When he saw that an outsider had broken into the courtyard, he didn't panic, but frowned, got up and covered his face with a curtain, and then turned around and entered the house. Hou Renbao saw that he was about to leave, so he wanted to chase after him quickly. was blocked by Yang Yanzhao in front of him. Yang Yanzhao said coldly with a gloomy face: "Lord Hou, please respect yourself." ”

Hou Renbao glared at Yang Yanzhao angrily and scolded: "Yang Yanzhao, don't be embarrassed. What your Yang family has committed, it's not enough to die a hundred times. This official is just asking for a concubine, and he is willing to help you Yang family say something, which is already considered to give you face. If you stop it any longer, you will spoil the interest of your own officials. This official will join your Yang family, so that you can die a little faster. When your Yang family is beheaded all over the house, and the concubine is exiled to the official education workshop, she will not be the same as the official to play with. ”

"That's enough." Yang Yanzhao burst into a loud cry and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hou, I respect you as an angel sent by the imperial court, and I will give you three points for everything." But you don't have to make an inch. My son, how can you touch it? Hou Renbao laughed angrily, "Okay! Okay, you Yang Yanzhao, you have been robbed of your official position. In front of this official, you are nothing more than a pariah. Even if you dare to threaten this official. This official must let your Yang family, you can't eat and walk around. ”

"Lord Hou is so powerful!" The quarrel between Yang Yanzhao and Hou Renbao was heard by the Cheshire lord who bowed his head in the room to settle accounts. Lord Cheshire paced out of the small building and shouted sarcastically. The Lord of Cheshire held up his big belly, and first bowed to Yang Yanzhao, "I've seen the master." ”

Yang Yanzhao rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "You are pregnant, you don't have to be polite." The Cheshire Lord looked at Hou Renbao, and Hou Renbao also looked at the Cheshire Lord. Hou Renbao was not polite to the Lord of Cheshire, and he scolded sarcastically: "Women, show up, Tian is shameless." Lord Cheshire raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "You're just a dog, why can't I show my face in front of you?" I think back then, you took the imperial examination and failed twice. Kneel in front of our Eighth Prince's Mansion with the article in your hand, and let my father carry you.

Tell me how you looked like and what difference you had from a dog. Today, you have an official body and put on an official skin, do you think you are not a dog? In front of our Zhao family, you are still a dog. Hou Renbao was angry about the old things and humiliating things, and immediately scolded angrily: "You slut." The Cheshire Lord raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Give me a slap." ”

With the order of the Cheshire Lord, dozens of women wearing strong suits came out of the bamboo forests on both sides. Someone stopped Hou Renbao's guards, and someone stopped in front of Yang Yanzhao. A woman in red, when she came to Hou Renbao, raised her hand and had two big mouths.

The Cheshire Lord glared at Hou Renbao coldly and scolded: "My master is benevolent and righteous, and he will give you three points everywhere." Do you really think of yourself as a character? Whether it is in the eyes of our Yang family or in the eyes of my Zhao family, you are just a dog. To be a dog is to have the consciousness of being a dog.

Dare to bark at us, and kill your dog. "Hou Renbao has ever suffered such humiliation. Ever since he worshiped under Xue Juzheng's door, he has been on a steady footing, relying on Xue Juzheng's protection, and he is a character wherever he goes. After entering the imperial court, he figured out the holy will everywhere, and soon became Zhao Heng's confidant.

Even the prince had to give him three points of face when he saw him. Hou Renbao stared at Cao Lin with red eyes, and said viciously: "Slut, today you humiliate this official, and the Yang family will be defeated one day, and this official will definitely play you to death." Yang Yanzhao's face immediately changed, he stared at the beads of his eyes, and said coldly: "Hou Renbao, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Yang family?" ”

The name of waking up in the Yang Mansion just now is just the concubine of the Yang Mansion. Although Yang Yanzhao was angry, he was just angry. But the Cheshire Lord is Yang Yanzhao's wife, and humiliating the Cheshire Lord is humiliating the Yang family. Yang Yanzhao can not be angry. If it weren't for Hou Renbao's identity as an angel, Yang Yanzhao would have hammered him to death on the spot.

