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "County Lord, these things were copied from ancient books for my husband, and they have never been practiced, and the specific ones still have to be explored by craftsmen." You don't have to be so nervous. In fact, it was Yang Peng who brought the method of refining wine from Zhou Yunjing to Yang Yanzhao.

Chai Xichun blinked, stared at Yang Yanzhao expectantly, and asked, "Lang Jun, is that ancient book still there?" Is there anything else written about it? Yang Yanzhao glanced at her reproachfully, "Greedy...... The ancient books of the sages, all recorded in bamboo slips, have been handed down for thousands of years, and have long been dilapidated. It is a fluke for my husband to have the privilege of reading one or two of them. As for the ancient book, it has gone with the wind. "Gone with the wind......"

Chai Xichun looked regretful. Immediately, she hugged the paper in her arms tighter, "Lang Jun, since the ancient books have been destroyed, then these two skills, except for our family, others should not have them." Then it should be kept safely. With these two skills, our family is equivalent to having an ancestral inheritance, and future generations will not have to worry about running out of food in the future......" Yang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment and smiled.

That's right, in addition to martial arts, if the Yang family has other ancestral skills of mixing rice and eating, a blue-faced beast with a natural vision will not go to sell knives...... Yang Yanzhao just couldn't get used to Chai Xichun's nervous look. "County Lord, these drawings still have to be handed over to the craftsmen to explore, and it will inevitably be leaked when the time comes, so you don't need to be so nervous. Besides, no one cares about the value of something on the drawing until it is proven to be viable. ”

Chai Xichun snorted: "The craftsmen of the brewing workshop have signed a death contract with the government. If they dare to spread it, the concubine will kill them. The tenants are all relatives of the generals of the house, and they are both prosperous and loss-making with the house. They did not dare to betray the interests of the government. "As for whether this thing is feasible or not, the concubine will personally stare at the craftsmen to do it......" Chai Xichun obviously took care of the housekeeper.

Yang Yanzhao's persuasion was fruitless, so he simply went with her. Anyway, no matter how Chai Xichun tosses, it is his own people who will benefit in the end.

Yang Dezheng, as the left supplement, basically has no other work on weekdays except for writing and talking about things and impeaching hundreds of officials. Now Yang Yanzhao has no official status, and he still has plenty of leisure time. In the afternoon, Chai Xichun went to the brewing workshop.

Yang Dezheng practiced martial arts alone in the East Courtyard. Practicing the end gun with both hands, the strength increases significantly faster than with one hand. He could feel that the strength of his hands had obviously reached a hundred catties. This body was originally the embryo of martial arts, and the martial arts were far faster than ordinary people. End the gun for an hour.

Yang Dezheng shook his whole body, threw away the stone lock, held the tiger-headed black gold gun in both hands, and stabbed it out suddenly. The body of the gun is like a lightning bolt, and it is like a line. In a flash. In front of Yang Dezheng, a seven-foot-high, two-foot-wide log pillar was erected. The tiger-headed black gold spear pierced through the log pillar, digging a deep pit in it.

"Huh~" "Smack~"

Drawing his gun, the log pillars were torn apart and scattered all over the ground. "Even if you are diligent, you haven't wasted your martial arts." A voice sounded at the moon gate in the east courtyard. When Yang Dezheng heard about his reputation, he saw Yang Yanzhao dressed in black and standing like a gun. "Greetings to Daddy, child." Yang Dezheng put away the gun and stood up, clasping his fists to greet him.

Yang Yanzhao went to the East Courtyard with a dark face, and scolded in a deep voice, "I heard that you have caused a lot of trouble in recent days?" Yang Dezheng was stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly stunned. He probably guessed Yang Yanzhao's intention. He didn't expect that Gao Chujun would really go to Yang Yanzhao. In the political game in the court, if you lose, you lose. Next time, it's time to get back on the field.

Finding parents is a way for children to sue if they lose a fight. Gao Chujun's way of doing things is really down. Yang Yanzhao opened his mouth to ask, but Yang Dezheng didn't dare not answer. Slightly arched his hand, and said: "The child eats the king's Lu and bears the king's worries." In the position of filling the gap on the left, it is natural to assume due responsibilities. ”

After a pause, he said: "The child has indeed impeached several important ministers of the DPRK recently, but there are reasons for everything. The reason why the children impeached them was because they were not upright and did things that violated the laws of the court. If you think it's a trouble, the kid has nothing to say. "A gentleman deceives him. A loyal and upright person like Yang Yang Yanzhao, Yang Dezheng only needs to put the big truth in front of him, and he will give in.