When Lord Cheshire heard Hou Renbao's words, his face changed, and her voice instantly rose by one degree, "Okay, very good." Just by your words, your Hou family is full of people, and they all deserve to die. The Cheshire Lord coldly instructed the woman in red, "Jiayi, you take a team of people and horses to personally send Hou Renbao's family on the road." "The woman in red, codenamed Koyi, is the leader of the newly formed Volcano Guard of the Lord of Cheshire.

She heard Lord Cheshire's order, and nodded without hesitation: "My subordinates obey." Hou Renbao said madly: "Little slut, this official is an official of the imperial court. If you dare to understand my family, you will also die. Your Chai family won't have a good time. The Cheshire lord sneered: "My Chai family has the iron scroll of Danshu given by the emperor in my hand, as long as I don't rebel." Who can help my Chai family? ”

Hou Renbao wanted to fight back, but the Cheshire Lord didn't give him a chance at all. The Cheshire Lord directly ordered: "Break his legs and send him to Shengzhou to hand it over to my son Yang Dezheng." said that the old lady and the awakening sister were bullied by this person. Let him watch it. "The people of the Volcano Guard did not hesitate to carry out the orders of the Cheshire Lord.

As Hou Renbao's screams rang out, his legs had been broken. Yang Yanzhao wanted to stop it, but he didn't have time.

Yang Yanzhao said with a frightened face: "County Lord, you are in a big trouble. Lord Cheshire whispered to Yang Yanzhao: "Master, many of these things were caused by my son. You shouldn't take him to suffer. Since they are looking for my son, then leave them to me to deal with. Please redeem me for overstepping. ”

Yang Yanzhao was stunned and sighed, "Hey~" Yang Yanzhao didn't say a word, and left the bamboo forest quietly. The Lord of Cheshire did not hesitate to send Hou Renbao, together with the people who accompanied Hou Renbao, to send them all to Shengzhou to Yang Dezheng.

Although the Cheshire Lord couldn't guess how Yang Dezheng would deal with these people, she could conclude that with Yang Dezheng's temperament, after learning what Hou Renbao had done, Hou Renbao's fate would not be too good. Anyway, Yang Dezheng robbed a lot of money, and he could completely support them. Yang Gui and Yang Dezheng divided the people into two parts. One part was responsible for continuing the construction of the walls.

In the plan of Yang Dezheng and Yang Gui, the future Fuxing Pass is a Guancheng with 50,000 soldiers. Therefore, it is impossible to have only one wall. The other part of the people began to help get into a state of readiness. Some people were sent to the weapons workshop, some people set up a cotton armor making workshop, and some people led the people and horses to help the army at the head of the city to prepare rolling wood, stones and other weapons to defend the city, and even carefully sent them to the city to hoard.

What surprised Yang Dezheng was that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people. During this division of labor, I found a lot of craftsmen. There are those who can make strong bows, some who can make strong crossbows, and some who can make weapons...... There are even armor that can be crafted into a variety of armor. Yang Dezheng almost did not hesitate to open several workshops in a row.

In order to win the war against the Liao State, Yang Dezheng did not hesitate to pile up all the money he had robbed. Of course, Yang Dezheng also has his own wishful thinking. There was no way he would allow his subordinates to use the same equipment.

The equipment of his subordinates will only get better and better. Similarly, Yang Dezheng will not throw away the obsolete equipment, and he has even thought of a place for these equipment. Yang Dezheng is now racing against time to prepare for all the things of the battle, and he doesn't think about anything else. However, he didn't have time to think about anything else, but that didn't mean that nothing came to him.

When Yang Dezheng was about to move his line to the basket of Fuxing Guancheng, he was blocked by a group of people at the door of the barracks. All the women blocked the entrance of the barracks, all of them were very beautiful, which was very eye-catching. After training all day in the camp, the soldiers, who had long been insane, began to cry wolf after seeing this group of women appear.

When Yang Dezheng saw this group of women, he guessed their identities. The old lady Cheshire Lord re-established the volcano guard. Yang Dezheng also couldn't understand why the Lord of Cheshire preferred to use women as spies so much. The leader is a woman in red with a beautiful appearance but a frosty face.

She was under the command of the Lord of Cheshire, codenamed A II. After Jia Er saw Yang Dezheng, he ordered someone to throw Hou Renbao in front of Yang Dezheng. She said in a stiff tone: "The mistress said that this person bullied her and the awakening girl, let you do it yourself." Yang Dezheng looked at Hou Renbao, who was beaten into a pig's head, and frowned: "Who is this?" How did you get beaten so badly? ”

Jia Er didn't reply, but asked people to throw the rest of the bound people in front of Yang Dezheng, and then left in stride. Yang Dezheng glared at the new volcano guard who left in style. Suddenly, I felt the urge to press down and spank Jiaji. He really wanted to catch Jia Er in front of him and ask Jia Er who was the head of the family. Still, he just thinks about it.

The priority is to figure out who this guy who was beaten into a pig's head is. Since this man had offended the Lord of Cheshire, the old lady did not execute him, but sent him to her side. That means that this person's identity is not ordinary. The old lady couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she sent it to him to deal with it. Yang Dezheng squatted down and removed a stinky mass stuffed in Hou Renbao's mouth.

Before Yang Dezheng could ask, he heard Hou Renbao shout in a heart-splitting voice: "Yang Dezheng, you are dead." and the little slut of the Lord of Cheshire, who is also dead. Your Yang family is also dead. If you dare to beat your official and try to murder your official, you are all dead. All of you in the Yang family are going to die. ”

Yang Dezheng's face darkened, stared at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Lao Tzu is not dead, you don't count." First of all, tell me who you are, what identity do you have, and everyone in my Yang family can die? Hou Renbao shouted: "This official is sent by order, Hou Renbao." ”

"Hou Renbao?!" Hearing this name, Yang Dezheng raised his eyebrows, approached Hou Renbao with a smile, carefully looked at Hou Renbao's cheek, and said, "Is it really your straw bag?" Hou Renbao shouted: "Yang Dezheng, you insult this official, and the crime will be increased by one degree." ”

"Smack!" Yang Dezheng gave Hou Renbao a big mouth and sneered: "Didn't you just say that Lao Tzu's family has to die, then Lao Tzu will be afraid of a crime and a second degree?" "Yang Dezheng hated Hou Renbao from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since he witnessed this guy throw 100,000 forbidden troops into Jiaozhi and run away, Yang Dezheng couldn't wait to kill this guy with his own hands. In Yang Dezheng's view, this kind of person should be executed at Ling Chi. The court still appoints such people as ministers, which is simply blind.

Therefore, to Hou Renbao, Yang Dezheng is not polite at all. Yang Dezheng grabbed Hou Renbao's ears and warned him coldly, "You'd better be honest with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." "Hou Renbao is also a master who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin. He was not afraid of Yang Dezheng's threat at all, "If you dare to kill this official, your family will have to be buried together." ”

"Smack!" Yang Dezheng rewarded Hou Renbao with a big mouth again, and sneered: "You are also worthy of saying this?" Are you also an official? If Lao Tzu guessed correctly, the imperial court sent you, you should have discovered what I did in Linzhou, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou. So you want to recruit me...... No, no, no, to be precise, they want to give me a knighthood casually. Then pick the peaches from my hands and pick the three states of Linzhou.

Am I right? Hou Renbao scolded: "What if you guess right? Even if you want to join the imperial court, this official will not let you do it. Yang Dezheng, you dog thief, harbor evil intentions, tear the territory and seal the territory, and intend to rebel, everyone will be punished. This official will not give you the slightest chance of a dog thief. ”

"Smack!" Yang Dezheng continued to slap Hou Renbao and sneered: "Say you're stupid, you're still really stupid." Lao Tzu now holds the three states of Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Daizhou, and Lao Tzu and the Zhe family have formed an alliance. The Zhe family holds Fuzhou and Linzhou, as well as the land of the five counties of Yinzhou.