Sure enough, Yang Yanzhao listened to Yang Dezheng's words, and his attitude eased a little. "Da Lang, although you are young, you are already in an important position, and you are a civil official, and there is a difference between civil and military. Dad has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he is good at everything on the battlefield, but he knows very little about Wenchen.

Dad can't teach you Wenchen's way of life, so naturally he won't accuse you of doing the right thing. Dad only hopes that you will leave a little affection when facing the gate. After all, you're also from a general's background. Yang Dezheng listened to it, and everything Yang Yanzhao said was heartfelt. He didn't expect that Yang Yanzhao would say such open-minded words. He bowed deeply to Yang Yanzhao, "The child remembers his father's teachings. ”

"Hahaha......" Yang Yanzhao finished educating Yang Dezheng, and laughed loudly: "Dad, I see that your duangun has been practiced well, and it's time to teach your family martial arts." Yang Yanzhao coughed, and walked in from outside the moon gate two soldiers in armor and knives. Guarding the door, let no one come in without my command. The two soldiers bowed.

"No!"

Then, they retreated outside the Moon Gate, guarding one left and one right. Yang Yanzhao paced to the weapon rack in the east courtyard and selected a silver-like pewter gun from it. "Whoosh~" casually tied a few spear flowers and nodded with satisfaction. "Dalang, look at it." When the words landed, Yang Yanzhao stood with a gun, and the aura of the whole person was completely different from just now.

At this moment, Yang Yanzhao is like a big gun, picking up all directions. "Black Tiger Opens Mountain!" Yang Yanzhao burst into a shout, and the gun came out like a tiger descending the mountain, which was overwhelming. "The green dragon offers melons!" As soon as the gun turned, the head of the gun was raised, like a green dragon circling, implying murder. These two types of marksmanship, one rigid and one soft, are both rigid and soft, and are very sleek.

The Yang family's Liuhe army array gun, twelve styles, six rigid and six soft. At the beginning, he was domineering; Soft, delicate. After a set of twelve-style marksmanship drills, Yang Dezheng was already dazzled. Yang Yanzhao finished the drill again, and did not stop, but continued to start the drill. Rehearsing this set of marksmanship has become a little more cumbersome, and it has become more domineering and more sophisticated. Yang Dezheng can see that Yang Yanzhao's second drill, the twelve-style marksmanship, has changed.

The twelve-style marksmanship has been transformed into thirty-six variations.

……

The third time, there were seventy-two variations of marksmanship.

……

The fourth time, there were one hundred and eight variations of marksmanship.

……

The fifth time, there were 240 variations in marksmanship.

……

Sixth, three hundred and sixty variations.

……

"There are 12 types of war guns in the Liuhe Army, and each style has 30 variations. There are 360 variations of the 12 forms. Yang Yanzhao stared at Yang Dezheng practicing his gun while pointing from the side. Yang Dezheng is holding a tiger-headed black gold gun, practicing one move and one style, one board and one eye. "The black tiger opens the mountain, this style pays attention to force and fierceness, but there must be room for it. You are fierce and leave no room for anything. If you are not qualified, you will ...... again" Yang Yanzhao has a very strict attitude and is very demanding. He demanded that Yang De must practice every style of marksmanship to the exact point, and the transformation of rigidity and softness should be completed in one go.

Under Yang Yanzhao's guidance and reprimand, Yang Dezheng practiced the twelve-style marksmanship in a decent manner. Yang Yanzhao saw that Yang Dezheng had been able to complete the twelve-style marksmanship according to his requirements. He opened his mouth and continued: "The Liuhe Army's war spear is roughly in the triple realm. In the first realm, you must be able to fully understand and practice the twelve-style marksmanship in one go, and be able to flexibly apply it to actual combat. The second realm is based on the first realm, and the changes in marksmanship begin to derive, 12 to 36, 36 to 108, 108 to 240, 240 to 360...... Practicing marksmanship to this level is already a great achievement. ”

Yang Dezheng was puzzled, "What about the third realm?" When Yang Yanzhao heard this, he glanced at Yang Dezheng, "It's so ambitious, your father and I have been practicing guns for thirty years, and we have barely reached the ......point of two hundred and forty and three hundred and sixty," Yang Dezheng frowned, thoughtful, "Dad, the third realm should be three hundred and sixty to two hundred and forty, two hundred and forty to one hundred and eight, one hundred and eight to thirty-six, and thirty-six to twelve, right?" ”

Yang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect you to be so perceptive in martial arts...... Now that you've guessed it, Dad won't hide it from you. Indeed, as you said, after the completion of marksmanship, the complex was simplified, and from the 360 changes, a new 12-style marksmanship was summarized and integrated. Only when you come to this point can you really practice marksmanship to the pinnacle.

Marksmanship is dead, man is alive. Everyone's physical condition is different, and the marksmanship that suits him is different. Only by taking the twelve-style marksmanship as the foundation, practicing changes, and finally integrating and unifying, and deducing their own unique marksmanship, can we truly reach the pinnacle of marksmanship. This is also the true subtlety of the 12-style marksmanship created by the ancestors. The reason why Yang Yansi was able to guess the original meaning of the third realm was because he found that the triple realm of the Yang family's Liuhe army's war spear was slightly similar to the triple realm of life.

Yang Yanzhao's words just now also confirmed the conjecture in Yang Dezheng's heart. Look at the mountains are mountains, and see the water is water; Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water; Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water. From simple to complex, from complex to simplified. Many things in the world seem to follow this principle. ……

Yang Yanzhao taught with all his heart, and Yang Dezheng studied patiently. In the blink of an eye, an afternoon has passed. When the moon gate sounded, "Liuhe army war spears, there are twelve types, each style has thirty variations." There are 360 variations of the 12 forms. ”

The martial arts of the family are one of the foundations of every general. When teaching martial arts, those who are not of the same clan are not allowed to observe or steal learning. Although Chai Xichun is already a member of the Yang family, it is a pity that she still has no qualifications to observe and learn, because she is not surnamed Yang. Yang Yanzhao stopped teaching martial arts, and gave an order to the soldiers at the gate of the moon, and the soldiers let Chai Xichun enter the door. After Chai Xichun came to the door, he saw Yang Yanzhao and Yang Dezheng's father and son standing with guns, and he was slightly stunned. She was also from Jiangmen, and she only needed to glance at it to understand what the father and son were doing just now.

Gao Chujun's matter has already made Yang Yanzhao feel the difference in Yang Dezheng's status. On weekdays, in the eyes of Yang Yanzhao, the nobles who need to give three points of courtesy have become the targets of wanton impeachment in the eyes of Yang Dezheng. It can be seen that Yang Dezheng's voice in the court has faintly surpassed Yang Yanzhao. Yang Yanzhao was a little happy and a little sad in his heart.

Happily, his decision was right, and he strongly supported Yang Dezheng to take the imperial examination and become a civil official. Now Yang Dezheng has not only become a civil official, but also serves as a noble official like Zuo Buque, and he also has the right to speak in the court. Yang Yanzhao has been on the border for many years and has had enough of the hardships of civil officials.

Now there is also a civil official in the family, and he feels that he will have a care for him when he is away from the border in the future, and he will no longer have to suffer so much loss and suffering. The sad thing is that he has been fighting for many years, and in the end, the right to speak in the court is not as deterrent as his son who has just come out of office. The contradiction of emotions in his heart caused Yang Yanzhao not to know how to face Yang Dezheng. Simply, in addition to instructing Yang Dezheng in martial arts, he tried to avoid too much solitude.

lest after a long time, he will lose the majesty of being a father in front of Yang Dezheng. Yang Yanzhao's mood, Yang Dezheng can roughly guess some. However, he couldn't try his best to take care of Yang Yanzhao's emotions. He must make others feel his importance, so as to replace Yang Yanzhao and become the real decision-maker of the Yang Mansion.

Putting away the tiger-headed black gold gun, Yang Dezheng simply washed up. The only way to become the real decision-maker of the Yang Mansion is to become the Yang Mansion. Only then can he drag the people of the Yang family back from the brink of death and make the Yang family like an iron bucket. I have already instructed the kitchen lady to make a delicious meal. Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy, and as martial arts grows, the more energy the body needs.

Yang Dezheng's meal volume also gradually increased. When the four bowls of rice were full, Yang Dezheng only felt that he was eighty percent full.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, early in the morning, when the sky was hazy, Yang Dezheng had already gotten up. Today he is going to visit the Shi family, so he has already asked for leave yesterday and does not need to go to court.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