The two of us can gather 200,000 soldiers and horses at any time to compete with the imperial court. Do you think that the imperial court sent you to Shengzhou in this situation to show off its might? The court wanted to appease me and win me over. But here you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf for me. Do you really think of yourself as a character? Even if Lao Tzu kills you today, the court will not say a word to Lao Tzu. Hou Renbao exclaimed: "Impossible, you are a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished." ”

Yang Dezheng sneered: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, I will send two people to send a letter to the imperial court, just say that you, Hou Renbao, are disrespectful to Lao Tzu and have been cut down by Lao Tzu." Yang Dezheng re-blocked Hou Renbao's mouth with that dirty mass. Then he selected two of the captured gold-armored guards and would go to deliver a letter to Zhao Heng.

Yang Dezheng said to the two gold-armored guards with a big grin: "You will go and tell Your Majesty that my Yang family will not rebel against the Great Song Dynasty." However, His Majesty's promise to my father to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement has never been fulfilled. Now my Yang family can only get it back by their own ability.

As for the future generations, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou, they are still the land of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that it will all be under the control of our Yang family in the future. Anyway, I took this Shengshu and Toyoshu by myself. I'm in charge of it, and no one can fault it. After paying the tax money every year, and deducting the food and drink expenses of 50,000 soldiers and horses in each state, I will also send the full amount to Bianjing City to Your Majesty. ”

"This ......" The two gold-armored guards obviously showed embarrassed expressions when they heard Yang Dezheng's words. According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the total number of Xiang troops, Fan soldiers, and township soldiers in a state should not exceed 30,000. Yang Dezheng opened his mouth, and on the basis of this number, he expanded by 20,000.

In the Great Song Dynasty, except for some prosperous cities that have been upgraded from states to prefectures, the tax revenue of a state can only support 50,000 horses at most. The reason why the state capitals provided for 30,000 horses was because there was still a part of the money left over to be filled into the treasury. Yang Dezheng now threatens to support 50,000 horses in each state under his rule, which means that he will not give the imperial court a penny of tax silver in the future.

How is this different from self-reliance? The two gold-armored guards, since they entered the palace on an errand, have really never seen this kind of thing. I didn't know what to say for a while. Yang Dezheng seemed to see what the two people were thinking, and he smiled and said: "Of course, every year in our five states, in addition to paying a certain amount of taxes and silver to the imperial court, there will also be additional tributes to be sent over. ”

One of the golden-armored guards boldly asked in a low voice, "I don't know how much money Da Lang prepares to pay tribute to the imperial court every year?" Yang Dezheng smiled and said: "When it comes to money, the official believes that the court will not look at it if there is a little money." In the land of our five states, there are basically no special products, that is, they are close to the party and the Liao people, and there are enough horses. Every year, the official would pay a tribute of 5,000 horses and 3,000 foals. ”

The two golden-armored guards nodded subconsciously. Five thousand war horses, plus three thousand foals, were sold to the Great Song Dynasty, which was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The tribute of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is indeed not a small amount. The two gold-armored guards hugged their fists to Yang Dezheng at the same time and said: "Please rest assured that Yang Dalang, we two brothers will definitely tell Your Majesty Yang Dalang's words word for word."

Please also ask Yang Dalang, take care of our other brothers and don't hurt them. Yang Dezheng glanced at the other detained gold-armored guards, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this official will definitely serve them with good food and drink." When your news arrives, the official will let them go. ”

"I'm tired." After the two gold-armored guards resigned to Yang Dezheng, they borrowed two war horses and quickly rushed to Bianjing City. The golden-armored guard who went to report the news left.

Yang Dezheng immediately had the armor of the other gold-armored guards removed. The armor on these gold-armored guards is a fine product created by the Great Song Dynasty General, which is not only gorgeous, but also very practical. Yang Dezheng is now in armor.

Nearly twenty sets of gold armor were stripped off and sent to the barracks. The officials above the rank of general in the barracks reluctantly mixed in a decent armor. Yang Dezheng threw the gold-armored guards to the weapons workshop, and let these guys who had been raising fat in Bianjing City all day long be used as coolies. Only Hou Renbao was tied to the horse's tail with a rope and hanged.

Yang Dezheng has a deep grudge against Hou Renbao, so he will definitely not deal with Hou Renbao easily. When Yang Dezheng dragged Hou Renbao to the Fuxing Pass. Chen Yao hurriedly hurried down the wall and reported to Yang Qiyu, "General, according to the report of his spies, the Liao people have gathered 150,000 soldiers and horses to go south, and they have arrived in Shangjing under the command of Yelu Xiuge, the king of the southern courtyard of the Liao State. ”

Yang Dezheng threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Wang Xing, and said with a solemn face: "150,000 Liao troops, the Liao people have made up their minds to give me a dismount." Shangjing City is still five days away from Chenjiakou. You go and pass on my military order, ordering Yang Gui to lead 20,000 Fuxing infantry and Yang Xin to lead 50,000 Jin troops to climb the city wall and hold the Fuxing Pass. At the same time, he ordered Fan Long to lead 30,000 revival rangers to clear the wilderness. Outside the revival of the Guan, all the Han people within 20 miles withdrew to the Guannei. ”

Chen Yao immediately went down to convey Yang Dezheng's order. Almost after Yang Dezheng's order was issued, Fan Long led 30,000 revival rangers to rush out of the revival pass and implement the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. Yang Xin also took 50,000 Jin soldiers to Fuxing Pass.

The three-mile-long city pass was almost filled with 70,000 soldiers and horses. Under the leadership of Yang Gui and Yang Xin, the soldiers began to set up heavy crossbows on the city wall. Due to the lack of heavy crossbows, a large number of archers were sent in places where there were no heavy crossbows. The entire revival pass has entered a pre-war state.

The people who were in charge of building the city wall in Fuxing Pass could clearly feel the tense atmosphere in Fuxing Pass. Just when everyone is nervous. Yang Dezheng arrived outside the city wall with 20,000 people, but he still did an unbelievable thing. On the city gate building, Yang Gui and Yang Xin were wearing armor and standing side by side, looking at the figure of Yang Dezheng and the people busy outside the city, a little stunned.

Yang Gui frowned and asked Yang Xin beside him, "What is Yang Dezheng doing?" Yang Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems to be digging a pit." "Yang Xin is indeed digging a pit with the people, but he doesn't know what to do when digging a pit, so he hesitates. Yang Gui clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the armor pieces on his arms knocked on the heart guards on his chest, making a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding.

He grimaced, shook his head and smiled: "Is Dezheng digging a stumbling pit?" This method may be effective on the plains, but it does not play much role under the city. As soon as the enemy sees these potholes, they will bury them as soon as possible. So it's just doing useless work. ”

Yang Xin nodded in agreement, and then sniffed and said: "After all, Dezheng has been involved in too little in the war, so it is understandable to make some strange moves." However, in the next two days, Yang Dezheng's performance was even more strange.

He hid in a makeshift workshop almost every day, occasionally sending people to pull out cartloads of things, and then took advantage of the night to pull them out of the gate. Two days later, Yang Dezheng sent people to dig all the holes outside the city, and he sent people to bury them. It seems to be a disguise that there used to be potholes in this place. He even sent Fan Long, who spent most of the day leading revival rangers, running frequently in the open space outside the city.

This time, Yang Gui and Yang Xin were confused again. Yang Gui also stopped Yang Dezheng and asked him what medicine was sold in the gourd, but Yang Dezheng told him a secret. After that, Yang Gui characterized all of Yang Dezheng's actions as nonsense. He didn't bother to pay attention to Yang Dezheng's approach anymore. He and Yang Xin were single-mindedly at the head of Fuxing Pass to strengthen the defense of Fuxing Pass.

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